Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
751 AM EDT Wed Mar 25 2020

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 345 AM EDT Wed Mar 25 2020/

SHORT TERM /Today through Thursday/...

The last in a series of short waves is moving through Central GA
at this hour, allowing for continued embedded thunderstorms within
a larger line of showers. Have kept in some higher pops for areas
along and south of a CSG to MCN line initially but a dry day
after that. Flow aloft remains zonal if not some slight ridging
behind this activity and will see temps reach the lower 70s across
North GA and lower 80s to the south.

Should be a rare dry short term period as high pressure over the
Ohio Valley transitions to the eastern seaboard and wedges on the
lee side of the Carolinas on Thu. This will keep temps down
slightly over the eastern tier Thu afternoon with temps struggling
to get out of the 60s. No such issues for Central GA as
temperatures reach the lower 80s for most of the area.

Deese

LONG TERM /Thursday Night through Tuesday/...

The long term period begins on Thursday night with a mid- and
upper-level ridge centered over the Southeast. The ridge will
persist through Friday and much of Saturday, bringing dry
conditions and a mostly to partly sunny sky. Southwesterly flow at
the mid- and upper levels will return on Saturday as an upper-
level trough and associated low pressure system organize across
the Great Plains. At the surface, a cold front will push through
North and Central Georgia late Saturday night through Sunday,
bringing showers across the CWA. Subtle timing differences among
the models remain, as the GFS is slightly quicker than the ECMWF
with the arrival of rain in northwestern Georgia. There are also
model discrepancies concerning how long showers/storms will
linger into Sunday afternoon. Given MUCAPE still forecast to be
around 1000 J/kg at most during the frontal passage, have
maintained a slight chance of thunder on Sunday.

Monday looks to be dry while the next system gets its act
together across the South Central states. Another upper-level
trough will impact the Southeast on Tuesday, though there are
differences in the timing and intensity of the system. The GFS
remains faster with a less-pronounced trough, while the ECMWF is
slower with a deeper trough. This translates to uncertainty
concerning the timing of rain on Tuesday, so went with chance PoPs
(~30%) for much of the CWA on Tuesday. Day 1-7 WPC QPF calls for
rainfall totals of 0.25 inch to 1 inch across Central Georgia, and
1 inch to 2.5 inches across North Georgia.

Highs will be around 5 to 15 degrees above average Friday through
Sunday, though portions of North Georgia could see highs closer
to average on Sunday given the cold front passage and associated
showers. For much of the CWA, highs will dip several degrees below
average on Monday and Tuesday. Lows will be around 10 to 20
degrees above average Friday through Sunday, then 5 to 10 degrees
above average for the first half of next week.

.AVIATION...
12Z UPDATE...

Line of SHRA has pushed south of all the terminals with just some
lingering IF and LIFR. This should be fairly temporary compared
to the last couple of days and should see MVFR at most sites by
14Z and VFR by 16Z. Winds have shifted to the west side and
should remain there for most of the TAF period. A shift to NE
however is anticipated for the overnight period Thu for ATL.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...12Z UPDATE...

Medium on IFR and LIFR duration.
High on remaining elements.
