...18Z Aviation Discussion...

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 1145 AM EDT Sun Oct 11 2020/

Morning Update...

UPDATE...

A line of moderate showers are sweeping through the forecast area
with an additional unwanted burst of rain moving from northwest
to northeast Georgia. Some other residual light showers and
drizzle will be possible through the rest of the day with coverage
decreasing after sunset tonight. Temps and Pops have been
adjusted for the rest of the afternoon and evening with highs in
the low 70s expected for areas along and northwest of the I-85
corridor, with highs in the mid-80s where cloud cover is not as
dense in the southeastern portions of the forecast area.

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 740 AM EDT Sun Oct 11 2020/

SHORT TERM /Today through Monday/...

Abundant moisture from the remnants of Delta will continue to stream
over the southern Appalachians and surrounding areas through the
weekend. Short term models have a good handle on the remnants of
Delta with satellite and radar loops showing Delta spinning across
portion of northern Alabama and short term models show the upper
level wave opening through the day as it lifts into the Tennessee
valley by this evening and into the Carolinas by tomorrow morning.
The surface low also weakens as it shifts over the Carolinas by
tomorrow evening. HI-RES models continue to show off and on
showers as the weakened rain bands move across the area today.
Likely POPs through this afternoon across much of north and
portions of Central Georgia will give way to Chance to slight
chance with much of the rain tapering off shortly after midnight.
Additional rainfall totals for today will mainly be in the one-
half inch to near an inch in the northeast mountains with locally
higher values possible. With these updated rainfall totals will
cancel the Flash Flood Watch, although Flash Flood Warnings [see
FFWFFC for more information] and an Areal Flood Warning [see
FLWFFC for more information] remaining in effect through mid
morning. Stayed close to guidance temperatures with near normal
high today giving way to above normal lows and afternoon highs
tomorrow.

Atwell

LONG TERM /Monday Night through Saturday/...
Drier air will move into the area with a cold front expected to
move across the forecast area on Tuesday. Drier high pressure
will settle in behind the front through Thursday, with another
cold front approaching from the northwest early Friday. There are
some discrepancies noted in the timing and amount of moisture
associated with the next system, so have kept POPs mainly across
north Georgia and in the low chance category. Guidance
temperatures showing warmer than normal temperatures through the
work week with a cooling trend by Friday through the weekend.
Temperatures are expected to be at least 10 degrees cooler than
normal through the weekend.
