Area forecast discussion, Aug 9, 3:46 PM EDT, 3 hours 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 346 PM EDT Tue Aug 9 2022 .SHORT TERM /Rest of today through Wednesday Night/... Majority of convection has been across parts of north GA, so that may bet a bit worked over, then focus farther southward. Outflow interactions could keep active as well going into this evening and still advertising some strong to few severe possible with strong to damaging winds, frequent lightning and locally heavy rain especially with slow movers or training. Not sure about low level stratus formation Wednesday morning but it could again occur and potentially lead to differential heating trends that either help focus early convective triggering near the edge or delay where cloud deck is more cohesive. Bermuda ridge shows little change east of the area for Wednesday and we stay in this similar high moisture airmass along with another decently diurnally unstable day near 2500 J/kg SBCAPE progged. Have very similar pops as well with mainly likely mention NW to chance SE. Given all this, we should also have similar storm intensity potential and threats as today. Max temps similar too with near to slightly below normal highs Wednesday and most areas reaching mid 80s to low 90s. Baker && .LONG TERM /Thursday through Tuesday/... Looks like we'll see a bit of a pattern change later this week and through the weekend. A deepening upper trough across the Eastern CONUS will help to push a frontal boundary through a good portion of the CWA Thursday through Friday resulting in another round of showers and storms. At this time the front looks to stall across southern GA closer to the GA/FL border. Thus PoPs will be higher in these areas. And thanks to some drier air behind the front dewpoints in the mid-60s, high temperatures in the mid-80s and lower PoPs can be expected through much of the weekend. In looking at next week, expect rain and thunderstorm chances to return primarily during the afternoon hours. Temperatures will be near-normal for this time of year. 07 && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... TSRA coverage and associated tempo groups with VRB gusts and reduced VSBYs are for the sites through the afternoon that may need to be extended into the evening. Otherwise mainly VFR conditions and cu field near 3-5 kft, then overnight possible lingering cloud coverage near 5 kft and alto level with potential for another morning low level stratus deck (not confident on the formation but could be IFR/LIFR). Have carried the potential with SCT 500 ft and can adjust as needed with updates. Looking at another round of TSRA and associated prob30 groups Wednesday near 18-00z. Winds mainly SW 7 kts or less during period (could be light SW to calm overnight), otherwise VRB gusts with any TSRA. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Low on Wednesday morning lower cig potential. Medium on TSRA coverage this afternoon/evening. High on all else. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
