Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
307 PM EDT Fri Jul 15 2022

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/...

The short term forecast will be characterized by at least two more
"drier" Georgia summer days. With a front boundary bisecting the
FA sufficient moisture will continue to be locked in across the
southern portions of the CWA with drier air congregated across
north GA. This will result in isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms this afternoon primarily along and south of I-20.

South to southwesterly surface flow south of the stalled boundary
will continue to transport moisture across the area. As a result
the The atmospheric column will continue to be saturated with PWs
nearly 2 inches and surface dew point temperatures in the mid
70s. During the rest of the afternoon/evening, aided by influence
from the weak front and weak disturbances rounding the upper
ridge to our west and the trough aloft and differential heating
chance PoPs continue to look reasonable. This afternoon the HREF
has the area painted with over 1000 J/kg of MUCAPE. All of this to
say that yet again we could see a few isolated storms become
strong to severe. CAMs continue to do poorly in this environment,
but in general they show they storms continuing across the far
southern portions of the FA and primarily staying south of I-20.
With very little steering flow aloft and high PWs storms will also
be capable of producing heavy rain and localized flooding.

Tomorrow will be very similar to today with an increase seen in
PoP coverage. Todays stalled front will dissolve overnight
allowing southerly flow to return to the entire Peach State. This
will advect moisture further north and again aided by influence
from weak disturbances rounding the upper ridge to our west and
the trough aloft along with differential heating slight chance to
chance PoPs continue in the forecast.

Temperatures will continue to run in the upper 80s and low 90s
each day with lows only falling into the 70s.

.LONG TERM /Sunday through Friday/...

Relatively active convective pattern expected thru the period.
Some tropical moisture looks to advect into part of the area by
Sunday and an upper disturbance will approach the area by Monday
allowing for some more widespread chances of showers and storms.
The upper wave looks to have some dampening Tuesday and Wednesday
as it pushes eastward across the area and the other main trough
energy loses phase ejecting NEWD, though some of the enhanced
moisture field lingers so will maintain mainly chance pops.
Another piece of upper energy looks to translate a sfc front
toward the area from the NW for Thursday so have most of the area
in likely pops and progged SBCAPE looks increased as well with
high PWATs so there could be a bit more organized or stronger
convection with strong to damaging winds and hail that day.
Otherwise cannot rule out some strong to isolated severe storms
the rest of the days with a bit more limited marginal instability.
Friday may have some frontal progression southward and could trend
to lower pops in the north. Max temps generally near to slightly
above normal thru the period.

.AVIATION...
18Z Update...
VFR conditions expected through the period at most TAF sites.
MCN/CSG could see MVFR/IFR in patchy fog tomorrow early morning
with improvements expected by 15Z tomorrow. TSRA will likely only
impact CSG/MCN between 20-00Z. There is an outside chance that the
ATL metro sites could see some very isolated convection, but
confidence remains too low to include it in this forecast. NE
winds will remain light at 5 kts or less through 06Z and then
shift to the south at 5 kts or less.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
Medium on TSRA and low CIG development and timing.
High on all other elements
