Area forecast discussion, Jan 14, 12:31 AM EST, 2 hours 43 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 1231 AM EST Sun Jan 14 2024 ...New 06Z Aviation Discussion... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Sunday) Issued at 234 PM EST Sat Jan 13 2024 Dry conditions with near-normal to below-normal temperatures will be the rule in the short term period. Temperatures are on track to peak in the upper 30s to lower 50s this afternoon. Overnight lows are forecasted to be in the mid-20s to lower 30s. The upper-level troughing currently in place across the eastern CONUS will persist through tomorrow (Sunday). Meanwhile, the atmospheric column at large remains dry courtesy of a sprawling Arctic high pressure system. This setup will support west to northwest winds at 10-15 mph today and tomorrow, with stronger winds expected in the north Georgia mountains -- 15-20 mph with gusts of 25-30 mph. The passage of a dry cold front tomorrow will reinforce the cool air in place across much of north GA. Highs are forecasted to be in the upper 40s across portions of north GA; in the mountains, temperatures are not expected to get out of the 30s. Across central GA, highs in the 50s are expected. Have introduced slight chance PoPs (less than 25%) across far north GA (primarily the northern-most row of GA counties) after around 8 PM on Sunday evening as moist, west-southwesterly flow aloft overruns the Arctic airmass associated with the aforementioned high pressure. Much more detailed information follows in the long term forecast discussion... Martin && .LONG TERM... (Monday morning through next Friday) Issued at 234 PM EST Sat Jan 13 2024 Key Messages - Accumulating snow remains a concern for portions of northern Georgia Monday and Tuesday. - A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for Dade, Walker and Catoosa Counties. - A period of cold weather will build in this week, with hazardous wind chills expected Wednesday morning. Regarding the Snow Potential in North Georgia Monday and Tuesday Model guidance continues indicate a weak shortwave tracking through the Southeast Monday and Tuesday. As this wave moves northeast is will interact with a Arctic airmass and zone of frontogenesis between 800 and 600 mb. The area over which this frontogenetic band sets up will likely see snowfall and depressed surface temperatures Monday. Snowfall should continue into Tuesday morning as the wave and forcing move gradually eastward. Guidance continue to focus the core of the band over portions of Tennessee, however there was enough uncertainty in the southward extent of the snowfall for us to issue a Winter Storm Watch for Dade, Walker and Catoosa Counties this afternoon. Counties slightly east of this region remain at risk for a possible Winter Weather Advisory (later shifts can reevaluate). The 25th to 75th percentile of our going forecast favors 1 to 3 inches of snow in Dade, Walker and Catoosa Counties, with higher totals occurring at elevation. Snow accumulations are not expected in the Atlanta Metro with this event, though a couple flurries can be 100% ruled out Tuesday morning. The potential for Hazardous Cold Tuesday Night through Next Weekend: An Arctic airmass will surge into the region Tuesday night. As the core of this airmass moves overhead Wednesday morning temperatures should dip into the teens and lower 20s. Combined with gusty northwest winds, these temperatures will result in morning wind chills in the -5 to 15 degree range on Wednesday. Temperatures will recover some through Friday, however there is a high likelihood (>80% chance) that they remain below average through the upcoming weekend. The potential exists for another push of Arctic air next weekend. Albright && .AVIATION...
