AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 330 PM EDT TUE JUN 12 2001 REMNANTS OF T.S. ALLISON BETWEEN ATL-MCN AT 18Z...MOVING ENE. SHOULD BE NEAR AGS BY EVENING AND THEN SLOWING DOWN AS IT MOVES NE INTO SC/NC WED/THU. RAIN STILL WRAPPING AROUND THE LOW AS IT TRACKS ENE...BUT THE HEAVIEST RAIN IS OVER. RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD BE LESS THAN 1 INCH IN MOST AREAS...WITH 1 INCH+ AMOUNTS CONFINED TO THE E CNTRL AND SE AREAS THIS EVENING. WILL LET FFA EXPIRE AS ADVERTISED AT 4 PM EDT. ALTHOUGH ALLISON MOVES AWAY AND UPPER LAYERS DRY OUT SOME NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...LOWER LEVELS REMAIN VERY MOIST. TRIGGERING MECHANISMS WILL BE LIMITED THROUGH FRIDAY...BUT T.S. SO CLOSE...WEAK IMPULSES IN NW FLOW WILL STILL AFFECT AREA AND COULD GENERATE SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOONS. LIS AND CAPES REMAIN SUPPORTIVE OF SOME ACTIVITY EACH AFTERNOON. DEWPOINTS WILL REMAIN HIGH AND TEMPERATURES WILL CHANGE LITTLE FROM DAY TO DAY THROUGH FRIDAY. MOST NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE AFTER TODAY WILL BE A RETURN TO MORE NORMAL JUNE READINGS AS CLOUDS TEND TO BREAK SOMEWHAT MORE DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. STILL EXPECT MOST AREAS TO STAY BELOW THE 90 DEGREE MARK THROUGH THE WEEKEND. FOR THE EXTENDED...GENERAL TENDENCY ALOFT IS FOR AN UPPER RIDGE TO BUILD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN STATES. HOWEVER...A SHARP UPPER TROUGH AMPLIFYING IN THE MIDWEST WILL MOVE EAST TOWARD THE WEEKEND AND KEEP THE RIDGE SQUASHED UNTIL EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE FRONT WILL BE NEAR ENOUGH TO GA FRI NIGHT/SAT FOR AN INCREASE IN SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY. WITH DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE REMAINING IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL SYSTEM...SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AND POSSIBLY EVEN SOME SEVERE TSRA COULD BE EXPECTED FROM NW TO SE ACROSS THE STATE FRI NIGHT/SAT MORN. THE BEST THREAT OF ANY SEVERE TSRA WOULD BE IN THE N WHERE DYNAMICS WOULD BE BETTER. FINALLY...A DRIER PERIOD APPEARS IN THE OFFING FOR SUN-TUE AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE REGION FROM THE WEST AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES DOWN FROM THE NORTH. TEMPERATURES SHOULD STAY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH TUESDAY...BUT START CREEPING UP TOWARD 90 AROUND THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
