...Afternoon Area Forecast Discussion...

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Wednesday Night/...
No significant weather impacts or forecast concerns expected
through the short term period.

Moist pattern with SWly flow aloft and upper low to the west
initially over western KS expected to continue moving slowly east.
Tropical plume of deep moisture extending back to the Caribbean
sea still funneling into AL and western GA. As upper trough
approaches, this plume will shift east into the state by late Wed
night but more so on Thurs.

So far, based on observed trends, convection moving north over SW
GA should reach our SW counties before 6 PM and work its way
north into the ATL metro maybe 9-10 PM, gradually
weakening/dissipating around midnight.

SHRA/TSRA coverage will increase Wed compared with this evening's
only 20-40% expected coverage but more so over Wrn GA closer to
deep moisture. As mentioned earlier, heavy rain should hold off
until Thurs but could see over an inch or two over western
counties Wed.

SNELSON

.LONG TERM /Thursday through Tuesday/...
A cold front will be ushered into the area at the start of the
forecast period on Thursday as an upper low pushes eastward into
the mid-Mississippi Valley. Widespread showers and thunderstorms
will be on the increase during the day Thursday as the amplifying
low/trough shifts eastward. As low-level wind fields increase, the
threat for strong to possibly severe thunderstorms will also
increase through by Thursday afternoon. The potential limiting
factor would be instability given possible widespread cloud cover.
Even so, a severe threat will exist on Thursday. Additionally,
heavy rainfall may lead to localized flooding concerns, especially
if additional preceding areas of locally heavy rainfall occur
over the next day or so ahead of this system and contribute to
antecedent elevated stream levels and saturated soils.

Showers and storms will gradually end from west to east Thursday
night into Friday morning as the front pushes eastward. Behind this
system, drier conditions will return for the weekend with lower
humidity and initially slightly cooler temperatures. Temperatures
will begin to warm by late weekend into early next week as ridging
prevails.

VFR conditions expected thru around 09Z tonight when IFR stratus
develops. SHRA/TSRA should remain very isold this afternoon but
expected to spread from the south after 00Z, reaching ATL metro
airports around 01-04Z. Confidence in coverage and timing of TSRA
relatively low however. IFR/low MVFR cigs likely to persist into
the early afternoon but could break earlier if overnight precip
does not materialize. Light SW sfc winds will become SE 4-6kts
after 21Z then E after 00Z then increasing to 8-12kts after 09Z.
