AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 1224 PM EST FRI JAN 13 2006 .UPDATE... FCST PRETTY MUCH ON TRACK. SVR WX THREAT AREA HAS BEEN TWEAKED IN HAZ WX OUTLOOK ISSUED AT 11AM. MAIN THREAT WILL BE ACROSS CENTRAL GA SOUTH OF COLUMBUS TO MILLEDGEVILLE WHERE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE. A BRIEF TORNADO MAY BE POSSIBLE BUT MORE LIKELY ACROSS SOUTHERN GA. INSTABILITY IS STILL EXTREMELY LOW HERE BUT GRADUALLY INCREASING ACROSS CENTRAL GA. 0-1KM SR HELICITY IS VERY HIGH WITH VALUES OF 250-350 M2/S2 ALREADY. LINE OF SHRA/TSRA STILL QUITE INTACT BUT NO REAL STRONG STORMS ATTM. MOVING STEADILY EAST...SHOULD CLEAR WESTERN COUNTIES BY 3PM...ATL METRO BY 5 PM...AND SE ZONES BY 8-9PM. STRONG PERHAPS DAMAGING WINDS ON SATURDAY MAY END UP BEING THE BIGGER WX STORY. 925MB WINDS OF 40+ KTS FCST BY NAM/GFS ACROSS MUCH OF CWA. MAV/MET GUIDANCE ALSO FCST 25-30KTS SUSTAINED WINDS. WITH SUNSHINE AND RESULTING MIXING AND SUBSIDENCE WITH STRONG COLD ADVECTION...WILL ISSUE WIND ADVISORY FOR ENTIRE CWA AND A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR NE GA MOUNTAINS. WE ALL NEED TO HIT THIS HARDER THAN A TYPICAL WIND ADVISORY. EXPECT WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS 20 TO 30 MPH SUSTAINED WITH 40-45 MPH GUSTS. SOME SNOW SHOWERS ALSO POSSIBLE IN NRN ZONES LATE TONIGHT AND SAT. PROB OF MEASURABLE PRECIP WILL BE LESS THAN 20 PCT AND ACCUMULATIONS NOT EXPECTED. SFC TEMPS WILL BE ABOVE FREEZING UNTIL LATE SAT EVENING WHEN PRECIP WILL END. COULD SEE SOME FLURRIES SAT NIGHT. TEMPS ALOFT WILL BE VERY COLD SO ELEVATIONS ABOVE 2000 FT MAY A LITTLE MORE SNOW THAN RAIN. SNELSON && .PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 545 AM EST FRI JAN 13 2006) SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY) A DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM OVER THE MIDDLE MS RIVER VALLEY HAD A TRAILING COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM ARKANSAS TO EAST TX THIS MORNING. A SQUALL LINE IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT HAD DEVELOPED IN A MODERATELY UNSTABLE ZONE WITH LIS OF 0 TO ...2. SPC HAS BEEN ISSUING TORNADO WATCHES IN ADVANCE OF THE LINE WITH THE LATEST OVER MUCH OF MS. ALL OF GA IS NOW IN A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THROUGH 7 PM THIS EVENING. THE COLD FRONT WILL RAPIDLY APPROACH GA THIS MORNING AND WILL ENTER NW GA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED AS THE SQUALL LINE MOVES INTO THE STATE. EXPECT POSSIBLE STRAIGHT LINE WIND DAMAGE DUE TO THE SPEED OF THE LINE AND LARGE HAIL WITH WET BULB ZEROS AROUND 7000 FT THIS AFTERNOON. GREATEST 0...3 KM SR HELICITY VALUES NEAR 300 M2/S2 THIS AFTERNOON OVER MOST OF OUR CWA. EXPECT CAPES TO INCREASE TO 400... 800 J/KG DUE TO DIURNAL HEATING FROM MACON SOUTHWARD. SURFACE DEWPOINTS WILL INCREASE TO THE 55 TO 60 F RANGE IN THIS AREA ENHANCING THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED TORNADOES. