Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 2:36 PM EDT, 2 hours 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 236 PM EDT Tue Jun 9 2020 .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Wednesday Night/... Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms this afternoon are expected to diminish this evening with the loss of daytime heating. With all the available moisture around, some lingering chances will continue through the night over N GA. A cold front approaches the area on Wednesday and will move to central GA overnight. That will allow for another round of showers and storms to develop Wednesday and Wednesday night. A few storms could be severe with damaging winds as the main hazard and some large hail will also be possible. Forecast low temperatures are running about 5 to 13 degrees above normal across the area tonight and near normal to about 8 degrees above normal Wednesday night. Forecast high temperatures are running within about 3 degrees of normal for Wednesday. Overall confidence is Medium to high. BDL .LONG TERM /Thursday through Tuesday/... No major changes made to the extended forecast. A cold front will bring showers and thunderstorms to central Georgia Wednesday night and continue across eastern and southern portions of the state Thursday. With some lingering CAPE values in in the 1000 to 2000 J/KG range, there is the chance of a few strong thunderstorms to form thursday afternoon as the front stalls. A stationary front will linger along the coast, maintaining a diurnally driven chance for showers and thunderstorms into the weekend. After the front moves out, afternoon storms should be switched off by the dry air in place over north and central Georgia this weekend and into early next week. Dewpoints drop significantly behind the front from the 70s into the 50s and low 60s across the CWA on Thursday. Temperatures will be moderated to near normal by the time the weekend rolls around. Another front toward the end of the weekend will reinforce the dry air. Given high pressure in place and northwest flow, precip with this front is pretty unlikely. Vaughn/01 && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... MVFR-VFR ceilings becoming all VFR but with showers and thunderstorms increasing and diminishing this evening. Increasing potential for MVFR then IFR ceilings late tonight and early Wednesday, eventually improving to VFR with another round of showers and storms. Surface winds SSW 10 kts or less becoming light overnight then near 10 kts during the day Wednesday. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Medium to high confidence for winds. Low to Medium confidence on all other elements. BDL && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
