AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 950 PM EDT SAT JUN 12 2004 .UPDATE... WEAK BACK DOOR COLD FRONT SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIFT WEST OVERNIGHT. UPPER RIDGE OVER THE AREA SHIFTS SLOWLY SOUTH...ALLOWING FOR BETTER GULF INFLOW DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS. MODELS SEEM TO MOVE BACKDOOR FRONT WEST A LITTLE TOO FAST...BUT BOUNDARY SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE WEST OVERNIGHT. VERY HOT TEMPERATURES INTO THE 90S AND EVEN 100 AT MACON THIS AFTERNOON CREATING VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS AHEAD OF BOUNDARY. NUMEROUS OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM AFTERNOON CONVECTION ALSO CREATING A CHAOTIC ENVIRONMENT. HENCE...HAVE DECIDED TO UP POPS TO 30 PERCENT...EXCEPT 40 PERCENT CLOSER TO THE BOUNDARY NEAR THE TN/SC BORDER. INCREASED TEMPS SLIGHTLY IN THE NORTHEAST MOUNTAINS...OTHERWISE NO CHANGES. IT APPEARS IT WILL BE A VERY WARM AND MUGGY NIGHT...ALTHOUGH LOCALIZED RAIN AREAS WILL COOL INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S. LOOKING AHEAD...INTERESTING SCENARIO ON TAP FOR THE WEEK. POTENTIAL TROPICAL SYSTEM MOVING NORTH FROM THE CENTRAL GULF COULD BRING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA MON-TUE...BEFORE DRIER/WARMER CONDITIONS RETURN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS BACK INTO THE AREA. AIR MASS FOR SUN-TUE APPEARS TO BE MUCH MORE STABLE THAN IN EVIDENCE TODAY...SO THUNDER THREAT APPEARS LESS. NEW MOS GUIDANCE PACKAGES GIVING CATEGORICAL POPS FOR SUN-MON...SO LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO EVALUATE NEED TO RAISE POPS. FOR NOW...WILL JUST GO WITH 50 PERCENT POPS AREA WIDE FOR SUN AND MON. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION AT 310 PM EDT... BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL MOVE WESTWARD THIS EVENING. ETA TIMING OF FRONT A LITTLE TOO FAST...WILL LEAN CLOSER TO AVN SOLUTION BUT SHADE OVERNIGHT LOWS TOWARD ETA AS THEY TEND TO DO BETTER WITH WEDGELIKE EVENTS. CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH FRONT ALREADY NOTED OVER SOUTH CAROLINA AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA. EXPECT EASTERN PORTIONS OF FORECAST AREA TO SEE STRONGEST STORMS AS SURFACE FRONT WILL ACT AS A FOCUS AND MODELS INDICATING BEST INSTABILITY ACROSS THE AREA. EASTERLY WINDS WILL BRING SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT WITH INCREASING LOW CLOUDS. ONCE CLOUDS BURN OFF TOMORROW DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION WILL FIRE SIMILAR TO EARLIER THIS WEEK. BY MONDAY WINDS WILL SHIFT MORE SOUTHEAST. .LONG TERM... MODELS DIFFER ON HANDLING OF EXTENDED PORTIONS OF FORECAST. GFS CONTINUES TO ADVERTISE FRONTAL PASSAGE BY MIDWEEK. PLENTY OF MOISTURE AVAILABLE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FOR CHANCE POPS THROUGH DAY 5. && .AVIATION... CONVECTION WILL DISSIPATE AFTER SUNSET...HOWEVER UNTIL THEN THERE WILL BE A RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS AT CSG AND MCN. SKIES SHOULD CLEAR AND WINDS WILL GO LIGHT. BACKDOOR FRONT MOVING THROUGH SOUTH CAROLINA AND WILL MOVE INTO NORTH AND EAST GEORGIA TONIGHT. BIGGEST CHANGE WILL BE A WIND SHIFT AS ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN VERY MOIST. THERE IS SOME QUESTION ABOUT STRATUS/STRATO CU TONIGHT. CURRENT THINKING IS THE STRATO CU UPWIND OVER NORTH CAROLINA WILL ADVECT ACROSS NORTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA AND INTO NORTH GEORGIA TONIGHT. PLENTY OF RAIN HAS FALLEN ACROSS NORTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA WHICH WOULD AID IN STRATO CU/STRATUS DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT AND ADVECT INTO GEORGIA. WILL THEREFORE LEAVE THE FORECAST AS IS FOR TONIGHT PER STRATUS AND STRATO CU. THIS WILL BURN OFF AFTER SUNRISE...THEN CONVECTION WILL FIRE UP AGAIN SUNDAY AFTER 18Z...HOWEVER WILL LEAVE OUT OF TAFS AS CONVECTION WILL BE SCATTERED. && .FFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && RAB/KWM

A FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BE PUSHING FROM THE CAROLINAS TO ALONG THE GEORGIA BORDER BY TONIGHT. AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY...EXPECT INCREASING INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE. .PRIMARY HAZARD... ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM 200 PM TO 700 PM. SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE...WITH THE PRIMARY THREAT DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS. THE BEST CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE NORTH AND EAST OF A LINE FROM ROME TO TOCCOA TO ATHENS TO MACON TO VALDOSTA. .DISCUSSION... ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA...MAINLY OVER NORTH AND EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA. DAYTIME HEATING WILL COMBINE WITH THE APPROACHING FRONT AND INCREASING MOISTURE. THIS WILL LEAD TO GREATER INSTABILITY. DEWPOINTS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE 70S. CAPE WILL BE INCREASING TO THE 2000 TO 2500 RANGE. THIS WILL OCCUR IN WEAK FLOW/WEAK SHEAR REGIME BENEATH A MID TO UPPER RIDGE WITH WEAK WINDS OF LESS THAN 40 KNOTS IN A DIFFLUENT REGIME. HOWEVER...STRONG HEATING OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER WITH LOWER 70S DEW POINTS MAY CONTRIBUTE TO SUFFICIENT DESTABILIZATION FOR VIGOROUS UPDRAFTS WITH LOCALLY VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS...ACCOMPANIED BY ISOLATED DOWNBURSTS. THIS WILL LEAD TO ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...WITH WINDS OF 55 MPH OR GREATER AND LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS OF OVER TWO INCHES AN HOUR. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER GROUPS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL SHOULD MONITOR WEATHER CONDITIONS...AND BE READY FOR POSSIBLE ACTIVATION. .DAY TWO THROUGH DAY SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY...MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS. && FOR THE GRAPHICAL HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK AND OTHER WEATHER INFORMATION...PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT WEATHER.GOV...AND CLICK ON GEORGIA.
