Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
1237 AM EST Wed Feb 19 2020

...06Z Aviation Forecast Discussion...

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 920 PM EST Tue Feb 18 2020/

UPDATE...
Frontal boundary is currently across central AL with a warm front
cross central GA. A wave of low pressure has developed along the
front and will continue to push NE overnight. The front will slowly
push southward overnight with widespread rainfall beginning to taper
off around or just after 12Z for northern portions of GA. Have made
some tweaks to the pops, as the hi-res models have played catch up
all evening. Otherwise, no major changes. No changes to the Flash
Flood Watch needed either.

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.