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH OUR CWA BY 7 PM THIS EVENING WITH A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT DOMINATING OUR AREA TONIGHT AND SATURDAY WITH A STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW. A LAKE WIND ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR TONIGHT AND A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED FOR SATURDAY AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEEPENS OFF THE NJ COAST AND THE DIURNAL HEATING MIXES DOWN STRONG 925MB WINDS. IN HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF FAR NORTH GA...MAY NEED TO CONSIDER A HIGH WIND WATCH OR WARNING INSTEAD. THE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE FROM THE UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVING INTO EAST TN TONIGHT COMBINED WITH THE STRONG CAA WILL GIVE N GA A CHANCE OF RAIN CHANGING TO LIGHT SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT. ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN OR SNOW IN THE ATL METRO AREA DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. OTHERWISE THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD QUICKLY EXIT GA EARLY SATURDAY. SUNDAY WILL BE A SUNNY DAY WITH TEMPERATURES RETURNING TO NEAR NORMAL AS A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS INTO OUR AREA. LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY) THE FAIR WX CONTINUES SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM DEVELOPS IN THE CENTRAL MS RIVER VALLEY AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DEEPENS INTO TX. A COLD FRONT WILL GRADUALLY MOVE EAST THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST U.S. TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS ABUNDANT GULF MOISTURE WORKS ITS WAY NORTH ON A SOUTHWEST FLOW. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED. GRADUAL CLEARING IS EXPECTED THURSDAY WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL. AVIATION... MANY AVIATION CONCERNS NEXT 24 HOURS AS VERY STRONG AND DYNAMIC STORM SYSTEM TAKES ON A NEGATIVE TILT AND ROTATES THROUGH THE AREA. CONCERNS RANGE FROM IFR CIGS AND VSBYS...OR WORSE DURING TSRA...TO SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25...30 MPH WITH GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH SATURDAY...TO POSSIBLE LIGHT WINTER PRECIPITATION NE SECTIONS. CEILINGS...STILL VFR CIGS ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA THIS MORNING WITH A HIGH OVERCAST. THIS WILL CHANGE QUICKLY AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER DAYBREAK AS SOUTHERLY FLOW STRENGTHS IN RESPONSE TO APPROACHING SYSTEM. PLAN ON MVFR...IFR CIGS THROUGHOUT THE DAY...WITH LIFR POSSIBLE DURING SQUALL LINE 16Z...22Z. MOSTLY MVFR CIGS OVERNIGHT...WITH CLEARING BY 15Z SAT. VISIBILITY...ONCE AGAIN PATCHY DENSE FOG BEING OBSERVED THIS MORNING...BUT NOT AS WIDESPREAD AS THU MORNING THANKS TO HIGH CLOUD COVER. THIS WILL DISSIPATE QUICKLY AFTER SUNRISE...BUT POTENTIAL FOR FOG TO LIFT INTO STRATUS LAYER AFTER SUNRISE IS HIGH GIVEN SYNOPTICS. WX...EXPECT SQUALL LINE OF TSRA WITH WINDS GUSTS TO 60KTS POSSIBLE AT MIDDAY. NEAR SOLID LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE TSRA WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE CWA BETWEEN 16Z AND 22Z...AFFECTING ATL AROUND 18Z. HIGH POTENTIAL FOR GROUND STOPPAGE DURING HEIGHT OF EVENT DO TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND STRONG WINDS. SOME LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE BEHIND THE MAIN LINE...ESPECIALLY OVERNIGHT...BUT WILL NOT MENTION ANY SNSH FOR ATL. ALL PRECIP SHOULD END BY 08Z. WINDS...STARTING OFF 150...170 5...10KTS...INCREASING TO 10...15KTS IN ADVANCE OF SQUALL LINE AND VEERING TO 220. WIND OF 27030G45KTS OR GREATER POSSIBLE IN SQUALL LINE 16Z...22Z...AFFECTING ATL AROUND 18Z. WINDS 270...280 15...20KTS AND GUSTY OVERNIGHT...THEN 20...30KTS AND GUSTY SAT.

