.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 258 PM EDT Tue Jun 8 2021/

SHORT TERM /Tonight through Wednesday Night/...

The upper level low slowly weakens as it shifts east across the
southern Ohio Valley through the forecast period, while the
southeast remains on the west side of surface high pressure. This
pattern will keep good moisture across the area with PWATs of
1.5-2 inches this afternoon and again tomorrow. With mostly sunny
skies expect the diurnally driven convection to increase in
coverage through early this evening and wind down after sunset.
Overnight low clouds will develop across the area by sunrise,
however do not expect that they will linger as long as they did
yesterday or today. With good heating tomorrow, the better chances
for convection will be across north Georgia in proximity to the
upper low. Have stayed close to guidance temperatures through the
period.

Atwell

LONG TERM /Thursday through Tuesday/...

An abnormally moist extended period is begrudgingly expected for
the forecast area as PWATs should run between 1.5-2 inches until
early next week. This is roughly a quarter to three quarters above
the climatological average for this time of year as the Bermuda
High over the Atlantic advects the tropical Gulf airmass over the
eastern CONUS. This invasive warm, moist airmass will litter the
forecast area in scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms
each day through the extended. Higher chances will be likely in
North Georgia through the end of the week with as a little added
support from a weak mid-level trough before it kicks out over the
weekend. Highs will remain in the upper 80s and low 90s, with
morning lows capped by dewpoints around 70 degrees with patchy fog
possible anywhere rain fell the day before.

.AVIATION...
00Z Update...
Scattered storms are underway across north and central GA this
evening. Have a TEMPO for all sites until 02z for TSRA with gusts
of 20-30 kts possible. The SHRA and TSRA should largely come to
end by 06z with winds becoming calm to light and variable
overnight. Will likely see a period of MVFR cigs between 08z and
13z at KATL, other metro sites, and AHN with periods of IFR cigs
possible. After 16z Wednesday, winds will become SW at 5-8 kts.

//ATL Confidence...00Z Update...
Medium confidence on timing and coverage of IFR cigs in the
morning. Medium to high confidence on all other elements.
