Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
737 AM EDT Mon Aug 10 2020

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 336 AM EDT Mon Aug 10 2020/

SHORT TERM /Today through Tuesday/...
A stalled out frontal boundary was the initial impetus for
convection across North GA but NW flow transitioned the activity
quickly across Central GA where activity is finally dying out.
Have kept in low end pops for the remainder of the overnight period
as we continue to see some activity from time to time across North
GA at this hour.

Looks to be an active day across the area as a strong shortwave
moves through the Tennessee Valley and into North GA at the prime
heating hours. Although instability is not all that impressive in
the models, complex should be maintained as it progresses through
the forecast area. With precipitable water values around 2 inches
and aforementioned marginal instability, will go with likely pops
for the entire area. Scattered strong and isolated severe storms
will be likely with this activity.

Focus will shift to Central GA for Tuesday as shortwave energy
progresses past the northern portions. Still enough moisture and
instability for all areas to warrant at least low end chance pops
but 2.10 PW values over Central GA warrants continued high end
chance to low end likely values. With light flow and persistent
convection , will need to watch for localized flooding.

Generally 100 to 105 for heat indices through the short term and
focused on Central GA. Enough to make a mention in the HWO but no
advisories needed.

Deese

LONG TERM /Tuesday Night through Sunday/...
A somewhat typical summertime pattern will be in store for
the long term highly characterized by weak flow aloft and broad
weak surface high pressure with an embedded surface trough across
the area. The nature of the upper flow will allow for weak short
waves to move to the area that would enhance the chances for showers
and thunderstorms along with abundant moisture with daytime instability.
The shower and thunderstorm chances will favor the afternoon and
evening but not necessarily end at night.

The abundant moisture across the area will also lead to heat indices
in the 100 to 105 range for at least portions of north and central GA
through the weekend, with spotty heat indices of 105 to 110 on Wednesday.

.AVIATION...
12Z UPDATE...
Lowcigs and fog continues to affect MCN but should be on the wane
through daybreak. Increased moisture will allow for BKN cigs to
develop later today but remain VFR except in the vicinity of
thunderstorms. Another round of TSRA likely for all sites but
perhaps a later start as activity begins over far North GA and
translates south through the day. Winds to remain on the west side
and light at 10 kts or less.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...06Z UPDATE...
Medium on TSRA timing.
High on remaining elements.
