Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
232 PM EDT Thu Apr 10 2025

...Afternoon Area Forecast Discussion...

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Friday)
Issued at 232 PM EDT Thu Apr 10 2025

A cold front will move south across the CWA overnight and into
tomorrow. Ahead of the frontal passage, scattered to numerous
showers and thunderstorms are expected across much of north and
central portions of GA this afternoon and evening. The hi-res models
continue to be pretty consistent with the timing and with the
general trends.

A weak line of scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will
continue to move across northern portions of the state early this
afternoon. A second, stronger and more organized, wave of
convection is likely later this afternoon into the evening hours.
The organized convection axis has shifted somewhat south from
yesterday's runs...mainly along a path between metro ATL and
Columbus and areas southeast. Afternoon/evening storms will have
modest CAPE values (good heating/50s dewpoints) and steep lapse
rates. Forecast soundings also show a decent inverted V structure,
good for gusty storms. Still expecting large hail and damaging wind
gusts as the primary severe weather hazards.

Models continue to weaken the secondary wave of storms as it moves
into central portions of GA this evening. Seems reasonable with the
loss of heating and getting away from the main dynamic forcing to
the north.

Upper moves across the TN valley tomorrow. Models do tend to
underestimate the amount of cloud cover as these types of systems
move by, so have upped the sky grids a bit to compensate. Also, some
scattered shra possible as the low may provide just enough lift.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday morning through next Wednesday)
Issued at 232 PM EDT Thu Apr 10 2025

Key Messages:

 - The potential exists for overnight frost formation north of
   Interstate 85 and patchy sub freezing temperatures in the
   mountains this weekend.

 - Dry weather is favored in the region between Saturday and
   Thursday.

This Weekend:

An area of surface high pressure will build into the Southeast over
the weekend. This will combine with dry northwest flow aloft to
produce fairs skies, mild temperatures and dry weather. Weakening
surface pressure gradients should also lead to lighter winds in the
region (especially on Sunday). Radiational cooling should be
significant both Friday night and Saturday night and this may lead
to some frost/freeze concerns across northern Georgia. On Saturday
morning it looks like the coolest temperatures will be limited to
the sheltered areas in the mountains of northeast Georgia. Then on
Sunday morning the potential for at least Frost Advisory level
conditions exists along and north of Interstate 85. For the
northeast Georgia mountains there is a 50% chance of a Frost
Advisory (overnight lows below 36 degrees) Friday night into
Saturday morning, and a 50% chance of a Freeze Warning (overnight
lows below 32 degrees) Saturday night and Sunday morning. Along and
north of Interstate 85 there is a 40% chance of a Frost Advisory
Saturday night and Sunday morning.

High temperatures will struggle on Saturday due to continued
northwest winds and the resulting CAA. As a consequence afternoon
high temperatures should wallow in the lower 60s across north
Georgia and claw their way into the upper 60s in central Georgia.
High temperatures of this magnitude would be 7 to 12 degrees colder
than seasonal averages. A transition to westerly winds, continued
low relative humidity and sunshine should allow high temperatures to
climb to within 1-3 degrees of seasonal averages on Sunday.
Everywhere except the mountains can anticipate afternoon highs in
the 70s.

Considerations for Next Week:

An upper level trough tracking through the Great Lakes early next
week should bring southerly winds and WAA back to Georgia.
Temperatures should respond accordingly by rising into the lower 80s
Monday afternoon. Attention then turns to a potential cold frontal
passage Tuesday or Tuesday night. This may lead to midweek
temperature declines, with 70s favored on Wednesday. Trends in the
GEFS and EPS guidance continue to pull back on the rain chances,
with more than 90% of ensemble members keeping rain amounts under
0.10 inches in north Georgia. The odds of accumulating precipitation
in central Georgia are less than 5%.
