Area forecast discussion, Jun 22, 2:43 PM EDT, 3 hours 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 243 PM EDT Mon Jun 22 2020 .SHORT TERM /Today through Wednesday/... Current radar loop shows showers and thunderstorms popping across the area as a frontal system nears the area. The main low pressure center is developing along the MO/IL/IA border with its trailing cold front pushing through the Mid to Lower MS river valley. Moist southwesterly flow ahead of the front is pushing a few weak waves across the state and with daytime heating we are seeing showers and thunderstorms. With a moist environment and good heating, instabilities are also increasing. Seeing MUCapes hovering around 1500 to 2500 and Low Level lapse rates in the 7.5 to 8.5 range. Combined with PWs in the 1.5 to 1.7in range we will see some strong to severe showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening and continuing again Tuesday afternoon and evening. The main hazards continue to be being gusty winds, frequent lightning, and periods of heavy rain with these storms. There is very little in the way of shear in this atmosphere so not looking for much in the way of a tornado threat. This pattern is expected to continue through the middle of the week. With precip chances increasing through the week, daytime high temps will only get up into the 80s to near 90. This is just a bit cooler than the past few days. 01 .LONG TERM /Wednesday Night through Sunday/... A cold front will begin moving through the area on Wednesday increasing the coverage for showers and thunderstorms especially in the afternoon and evening. The trough will take it's time moving through the area causing a chance for showers and thunderstorms to linger until the weekend. Given PW values out ahead of the front around 2 inches, storms that do form have the potential to produce heavy rain at times. The front should help to marginalize temperatures, keeping them in the low to mid 80s before the ridge builds in again for the weekend. As the front moves out, high pressure builds in the Atlantic and we immediately roll back into southerly flow increasing both temp and dewpoints this weekend. Afternoon showers and thunderstorms will return as daytime heating initiates convection. Highs this weekend will range from the upper 80s up north to the mid 90s down in central Georgia. Vaughn && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... Showers and isolated thunderstorms popping up across the area. Ceilings and VSBYs are still VFR but will see some brief MVFR conditions as stronger storms develop this afternoon and move across the TAF sites. These showers will continue through the evening hours then diminish some overnight. Expecting a repeat Tuesday with more afternoon and evening SHRA/TSRA. Winds will stay mainly out of the SW at 10kt or less but will see some variable gust to 20kt in and around convective activity. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Confidence medium to high on all elements. 01 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
