Area forecast discussion, Apr 6, 3:01 PM EDT, 0 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 301 PM EDT Wed Apr 6 2022 ...Afternoon Area Forecast Discussion... .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Thursday Night/... No major changes to thinking in the short term forecast, so have included very in-depth previous discussion from Thiem. Mesoanalysis shows very saturated environment under FEW/SCT cloud deck, allowing for ample insolation with temps climbing into the 80s, with Tds in the 70s. This sets the stage with SBCAPE values 3000+ j/kg, ample instability for any storms that fire, in tandem with impressive mid- lvl lapse rates and mid-lvl flow. Current hazards for central Georgia remain large hail, gusty to damaging winds from downbursts, tornadoes and bouts of heavy rain. Stratus and Fog remain resilient over N GA, with metro Atlanta seeing cloud decks as low as 1000ft, with FG/DZ and lowered visibilities just now lifting, hindering CAPE development. This has setup a pseudo-front along the I-20 corridor with large temp disparity. However, looking to this evening, although CAMS have been all over the place in spatial coverage and timing of frontal passage. However, severe weather potential for N GA remains on track with some form of a QLCS to enter NW GA by 23-02z. As mentioned, see previous discussion for additional info: Morgan Previous Short Term Discussion Below... One Enhanced Risk Severe Weather Outlook down, one more to go! Despite a strong quasi-linear convective system sweeping through the forecast area today, with widespread reports of wind damage and over a dozen noted tornadic debris signatures, the area remains in a general warm sector regime with abundant low-level warmth and moisture. In the mid-layers (500-700 hPA), very dry air was left behind following the storm system, which is helping to keep scattered light sprinkles/showers from growing more upscale, however, by noon broad southwesterly flow will increase moisture in these levels as well and boosting PWATs from near an inch in this morning's special 06Z sounding to back over an inch and a half by the afternoon for Central Georgia, setting the stage for another potential round of severe weather. Central Georgia, this afternoon into the early evening... Abundant moisture return by the afternoon in the low- to mid-levels, is going to be timed with a northward moving coastal, baroclinic boundary and a very weak mid-level shortwave trough. This setup will result in a rather abnormal setup for severe weather for this region, but one that has worrisome combination of severe parameters: * A weak shortwave will provide lower-level lift across the region, which will act as a trigger mechanism for convective development and will cool the mid-levels between 500-700 hPa, creating lapse rates near 7 C/km. * With zonal-flow in place in the mid-levels with the rapid invasion of the shortwave later in the afternoon, offsetting effects of advection warmer mid-level air won't be as present as they otherwise would in a more classic Southeastern SVR setup. * Cooling in the mid-levels, combined with warm and very moist air advecting in off the Gulf will create surface-based CAPE values between 2000-3000 J/kg this afternoon. * In general, wind profiles aloft are rather weak (0-6 km shear values are below 30 kts) due to the weak nature of the shortwave likely resulting in shorter-lived, popcorn-like cells that collapse on themselves after approx an hour with very little wind shear between 2-6 km. * However, in the lowest 2 km, wind shear is decent with quarter- circle hodographs providing good streamwise vorticity into developing right-moving storms and increasing the potential for rotating thunderstorms and spin-up circulations. The result of all this in an environment in Central Georgia this afternoon with no strong organizing trigger mechanism typical for a more organized severe thunderstorm development, although mesoscale boundaries or bands may change this. However, the parameters are good for shorter-lived (1-2 hours) storms capable of large hail and rapidly developing short-lived tornadic circulations. This threat followed by cooler, drier air in the mid-levels allowing evaporative cooling which combined with water loading will present downburst/microburst potential as storm updrafts collapse. Additionally, with 1-3 inches of rain previously fallen, a flooding threat will be present anywhere heavier rain persists for prolonged periods of time. North Georgia, this evening into the overnight hours... In north Georgia, a strong cold front from a more organized synoptic system is expected to surge into for northwest Georgia just before sunset. This will provide a stout triggering mechanism for storm development, with stronger winds aloft more supportive of longer-lived supercell development. The dynamics for north Georgia during this time is everything that's missing for Central Georgia during the afternoon. However, despite the better dynamics the thermodynamics are more lacking. * The moisture return for north Georgia will be less abundant resulting in PWATs just above an inch for the area, likely resulting in convective storms struggling to become more robust. * Storms in the south earlier in the day may rob some surface-based instability in the region. With that said, forecast values of surface-based CAPE are still expected to be above 2000 J/kg, but begin falling after 6 PM. * The timing of the cold front may keep storms elevated after 8 PM, limiting severe potential. * With these factors in mind, low-level wind profiles are much more favorable to tornadic supercells if they can overcome the drier air aloft. Hodographs show sickle-cell structures through 4-6 km, with decent, but not perfect, storm-relative streamwise vorticity. * Dry air in the mid levels, could cause strong evaporative cooling fueled downbursts in any robust storms that do form. These winds combined with the storm motion could create several instances of damaging wind gusts. All in all, please stay aware of any watches or warnings issued for your area through the day and into tonight. Please have a plan of action ready in case it is needed. Following the cold front tonight, more tranquil weather is in store with clearing skies, breezy NW winds, and highs generally in the 60s by Thursday. Thiem .LONG TERM /Friday through Wednesday/... Anomalous temperatures still on track for the weekend. Temps should begin to slowly moderate towards normal on Sunday. Friday and Saturday night's lows should be 5 to 15 degrees below normal. Saturday's highs will range from 15 to 25 degrees below normal for this time of year. Frost/Freeze products will likely be needed Friday night and Saturday night. Previous Long Term Discussion Below... The impressive, expansive upper trough that fueled our final round of active weather continues to dig further down across the southeast, with a tight pressure gradient on its outer edge (~20-22 mb difference across GA). As such, gusty gradient winds will be possible through Saturday afternoon when the trough begins to lift across the mid-Atlantic states. Several shortwave disturbances rounding the inner edge of the trough will lead to increased cloud cover and brief bursts of rain across north GA on Friday into Saturday. A surface high from over the Gulf and stout upper ridging break the active pattern as they settle in across the southeast on Sunday to round off the weekend and take us through the beginning of the work week. Temperatures will be quite cool for April standards following the cold frontal passage on Thursday night. Have added the potential for areas of frost on Sunday morning, when minimum temperatures are coolest and winds begin to calm. Highs will stall out in the mid-50s to 60s, 12-15 degrees below average; lows through the weekend will be in the 30s, about 5-10 degrees below average. As the surface high begins to drift across the southeast Sunday, winds shift to be primarily from the southeast, and temperatures recover to seasonable highs in the 70s-80s and lows in the 40s. 96 && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... Metro TAF sites socked in stubborn LIFR/IFR cigs, expecting gradual improvement through the afternoon as daytime mixing occurs. Have SHRA starting at 18z as precip overspreads the area along a shortwave, with low-end potential of TS, but confidence is too low at this time to include. TSRA will be possible again tonight after 00z as a cold front pushes through metro TAF sites. After frontal passage, winds turn NW by 08z tonight, remaining elevated between 9-13kts. Should go VFR cigs/vsbys tomorrow between 11-14z as drier air rushes in. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Low to medium on all elements Morgan && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