A RAPIDLY MOVING STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION TODAY AND TONIGHT...BRINGING A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THEN STRONG GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS AND EVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME WINTER WEATHER IN NORTH GEORGIA LATER TONIGHT. THIS STORM SYSTEM WILL OCCUR AS A DEEP UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH ROTATING THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. .PRIMARY HAZARD... THE PRIMARY HAZARD FROM THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS. IN ADDITION... ISOLATED TORNADOES CANNOT BE RULED OUT...MAINLY SOUTH OF A COLUMBUS TO MILLEDGEVILLE LINE WHERE THE GREATEST INSTABILITIES WILL BE POOLED. THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL BEGIN IN EXTREME WESTERN GEORGIA BETWEEN NOON AND 2 PM...THEN PROGRESS EASTWARD ACROSS THE STATE DURING THE LATER AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT SHOULD GREATLY DIMINISH SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. .DISCUSSION... ANOTHER STRONG SPRING-LIKE STORM SYSTEM WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST U.S. THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...BRINGING A VARIETY OF INCLEMENT WEATHER TO THE REGION. ALTHOUGH SURFACE BASED INSTABILITIES WILL BE LIMITED...WITH CAPES OF 200-500 AND LIFTED INDICES OF ONLY MINUS 1 OR 2...AN INTENSE UPPER TROUGH AND STRONG LOW LEVEL JET OF 50 KNOTS WILL COMBINE TO ENHANCE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. A BROKEN LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WAS ALREADY PUSHING ACROSS EASTERN ALABAMA AND QUICKLY APPROACHING THE NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL PORTIONS OF GEORGIA. ALTHOUGH THE STORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LINE WERE BELOW SEVERE LIMITS OVER ALABAMA...THIS LINE COULD BEGIN TO INTENSIFY BY EARLY AFTERNOON AS IT SWEEPS EASTWARD INTO A WARMER...AND SLIGHTLY MORE UNSTABLE GEORGIA AIRMASS. ALTHOUGH THE LACK OF STRONG INSTABILITIES WILL HOLD THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT TO ISOLATED IN NATURE...THE MAIN THREATS OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS ARE POSSIBLE ANYWHERE IN THE STATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE LINE OF STORMS PUSH ACROSS THE REGION. WINDS GUSTS OF 60 TO 70 MPH ARE POSSIBLE...WHICH COULD RESULT IN DOWNED TREES...POWER LINES AND OTHER TYPES OF DAMAGE. THE COLD AIR ALOFT WILL ALSO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF LARGE HAIL...POSSIBLY AS LARGE AS NICKEL TO QUARTER SIZE AT TIMES. FINALLY...FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS MIDDLE GEORGIA...WHERE THE WARMER TEMPERATURES AND GREATER INSTABILITIES WILL BE POOLED...ISOLATED TORNADOES MAY BE POSSIBLE AS SHEAR PROFILES WILL BE SUFFICIENT. IN COMPARISON TO THE RECENT JANUARY SECOND OUTBREAK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND TORNADOES...TODAYS SITUATION DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AS VOLATILE. SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE 10 TO 15 DEGREES COOLER THAN OBSERVED ON JANUARY SECOND WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE 50S NORTH AND 60S SOUTH AS COMPARED TO THE 70S ON JANUARY 2ND. LIFTED INDICES ONLY -1 TO -2...COMPARED TO -7 AND -8 ON THE 2ND...AND DEW POINTS ONLY IN THE 45 TO 55 RANGE...COMPARED TO 60 TO 65 ON JANUARY SECOND. .OTHER HAZARDS... AS THE SYSTEM MOVES EAST OF THE AREA THIS EVENING AND A DEEP SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC...A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL RESULT IN INCREASING NORTHWEST WINDS. OVERNIGHT...WINDS SHOULD BE MOSTLY IN THE 15 TO 20 MPH RANGE...BUT INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 MPH EARLY SATURDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY SATURDAY... RESULTING IN POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE TO TREES AND POWER LINES. IN ADDITION...INTENSE COLD ADVECTION THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT COMBINED WITH WRAP AROUND MOISTURE...WILL RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW SHOWERS IN NORTH GEORGIA...ESPECIALLY THE MOUNTAINS...WHERE SOME MINOR SNOW ACCUMULATION ON GRASSY SURFACES AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS IS POSSIBLE. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY STRONG GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH...WITH GUSTS TO 45 MPH ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE STRONG STORM SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH THE AREA TODAY. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AND ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN TUESDAY THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY NEXT WEEK. OTHERWISE...HAZARDOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED FOR SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY OR THURSDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
