Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 3:51 PM EDT, 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 351 PM EDT Fri Jun 11 2021 .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/... Convection has become more widespread as expected given the daytime heating destabilization coupled with the PVA along the southern extent of the persistent upper low. Given the marginal instability and weakly sheared env, thinking most development will stay as general thunder intensity though a few have shown some strong outflows and cannot rule out isolated severe. Overnight we should expect some isolated showers or thunderstorms and possible patchy fog in the morning from any spots having received heavier precip. For Saturday have confined likely pops to mainly central GA with decreased chances to the north and west as main trough axis and deeper moisture gets a bit farther push SE. Temps Saturday afternoon look to moderate about 5 deg warmer than today in much of the north and parts of the west given overall less convective coverage and some drier mid/upper level columns advecting southward. Baker && .LONG TERM /Sunday through Friday/... A "cold" front will enter our CWA on Sunday, but given the abundant moisture across the SE, it will take until Monday for the mid and lower levels to dry out. When it finally does though, northern Georgia will see some relief from the humidity for a few days with minimum RH values dropping into the low 40s and upper 30s by Wednesday as NW flow dominates the long term. The same can't be said about south and central Georgia as the humidity returns to the area toward the late part of the next week. Afternoon thunderstorms will likely stay south of Macon as warm humid air gets pushed up from the gulf again on Thursday. This warm moist air will be driven by a potential tropical disturbance. Both the EURO and the GFS are indicating that conditions could be favorable to fire up the tropics, but given how far out the forecast is there is still a great deal of uncertainty. Regardless of development or not, the dry spell will likely be broken late next week as the flow becomes more southerly. Vaughn && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... Some lingering high end MVFR to low end VFR stratocu at 2500-3500 ft this afternoon with scattered showers and thunderstorms with greatest chance generally now through 00z. Any TSRA could have VRB gusts or 3-4SM vsbys. Some lingering showers or isolated storms could persist this evening or overnight. MVFR cigs should return after about 08z tonight for most sites. Showers and thunderstorm chances pick up again tomorrow but should be overall a bit less coverage. Winds mainly out of SW to west 8-10 kts this afternoon, decreasing some overnight then NW 6-9 kts for Saturday. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Medium on overnight precip coverage/potential. High on all else. Baker && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
