NWS Atlanta, GA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 10, 2:50 PM EST, 2 hours earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 350 PM EDT FRI AUG 10 2001 MODELS DEPICT SAME GENERAL SCENARIO BUT HAVE DIFFERING LOCATIONS OF MAIN FEATURE INFLUENCING OUR WEATHER. THE ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHOWERS AND TSTMS FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY ACROSS N MISSISSIPPI SINKS SOUTH OR SOUTHEAST PRODUCING AN UPPER TROF IN THE SOUTHEAST STATES. BY 00Z SUNDAY...THE ETA MOVES THE ENERGY MORE IN A SOUTHERLY DIRECTION INTO SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...THE NGM MOVES IT TO NEAR THE GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA BORDER...WHILE THE AVN LOCATES THE CENTER OF ACTION ALONG THE TENNESSEE/NORTH CAROLINA BORDER INTO NORTHEAST GEORGIA. THESE SOLUTIONS WOULD HAVE THE TROF FURTHER EAST ACCORDING TO THE NGM WITH A HINT OF SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR BEING PULLED INTO NORTH GEORGIA SUNDAY. LOCATION OF SURFACE FRONT VARIES ACCORDING TO THE MODEL CHOSEN ALSO. THE NGM WOULD HAVE THE FRONT INTO N GA BY 12Z SUNDAY...WHILE THE ETA AND AVN WOULD KEEP THE FRONT FURTHER NORTH. I GIVE A PREFERENCE TO THE ETA AND AVN MODELS BECAUSE THE PRESENT TREND HAS CERTAINLY BEEN FOR THE ACTIVITY TO HANG OVER ALABAMA AND PROGRESS SOUTHWARD SLOWLY. LOOKING AT THE WEAK JETSTREAM LEVEL... THERE IS A DIVERGENT PATTERN MORE APPARENT TO OUR WEST AND A SLIGHT CONVERGENT PATTERN IN OUR AREA. THIS GIVES SUPPORT FOR THE CONVECTION DEVELOPMENT STAYING MORE TO OUR WEST. ACTUAL FORECAST MAY NOT VARY THAT MUCH DEPENDING ON MODEL CHOICE. WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS GOING THROUGH THE FORECAST UNTIL DAY 7. HAVE GONE BELOW ALL POPS GUIDANCE THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT GIVEN HISTORY OF THIS SYSTEM ONLY PRODUCING SCATTERED CONVECTION OVER CWA. FWC MAX TEMPS TEND TO BE HIGHER...MAYBE BECAUSE OF DRIER AIR IT PROGS. PERSISTENCE AND SLIGHT PREFERENCE TO THE ETA AND AVN MODELS SWAY ME TO USE A BLEND OF MOS MAX TEMPS.
