Hail in Georgia, March 15, 2012

Name: Hail in Georgia, March 15, 2012
Start: 2012-03-15T13:15
End: 2012-03-15T23:39
Location: Georgia

March 15, 2012 · NWS FFC · 7 events in 7 counties and zones

As had been the case for a few days, the Southeast states remained on the northern periphery of weak upper level ridging on the 15th. Ample moisture and warm temperatures, very summer-like in nature, allowed for enough instability to produce scattered thunderstorms especially across north Georgia.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
137 PM EDT THU MAR 15 2012

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1022 AM EDT THU MAR 15 2012/

UPDATE...
BEST CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS STILL ACROSS N GA THIS
AFTERNOON WHERE BEST INSTABILITY IS FORECAST ALONG WITH SMALL
POTENTIAL FOR STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE. HARD QUESTION IS HOW FAR S
STORMS COULD OCCUR AND THIS WILL JUST NEED TO BE MONITORED.
FORECAST HIGH TEMPERATURES RUNNING 15-20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL WITH
SOME RECORDS EXPECTED. BDL

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 735 AM EDT THU MAR 15 2012/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
GEORGIA REMAINS ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
THROUGH THE PERIOD. AMPLE MOISTURE AND WARM TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE
ENOUGH FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED...MAINLY DIURNAL...CONVECTION.
POPS WILL BE HIGHEST ACROSS THE FAR NORTH WHERE WEAK WAVES MOVING
OVER THE RIDGE WILL HAVE SOME INFLUENCE. POPS WILL BE A BIT HIGHER
FRIDAY AS UPPER RIDGE FLATTENS SOMEWHAT AND A WEAK FRONT SAGS INTO
THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. INSTABILITY WILL BE MODERATE EACH DAY BUT
LITTLE SHEAR IS EXPECTED...THEREFORE NO WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS
ANTICIPATED.

WITH THE UPPER RIDGE COMBINING WITH SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL FLOW...
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS. NEAR RECORD
HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TODAY AND POSSIBLY AGAIN FRIDAY.

20

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING STRENGTHENS OVER THE SOUTHEAST OVER THE
WEEKEND.  IMPULSES ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL COMBINE
WITH GOOD MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIODS TO
BRING DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.  BY MONDAY IMPULSES SLIDE FURTHER TO THE EAST...ALTHOUGH
PRECIPITABLE WATER REMAINS IN THE ONE TO ONE AND ONE-QUARTER INCH
RANGE THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIODS. WHILE PROBABILITY OF
PRECIPITATION WILL DIMINISH SOMEWHAT...THERE WILL STILL BE ENOUGH
MOISTURE FOR ISOLATED CONVECTION IN THE AFTERNOONS...ESPECIALLY OVER
EASTERN PORTIONS OF FORECAST AREA AS EASTERLY FLOW BRINGS IN
ADDITIONAL ATLANTIC MOISTURE. GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TEN
TO FIFTEEN DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL OVER THE WEEKEND...WHICH WILL REMAIN
BELOW RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES.
