Area forecast discussion, Feb 13, 2:55 PM EST, 3 hours 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 255 PM EST Thu Feb 13 2020 .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Friday Night/... A cold front is moving southeastward across the forecast area, and is currently positioned across east-central Georgia. Showers and isolated thunderstorms are ongoing in the areas along and ahead of the front. While the threat for severe weather has ended across the area, with a low instability/high shear environment in place ahead of the front, there is still a chance for some isolated strong thunderstorms capable of producing gusty winds in east-central Georgia through mid-afternoon. Precipitation has mostly come to an end across north and west Georgia, with only some isolated light showers and trace amounts of additional rainfall expected through the remainder of the afternoon today. Rain chances will also end across central and east Georgia this evening after the cold front clears the area. As a result, the Flash Flood Watch over far north Georgia has been allowed to expire. Nonetheless, several rivers, creeks, and streams remain in or near flood stage, which will continue through the end of the period. Northwesterly surface winds behind the cold front will usher in a considerably cooler airmass across the area. Breezy conditions are anticipated through the afternoon and evening behind the cold front, with northwesterly winds of 10-15 kts and gusts of 20-25 kts. Some locations in the higher elevations of north Georgia could flirt with wind advisory criteria this afternoon, but a widespread enough event warranting an advisory issuance is not expected. Wind speeds will gradually diminish during the overnight hours. On Friday, a strong upper-level ridge and surface high pressure are expected to build over the eastern CONUS, promoting clear and dry conditions over north and central Georgia through the remainder of the short term period. In contrast with the previous several days, low temperatures Friday morning will range from the upper 20s in far north Georgia to the upper 40s in east-central Georgia. High temperatures on Friday are expected to be mainly in the 40s and 50s, followed by lows in the 20s and 30s across the area early Saturday morning. King && .LONG TERM /Saturday through Thursday/... The long term period picks up on Saturday morning with an upper-level ridge across the eastern U.S. and surface high pressure centered on the Eastern Seaboard. The ridge will be pushed out over the Atlantic as weak longwave troughing sets in at the upper levels across the eastern U.S. on Sunday. Models differ a good bit in their handling of precipitation on Sunday... The ECMWF develops a surface low in the northern Gulf of Mexico and suggests rain chances for parts of the CWA, while the GFS is much less gung-ho with precip. The most recent model runs show better agreement on a mostly rain- free Monday, and they also agree on upper-level flow becoming west- southwesterly with increasing moisture starting on Tuesday. Interestingly, GFS PWATs for Tuesday are near 1.6" across much of north and central Georgia, while the daily mean is 0.56" and the daily maximum is 1.34" (per FFC sounding climatology from SPC). In addition, there is a strong signal amongst the models for rain across the CWA on Tuesday, so have gone with likely PoPs across much of north Georgia. A cold front looks to push through the CWA around midweek, though timing of the front and the timing/coverage of the associated rain is uncertain. Highs and lows will be within several degrees of normal for Saturday and Sunday. For Monday through Thursday, highs and lows will trend above average, making for spring-like weather. Martin && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... SHRA/TSRA is ongoing across east and central Georgia, but has come to an end at the metro TAF sites as the cold front has cleared the area. Some isolated SHRA is possible in the areas behind the front, but coverage is not sufficient to warrant more than VCSH through the afternoon. MVFR ceilings remain in place across the area. Improvement is expected through the afternoon, with VFR conditions expected to develop by 22-00Z and remain through the end of the period. NW winds of 10-15 kts and gusts of 20-25 kts are expected to gradually diminish tonight, dropping to 7-10 kts by Friday morning. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Medium confidence on the timing of ceilings. High confidence on all other elements. King && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
