NWS Atlanta, GA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Jun 17, 7:57 PM EDT, 1 hour 42 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 17, 7:57 PM EDT, 1 hour 42 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 757 PM EDT Fri Jun 17 2022 .UPDATE... The first severe thunderstorm watch over much of far north Georgia has been expired as the boundary sinks south of the metro area. Meanwhile, numerous thunderstorms have become focused across east-central Georgia with a combination of diurnally-driven convective initiation and generation of new storms along outflow boundaries. Thunderstorms that develop have the capability of becoming strong to severe, capable of producing damaging wind gusts and hail, in addition to locally heavy rain and frequent lightning. A new severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for portions of east-central Georgia, mainly south and east of Hancock county. The existing heat advisory will be allowed to expired at 8 PM as planned. King Updated for the 00Z Aviation Discussion. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 409 PM EDT Fri Jun 17 2022/ UPDATE... Updated to remove a few counties behind the convective line. PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 255 PM EDT Fri Jun 17 2022/ SHORT TERM /Today through Sunday/... MCS is now moving through far NW GA. This system definitely has enough fuel to work with across north and central GA as the environment remains very favorable for strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. CAPES remain 4000-5000 J/kg and mid level lapse rates are 7-7.5 C/km. Shear remains low. Forecast soundings show a good inverted-V structure and with these steep lapse rates, the primary severe hazards will be damaging wind gusts and large hail. locally heavy rainfall and frequent lightning will also be possible. None of the hi-res models has a great handle on the MCS. Have re- structured pops to reflect current radar trends. Coverage and strength of the system may start decreasing with the loss of heating, so have kept the highest pops north of MCN-CSG. However, if the system keeps it's intensity/strength, pops will need to be raised within the southern third of the CWA later this evening. Will not make any changes to the current Heat Advisory. Some of the counties in the northern parts of the Advisory could possibly be cancelled early, if they receive rainfall. The drier air may not make it into the southern quarter of the CWA tomorrow, but it does look like most locales will not need another Heat Advisory. There are some spots that may get close to 105 degrees, so later shifts will have to monitor. NListemaa LONG TERM /Sunday Night through Thursday/... No changes made to the extended forecast. The first few days of the long term period will be characterized by an omega block centered on the CONUS. North and central Georgia will be positioned beneath northwesterly upper-level flow with surface high pressure in place across much of the Eastern CONUS thanks to subsidence aloft. The amplified upper-level pattern will erode heading into midweek as a series of shortwave troughs track across the northern tier of the country, but in the process, the upper-level ridge will become cut- off from the more progressive flow to the north and become quasi- stationary across much of the southern CONUS. All of this will lead to essentially zero PoPs and a sunny to mostly sunny sky through the period. The prolonged dry conditions mean that fire danger statement criteria (namely low relative humidity and finer fuel moisture) could be met for portions of the forecast area each day. Little to no rain area- wide plus excessive heat and evapotranspiration will likely exacerbate the abnormally dry (DO) and moderate drought (D1) conditions already in place across portions of central and eastern Georgia. On top of that... High temperatures alone (but more certainly heat indices) Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday could necessitate Heat Advisories across portions of the area. Martin/01 && .AVIATION... 00Z Update... The line of storms has moved south of the metro ATL sites, with TSRA moving into central Georgia. TSRA will remain possible at MCN/CSG for the next couple of hours, warranting a TEMPO for both sites. Outflow winds may furthermore lead to wind gusts of 30-35 kts during this time. Aside from any thunderstorms, conditions are expected to be VFR through the period. Another cu field between 040-050 is possible after 15-16Z on Saturday. Winds will be NW through the overnight period and through much of the daytime on Saturday, starting at 4-8 kts and increasing to 10-13 kts and frequent gusts up to 20-25 kts during the afternoon. Winds are anticipated to shift to NE Saturday night after 02Z. //ATL Confidence...00Z Update... Medium confidence on convective timing and coverage. High confidence on all other elements.
