Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
339 PM EDT Mon Jun 8 2020

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Tuesday Night/...
Main concerns in the short term period are chances and coverage
of convection and will there be any isolated flooding from
rain bands.

PW values thru Tues night fairly high but not extreme, 1.75-1.90
inches, above average but not near 99th percentiles for this time
year as is expected to our west. While our average QPF for this
and more so Tues afternoon/evening are only 0.25-0.50 where rain
occurs, isolated spots could see 1-2 in/hr rates, with 1-2 in
totals perhaps more. Not expecting any flooding with even those
kinds of numbers, but there could be drainage issues in urban
areas.

Otherwise, convection could be strong Tues with gusty winds and
frequent lightning. Storms so far today have not been to intense
and forecast SBCAPE not expected to be much higher than today.
Will continue to monitor.

Raised min temps tonight a bit, perhaps not enough, based on very
rich moisture and observed biases from last night.

SNELSON

.LONG TERM /Wednesday through Monday/...
An incoming cold front on Wednesday will enhance convective
coverage, especially by afternoon as instability increases with
daytime heating. Afternoon MUCAPE values in excess of 1500-2000 J/kg
will lead to some potential for more robust thunderstorm
development, though shear will be limited. Given some damaging wind
threat, a Marginal Risk for severe thunderstorm encompasses much of
the area on Wednesday.

The cold front will begin to clear parts of north Georgia from
Wednesday night into Thursday morning, ushering in a noticeably
drier airmass. Dewpoints drop from the 70s to the 50s and low 60s
behind the front through the day Thursday across northern and
western Georgia. The front will lose forward momentum somewhere
across southeast Georgia on Thursday which will sustain the chance
for scattered showers and thunderstorms in play across southeastern
portions of the area. The stationary front will then linger across
southeast Georgia into the Georgia Coastal Plain into the weekend,
keeping at least chance PoPs relegated to the southeast zones. A
secondary weak front by Sunday appears mostly dry at this time with
a reinforcement of drier air in north Georgia.

Temperatures behind the midweek front will run largely near normal
through the coming weekend.
