.UPDATE...
Tornado watch has expired. Expanded the Flash Flood Watch to
include portions of north and north central Georgia.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 749 PM EDT Sat Oct 10 2020/

UPDATE...
Strong band of thunderstorms continues to move across the metro
ATl area this evening. Conditions remain conducive for brief
tornadoes to form along this line as shear remains fairly high for
the next several hours. Tweaked pops earlier to reflect current
conditions and any additional waves overnight.

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 328 PM EDT Sat Oct 10 2020/

SHORT TERM /Tonight through Sunday Night/...

Tropical Depression Delta was located over western MS this
afternoon and should track northeastward overnight...arriving
over the southern Appalachians as an open wave Sunday morning.
The surface warm front appears to have moved into north GA except
for the far northern counties where easterly winds and some patchy
fog persist. Continued southerly flow of moist unstable air
should produce periods of showers and a few thunderstorms through
much of the afternoon and overnight. The best chance for strong
storms appears to be through 01z and a portion of north and west
GA is under a Tornado Watch until then. Best pops remain over
north GA on Sunday as the remains of Delta pass across the area.
So the FFA will remain in place until Sunday evening. Storm totals
range form two to four inches in the watch area with lesser
amounts elsewhere.

41

LONG TERM /Monday through Saturday/...

By Monday, the remnants of Hurricane Delta will be pushed out of the
area with primarily dry and mostly sunny days expected through the
long term forecast. While dry air will have moved in with in the
upper-levels, ample moisture will remain near the ground with the
aftermath of the rain system. With an upper-level trough over the
upper Mississippi River Valley bringing positive differential
vorticity advection over the area by Monday morning, light lift could
produce some shallow light showers and drizzle Monday morning, but
chances of accumulating rain is low for any given area at the
moment.

As the upper-level trough passes trough the Eastern CONUS, it'll
bring with it a cold front that's expected to move through the
forecast area Monday night through Tuesday morning, with lows
dropping into the 50s Tuesday night; low 50s for North Georgia, and
upper 50s for Central Georgia. The frontal passage is expected to be
mostly dry but an outside chance for some showers are possible for
far North Georgia. Behind the front a strong, continental high
pressure will move into the region. From then on, quasi-zonal
conditions will setup for several day until our next upper-level
wave moves through on Friday with another strong cold front. Again,
this front is mostly expected to be dry but the moisture with this
system is trending upwards so slight chance Pops have been added to
the forecast. Afterwards highs around 80 for the metro for most of
the week should drop to around 70 on Friday afternoon.

AVIATION...
00Z Update...
Strong line of storms continues to impact the ATL area. Hi res
models do show a break in the convection for a few hours after
4-5Z, but another wave is possible towards 12Z. Winds remain on
the east side overnight and through the early afternoon tomorrow
but a wind shift to the sw is anticipated in the mid afternoon.
