What happened

The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.

The strong upper level ridge responsible for record-breaking heat across the Plains and Midwest slid toward the Southeast on the 28th. This was one of the hottest events in Georgia state history, with multiple all-time heat records tied or broken, including Athens (109 degrees on June 29th broke the previous record of of 108 set on 7/12/1930), Macon (108 degrees on June 30th tied the record last set on 7/17/1980), Atlanta (106 degrees on June 30th broke the old record of 105 set on 7/17/1980), and Columbus (106 degrees on June 30th tied the record last set on 9/5/1925).

What forecasters said that day

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
800 PM EDT THU JUN 28 2012

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FOR THIS FORECAST PERIOD HEAT IS THE MAIN CONCERN. WITH STRONG
RIDGING ALOFT AND A DRY AIR MASS NO CONVECTION IS EXPECTED FOR THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD EASTWARD
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. AXIS OF VERY HIGH 850 MB TEMPERATURES
LOCATED OVER MUCH OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA THROUGH SATURDAY.
MAV/MET GIVING HIGHS OF 100 DEGREES OR GREATER AT MANY LOCATIONS
NEXT TWO DAYS. GUIDANCE NUMBERS FOR A FEW AREAS FORECAST AT GREATER
THAN 105 DEGREES. THESE WOULD BE ALL TIME RECORD HIGHS IN THOSE
PLACES SO HAVE TWEAKED THE NUMBERS DOWN A BIT. THE END RESULT IS
TO LOOK FOR HIGHS FROM AROUND 99 TO 103 ACROSS THE CWA...EXCEPT
A BIT COOLER IN THE MOUNTAINS. OVERNIGHT LOWS REMAINING BELOW 75
DEGREES SO NOT LOOKING AT HEAT ADVISORY YET.

41

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED EXCEPT FOR SOME MINOR TWEAKS TO
TEMPS. ANOMALOUSLY HIGH 850 AND 925MB TEMPS PARK THEMSELVES OVER
THE SOUTHEAST...WITH THE MAX FROM APPROXIMATELY ATHENS TO ANDERSON
SC THROUGH THE WEEKEND. GUIDANCE FOR SUNDAY HAS INCREASED SLIGHTLY
THUS HAVE TWEAKED TEMPS UP JUST A TAD. IT LOOKS INCREASINGLY
LIKELY THAT A HEAT ADVISORY WILL BE NECESSARY AT LEAST FOR
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN GEORGIA WHERE OVERNIGHT LOW WILL
REMAIN ABOVE 75. STILL TOO EARLY TO ISSUE ANYTHING AT THIS TIME
BUT WILL CONTINUE TO EMPHASIZE THE HEAT IN THE HWO AND GRAPHICAL
FORECASTS. NO CHANGE TO TEMPS LATER NEXT WEEK OR TO POPS THROUGH
THE EXTENDED.

TDP

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 403 AM EDT THU JUN 28 2012/
UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE DOMINATES THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO THE
BEGINNING OF THE NEW WORK WEEK. WITH TEMPERATURES CLIMBING UNDER
THE RIDGE AND LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE SLOWLY INCREASING THROUGH THE
WEEKEND WE WILL LIKELY SEE HEAT INDEX VALUES CREEPING INTO
ADVISORY LEVELS BY SATURDAY ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA...WITH A STRONG
POSSIBILITY OF MORE WIDESPREAD ADVISORY LEVEL HEAT INDICES SUNDAY
AND MONDAY. KEY FACTOR IN THE SCOPE OF ANY NECESSARY HEAT
ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE OVERNIGHT LOWS WHICH WILL ALSO CLIMB OUT
OF THE 60S INTO THE 70S ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS
WEEKEND. MODELS SHOW THE RIDGE WEAKENING SOME AS WE HEAD INTO THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...THE GFS MORE SO THAN THE ECMWF RIGHT
NOW...WHICH SHOULD HELP TO MODERATE TEMPERATURES SOME. RIDGE AND
CAPPING INVERSION SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPRESS CONVECTION
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. CAP ERODES ENOUGH BY MONDAY FOR AT LEAST A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WITH NO SIGNIFICANT
SURFACE OR UPPER-LEVEL FOCUS FOR LIFT ANY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY IS
EXPECTED TO BE DRIVEN BY STRONG SURFACE HEATING AND SHOULD REMAIN
DIURNAL IN NATURE.

20

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
MODELS KEEP LOW DEW POINTS OVER MAINLY EAST CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST
GEORGIA DURING THIS FORECAST PERIOD. THIS WOULD GIVE A BORDERLINE
FIRE DANGER DAY FOR FRIDAY. WILL LET THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT TAKE ANOTHER
LOOK AT A POSSIBLE FIRE DANGER STATEMENT.
