Area forecast discussion, Feb 18, 6:43 PM EST, 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 643 PM EST Tue Feb 18 2020 .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 325 PM EST Tue Feb 18 2020/ SHORT TERM /Tonight through Wednesday Night/... Current satellite loop shows showers and isolated thunderstorms moving east across the southeastern states. These storms are associated with a frontal boundary extending from the New england states to the TX/MX border. This boundary is expected to move slowly SE through GA and stall somewhere across south GA Wednesday evening. Precip is expected to continue across the area through the short term but they will tapper off a bit Wed afternoon especially across areas N of the Interstate 20 corridor. The main area of precip is across N GA but it will slide slowly south with the frontal movement over the next 24 to 36 hours. We have see 1 to 2 inches across areas south of an Atlanta to Augusta line with some isolated 3 inch amounts over the past 24 hours. With this boundary moving through the CWA we could see an additional 1 to 2 inches through Wednesday night. This is the main reason we have issued a Flash flood watch for portions of North and Central GA. There is some low CAPE developing this afternoon but shear params continue to remain limited. With this in mind we are still not expecting and strong to severe storms with this system. Temps still expected to stay a bit on the warm side tonight and Wednesday with lows in the 40s and 50s and highs in the 50s and 60s. slightly cooler air moves into N GA Wed night behind the frontal boundary with lows expected in the 30 and 40s. 01 LONG TERM /Thursday through Tuesday/... Same story, different day. Rounds of on and off rain provided by multiple frontal passages in combination with several upper level disturbances will move through the area within the long term period. Mid-level zonal flow with short-wave surface perturbations will bring a round of rain to the area ahead of an approaching cold front at the start of the forecast period on Thursday. As the trough digs in behind the front, there is the possibility of wintry mix across portions of north Georgia Thursday night, especially across the higher elevations. Some light accumulations cannot be ruled out and amounts could change closer to the event. The front should exit the CWA on Friday which will give a brief reprieve from the rain on Saturday with slight upper level ridging and a surface high building in over the SE. SW mid and upper level flow will return on Sunday evening with a surface low developing on Monday over the Great Plains region, with precipitation expected to return mid week ahead of another cold front. High temperatures will run 10-20 degrees below normal on Thursday through Sunday. Morgan && .AVIATION... 00Z Update... A few breaks in the IFR/LIFR around the ATL metro possible for the next couple of hours, but do expect CIGs to fill back into IFR by 03Z. Some patchy LIFR is possible. A cold front will move through overnight, and some improvement in CIGs is possible right around 12Z WED. Very light surface winds right now, with convection influencing some of the directions. Should be a switch over to the SW side by 02-03Z, with speeds of 5kt or less. Winds should switch around to the E late tomorrow as a wedge builds in. Thunder is possible for the next couple of hours. //ATL Confidence...00Z Update... Med confidence. NListemaa && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
