Area forecast discussion, Oct 11, 3:11 PM EDT, 3 hours 56 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
311 PM EDT Sun Oct 11 2020

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Monday Night/...

An abundance of dry air exists aloft above 700 hPa, but we will have
a hard time reaching it for the next 24 hours because in the wake of
the remnants of Delta, ample low-level moisture is in place
throughout the forecast area. In the upper-levels, a weak shortwave
that swept Delta to the northeast, is still hovering over the area
and providing some weak lift to the low-levels which is creating a
widespread swath of light showers and drizzle across the region. As
the evening goes on the forcing for these showers should wane but
with coverage as far west as the AL/MS boarder it's a bit unclear at
what time these showers should move out. Overnight areas of fog and
low-level clouds should develop. With the overnight rains the
dewpoints should be in the upper 60s, with very low dewpoint
depressions. The scale and thickness of the fog will likely depend
on when the rain showers dissipate from the area.

Tomorrow, the thicker low-level clouds should clear by the afternoon
as the moist airmass begins to move out and a small pocket of PWATS
under an inch move through. However, the more significant dry air
mass will begin to move in at the very end of the short term as a
frontal system moves through very early Tuesday morning with PWATS
near 0.25 inches behind it.

Thiem

.LONG TERM /Tuesday through Sunday/...

The long term period begins with a weak front pushing into north GA
by Tuesday morning. Moisture looks limited so expecting mostly dry
conditions with the front. With a general west to northwest flow
aloft we can look for dry and warm weather through the end of the
week. Another front is expected Thursday night into Friday as a long
wave trough deepens from the Great Lakes into the Gulf. GFS and
ECMWF in good agreement on the overall pattern through the period.
Not much moisture with this front but there may be a slight chance
for some showers across the far north Thursday night and Friday.
Some cooler temperatures are in store for the weekend.

AVIATION...
18Z Update...
Widespread shallow -SHRA to continue through the afternoon at all
sights before dissipating between 22-04Z. Ample moisture will
spark areas of BR/FG and lowered CIGS dropping to IFR around 3-5Z,
and LIFR around 7Z at ATL sites. IFR to LIFR also expected at
other TAF sites between 8-14Z. All sites expected to see
improvement to IFR by 14Z, then MVFR by 16Z, and VFR by 18Z. Winds
out of the WSW up to 10 kts with Ocnl gusts to 15kt, becoming
light to calm overnight.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
Medium on timing of SHRA, timing of CIGS, and VSBYs.
High on all other elements.
