Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
812 PM EDT Thu Apr 10 2025

...New 00Z Aviation 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%.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 742 PM EDT Thu Apr 10 2025

Severe thunderstorms are moving SSE across north Georgia along
and north of I-20. Hail -- some large -- is occurring with these
storms. Expect convection to continue for the next several hours.
Have a TEMPO for TSRA at ATL and the other metro sites until 04z,
at AHN 01z-05z, and at MCN and CSG 04z-08z as the convection
shifts southward. Gusty, erratic winds can be expected in TSRA.
Mid-level ceilings (from ~4 kft to ~10 kft) are expected after the
convection overnight with FEW/SCT MVFR clouds possible.

//ATL Confidence...00Z Update...
Medium confidence on ceilings overnight into tomorrow (Friday)
morning. High confidence on all other elements.
