Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
402 AM EST Thu Mar 5 2020

.SHORT TERM /Today through Friday/...
Conditions across north and central Georgia today will be
characterized by an upper level shortwave disturbance and associated
surface low currently moving northeastward from the north-central
Gulf of Mexico towards the forecast area. Strong isentropic lift
ahead of this approaching system is producing a shield of widespread
precipitation focused over north Georgia as the short term period
begins. The surface low will move into the Florida Panhandle/south
Alabama this morning and continue into south Georgia by early
afternoon. With widespread precipitation ahead of the low,
categorical PoPs are expected to redevelop across the forecast area
by mid-morning and remain into the afternoon. The low pressure
system will then shift eastward towards the Atlantic Coast during
the afternoon hours today, with rain and thunderstorms expected to
diminish from east to west. Some trailing rain is expected to linger
on the backside of the low during the late afternoon and early
evening, so PoPs have been increased during the late afternoon and
evening. Precipitation associated with this low is expected to come
to an end by midnight.

Another 1 to 2 inches of rainfall is expected across much of the
forecast area today, with the exception of the far northern tier,
where less than an inch is expected. Rainfall amounts have been
trended slightly upwards from the WPC guidance, generally along and
to the immediate south of the I-20 corridor, in order to better
capture current radar observations and near-term trends. Because of
the additional rainfall forecast throughout the day and the
lingering rain anticipated behind the surface low in the afternoon,
the Flash Flood Watch continues over central and portions of north
Georgia and has been extended through 00Z Friday. The persistent
warm and moist airmass over the area will allow for sufficient
instability to support isolated thunderstorms across the forecast
area today, primarily across central Georgia. A strongly sheared
environment ahead of the approaching low, with low-level shear
values of 25-35 kts and deep-layer shear of 70-80 kts, will
furthermore allow for a few thunderstorms in our far southern tier
to become strong to marginally severe, capable of producing strong,
gusty winds. A brief tornado also cannot be ruled out with any
severe thunderstorms that occur.

Long-awaited relief from the rain is expected to arrive on Friday
morning. After the precipitation comes to an end, northwesterly
upper level flow will develop over the forecast area and surface
high pressure will begin to build in over the southeastern CONUS.
These conditions will lead to a cool and dry day on Friday, with
high temperatures about 6-10 degrees below climatological normals,
in the 50s and low 60s across north and central Georgia in the
afternoon. Breezy winds are possible throughout the day on Friday,
particularly in the afternoon hours, with northwesterly winds
anticipated to gust to 20-25 kts.

.LONG TERM /Friday Night through Wednesday/...
The first half of the extended portion of the forecast will be
dominated by high pressure and dry conditions. However, unsettled
weather returns for the latter half of the extended forecast. The
models are starting come into better agreement for the mid to late
week period.

The pressure gradient should begin to relax overnight Friday as a
strong low pressure continues to move off the Middle Atlantic coast
and high pressure builds in from the west. The high center will
meander overhead Saturday and then begin to push offshore for Sunday
into early Monday. The high moves further offshore on Tuesday as a
frontal system moves into the Lower Mississippi River Valley. The
flow ahead of the front will turn southerly off of the GOMEX and the
return of low level moisture is anticipated.

There isn't a lot of push for the front, and it should become more
east-west oriented by the middle of next week and oriented along
near the TN/NC/GA border and remain nearly stationary through the
end of the week. The boundary will tend to be the focus of
precipitation for mid to late next week.

.AVIATION... 06Z Update...

Widespread showers are ongoing across north Georgia and are
expected to redevelop over central Georgia by 12Z, and are
will continue until pushing eastward out of the forecast area
between 18Z and 00Z. Some isolated thunderstorms are also expected
throughout the day, with the greatest chances at CSG/MCN. VFR
ceilings are in place across all TAF sites and are anticipated to
lower to MVFR by 08-09Z, then IFR or lower by 12Z. IFR conditions
will then hold until until 20Z before steadily improving to VFR by
02Z. E to NE winds at 5-10 kts will increase 10-14 kts with gusts
up to 20 kts by 16Z, decreasing in magnitude and shifting to NW
around 02-03Z.

//ATL Confidence...06Z Update...

Medium confidence on all elements.
