AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 245 PM EDT SAT AUG 18 2001 DEW POINT LINE ACROSS NORTH GA WILL CONTINUE TO ERODE THROUGH THE EVENING ALLOWING THE MOISTURE TO RETURN TO NORTH GA TONIGHT...HOWEVER IT MAY BE TOO LATE FOR ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTION...BUT CANT RULE OUT SCATTERED/ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDER ACROSS THE CWA TONIGHT AS A SHORT WAVE SLOWLY MOVES ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. COLD FRONT OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL MOVE ACROSS GA SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY AND THIS WILL ALSO KEEP THE RISK OF THUNDER ACROSS THE CWA SUNDAY AND SUNDAY EVENING. PROBLEM IS MONDAY WHERE DRYING OCCURS ALOFT ABOVE H7...HOWEVER LOWER LEVELS REMAIN VERY MOIST AND PROGGED LIFTED INDICES AND CAPES INDICATE AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS ALL OF OUR CWA...EXCEPT THE EXTREME NORTH...MONDAY AFTERNOON. WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER FROM ATL-AHN AND A CHANCE ACROSS CENTRAL GA. H5 HIGH BUILDS OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AND WITH DRYING AT MOST LAYERS WILL TAKE CHANCE OF PRECIP OUT AND RAISE TEMPS A BIT. NEXT PROBLEM WILL BE CHANTAL. AVN/MRF HAVE CHANTAL MOVING INTO THE CENTRAL GULF...BUT THIS IS A RATHER EXTENDED FORECAST AND A LOT CAN CHANGE. EVEN IF IT GOES INTO THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN GULF THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH MOISTURE SPREADING OVER THE SOUTHEAST FROM CHANTAL TO AID IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION SO WILL ADD CHANCE OF THUNDER BACK IN THE FORECAST STARTING THURSDAY.
