Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
244 PM EDT Mon Aug 3 2020

.SHORT TERM /Today through Wednesday/...

Showers and thunderstorms, some strong to severe and associated with
a stationary front, instability axis and SW upper level flow ahead
of an upper level trough, are expected to diminish this evening.

The stationary front is expected to dissipate tonight as another
weak cold front approaches and moves into the area Tuesday.
The upper level trough looks to be less dynamic on Tuesday so the
highly diurnal convection should be less strong than today with less
overall coverage and is expected to dissipate Tuesday evening.

Forecast temperatures are expected to be within a few degrees of
normal through Tuesday Night.

BDL

.LONG TERM /Wednesday Night through Sunday/...

As Isaias works its way up the coast the synoptic scale holds a deep
trough through the southeast with an upper level low across the
northern great lakes. We start the long term forecast in the exit
zone of the trough which will reinforce diurnal convective pattern
on Wednesday and Thursday. As the low is lifted north the trough
begins to flatten out and we slowly work our way back toward a near
zonal pattern by the weekend. Afternoon thunderstorms are likely
every day this week as the pattern keeps sufficient moisture all the
way up through the mid layers.

We remain around seasonal in terms of temperatures. With upper 80s
and lower 90s across most of the area. Temperatures begin to edge up
again going into the weekend with widespread low to mid 90s as the
flow breaks down and ridging returns. Heat indices will begin to
climb as well with widespread low 100s across the CWA, although
cooler conditions are expected at higher elevations.
