Area forecast discussion, Jun 15, 3:36 PM EDT, 2 hours 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 336 PM EDT Mon Jun 15 2020 .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Tuesday Night/... Upper closed low centered over the Southern Appalachians will continue to drift southeast toward the Atlantic Coast during the short term. This will combine with a continuous easterly flow at low levels...resulting in scattered showers and thunderstorms each afternoon and evening. Cold temperatures aloft this afternoon could produce some isolated strong to severe thunderstorms with hail and damaging winds. With easterly upslope flow...some stratus is possible across much of the area toward morning. Increased cloudiness could moderate high temperatures on Tuesday...but potential remains to reach warmer highs with breaks in clouds 41 .LONG TERM /Wednesday through Monday/... An upper level cutoff low will finally begin to lift north on Wednesday taking with it some of the cooler than average temperatures with it. On the backside of the low as it lifts north, there will be a chance for afternoon thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday primarily across NE Georgia. Temperatures will lift out of the low to mid 80s on Thursday and head into the 90s by the weekend. As ridging takes control of the area, dry air will be filtered in limiting the dewpoints going into the weekend to the mid to low 60s across the area. Drier air with a WNW flow should limit afternoon convection as well. Early next week an upper level low, centered over the southern great lakes, will bring a cold front sweeping through. As the high to our east begins to break down, boundary level moisture will increase. This moisture return combined with daytime heating could present an environment favorable for some stormy weather. Given the current uncertainty in the timing presented by the models it's still too far out to say where these storms will form and with what intensity. Vaughn && AVIATION... 18Z Update... VFR this afternoon with scattered showers and thunderstorms possible at all sites. Storms diminishing during the evening. MVFR stratus possibly affecting all taf sites 09z-14z...then gradually improving to VFR during Tuesday morning. Expect another chance for afternoon and evening thunderstorms on Tuesday. Winds remain easterly through the period. //ATL Confidence... 18Z Update... Medium on to high on Tuesday morning stratus. High on all other elements. 41 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
