Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
417 AM EST Thu Feb 20 2020

...Morning Area Forecast Discussion...

.SHORT TERM /Today through Friday/...

Rain is on the increase (again) this morning in association with an
approaching upper wave. Widespread rainfall will thus continue to
overspread the area through the day today. While total additional
QPF through tonight would be fairly unimpressive under normal
circumstances, very wet antecedent conditions will translate any
additional rainfall into runoff. With many waterways already in
flood or in an elevated state, a Flash Flood Watch will remain in
effect through today as the additional 1 to 2" rainfall totals will
lead to an elevated risk of additional flooding concerns.

Meanwhile, as a strong surface high settles into the Midwest,
gradual cold air advection will occur through this afternoon while
precipitation persists across the area. While temperatures remain
above freezing areawide at this hour, temperature profiles will
become supportive of wintry precipitation, primarily in the higher
elevations of the north Georgia mountains from midday and into the
afternoon hours. Profiles continue to support a rain/snow mix
transitioning to light snow in these areas, though a more mixed bag
perhaps including sleet pellets is possible at the onset. The more
significant accumulations are expected to remain limited to higher
elevations where 1-2" snowfall accumulations are forecast through
this evening with locally slightly higher totals possible. A Winter
Weather Advisory remains in effect for these locations through 1 AM
Friday where some roads could become slippery. At lower elevations,
brief light snowfall accumulations are possible, especially on
elevated and grassy surfaces, but warmer temperatures should
preclude more significant accumulations.

Precipitation will rapidly dwindle from north to south through the
evening. As colder air continues to quickly filter southward along
the back edge of the precipitation, a brief light/rain snow mix or
light snow shower would be possible as far south as the Atlanta
metro, but no impacts would occur. Overnight temperatures will drop
below freezing across north Georgia after precipitation has ended,
so patchy black ice would remain possible through Friday morning,
primarily on protected/lesser traveled routes.

Otherwise, high pressure will build southward through Friday,
finally bringing a dry respite and sunny skies on Friday. Highs
Friday will run 10-15 degrees below normal.

RW

.LONG TERM /Friday Night through Wednesday/...

Cool, clear, and calm conditions continue at the start of the long
term period. Lows saturday morning will dip into the mid-20s for the
forecast area before sunny skies bring us back into the mid-50s in
the afternoon. As the long term picture becomes clearer, trends are
quickly showing pleasant conditions continuing into Sunday as models
begin pushing the start of the next rain system back into the
work week.

As we get into early Monday morning, a mid-level trough is expected
to to sweeping through the Central Plains with an associated
surface cyclone moving through the Ozarks. A warm, moist conveyer
belt will then override a warm front extending from the surface low
pressure into the southeastern CONUS, bringing with it the
beginning of our next rain system. As the system progresses, precip
will remain in the forecast with the strongest round of showers and
possible thunderstorms on late Monday night onto Tuesday morning
ahead of a cold frontal passage moving through Tuesday morning and
afternoon. The forecast area will mostly dry out with residual mid-
and upper-level clouds cover with some light residual wrap-around
precip possible for North Georgia on Wednesday and Thursday,
primarily in the mountainous regions where orographic lifting of the
near-surface stable layer will help with generation of light precip.
Several model runs are hinting at possible light snow flurries with
these light precip showers but it remains to be seen if temperatures
to be cold enough for any flurries to make it to the surface. For
instance, the GFS is showing light snow at temps in the upper-30s.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of North and Central Georgia.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight...

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect today through 1 AM Friday
morning for the mountains of northeast and north central Georgia.

A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through this evening for
Central Georgia.

For North Georgia, a mixture of rain and wet snow is expected today
with a possible transition to all snow in the higher elevations of
the Georgia mountains later this afternoon. Snow accumulations up to
1 to 2 inches are possible within the Winter Weather Advisory, with
isolated higher amounts possible over 2000 feet. Tonight, wintry
precip will move out of the area as temperatures fall at or below
freezing, and patchy black ice is possible, especially over bridges
and overpasses, with any residual water left on the roadways.

Further south, soils remain very saturated and another one to two
inches of rain is expected to lead to heavy runoff and ponding in
low-lying areas and on roadways. In addition, many rivers are
currently at very high streamflows with additional rainfall
exacerbating the threat of flash flooding.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday...

No hazardous weather conditions expected at this time with the next
round of potentially heavy rainfall expected Sunday night through
Monday night.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not requested but spotters are encouraged
to submit reports of winter weather through the web by going to
weather.gov/atlanta.

...Wintry Mix Possible Primarily in Higher Elevations...

Rain will continue to overspread the area through the day today.
As colder air filters into north Georgia through this afternoon,
a transition to a mixture of rain and snow is possible. During the
afternoon hours, this mixture could briefly change to all snow
before quickly ending by mid-to-late afternoon.

Accumulations are expected to remain limited, generally a half
inch or less, though amounts up to an inch are possible at the
highest elevations of Dade and Walker counties. Also of concern is
the fact that temperatures will drop quickly Thursday night into
Friday morning. Any lingering moisture on the roadways during this
timeframe will result in black ice which could create additional
hazardous driving conditions.
