AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
141 PM EDT MON JUN 23 2014

.EARLY AFTERNOON UPDATE...
A MODIFIED MORNING SOUNDING SHOWS AMPLE INSTABILITY WITH 2500-3000
J/KG OF CAPE AND 1.5+ PW'S. THIS COUPLED WITH A SERIES OF
DISTURBANCES MOVING IN FROM THE WEST WILL SUPPORT NUMEROUS SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. RADAR SHOWS THIS
ACTIVITY IS WELL UNDERWAY. A BIT OF MID LEVEL DRY AIR MAY TRY TO
ENHANCE THE DOWNDRAFT... BUT WITH SUCH A MOIST AIRMASS... EXPECTING
OUR MICROBURST TODAY TO HOLD MOSTLY BELOW SEVERE LIMITS... BUT STILL
PRODUCE GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH AT TIMES. THIS COULD STILL KNOCK DOWN
A FEW TREES... SO BE CAUTIOUS. THE WET BULB ZERO HGT IS LOW... SO
PEA SIZED HAIL IS ALSO POSSIBLE. THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF STORMS WOULD
FAVOR THE MAIN THREAT BEING VERY HEAVY RAIN WITH BRIEF FLOODING
ALONG LOW SPOTS LIKELY UNDER THE STRONGER STORMS... AND OF COURSE
OCCASIONAL CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTENING. THE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE
SHOULD GREATLY DIMINISH WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING LATER THIS
EVENING... HOWEVER... SCT SHOWERS WILL LIKELY PERSIST OVERNIGHT.

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
/ISSUED AT 349 AM EDT MON JUN 23 2014/
MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WITH ONLY MINOR
DIFFERENCES IN STRENGTH. THE SURFACE BOUNDARY ACROSS CENTRAL/SOUTH
GEORGIA WILL BE DRIFTING NORTH TODAY AND THIS WILL SHIFT THE FOCUS
OF CONVECTION INTO MUCH OF THE CWA TODAY...MAINLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON. A STRONG SHORT WAVE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE NORTHWEST
GULF/LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND MOVE INTO THE CWA TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS/TSTORMS
TO THE CWA TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THE ADDITIONAL PRECIP AND CLOUD COVER
WILL PLAY A ROLE IN MAX TEMPS TODAY AND TUESDAY...HOWEVER ANY
SUNSHINE WILL BOOST TEMPS. AT THIS TIME WILL GO A DEGREE OR TWO
ABOVE MOS GUIDANCE TO COMPENSATE FOR ANY BREAKS IN THE OVERCAST.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
/ISSUED AT 349 AM EDT MON JUN 23 2014/
A MOIST WSW UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL BE IN PLACE TO START THE LONG TERM
ALLOWING FOR SHORT WAVES TO ENHANCE ANY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. BY
FRIDAY THE EUROPEAN BUILDS THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE AREA STRONGER
THAN THE GFS AND THIS DIFFERENCE CONTINUES INTO SUNDAY.

PLENTY OF MOISTURE THROUGH THE LONG TERM COMBINED WITH DAY TIME
INSTABILITY WILL COMBINE TO PRODUCE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO FRIDAY THEN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH HAVE
A DEFINITE DIURNAL TREND FLARING UP IN THE AFTERNOON INTO THE
EVENING HOURS...THEN DIMINISHING OR ENDING DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS.

LEANED TOWARDS HIGHER POPS WEDNESDAY THEN FAVORED WPC POPS
THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

FORECAST HIGH AND LOW TEMPERATURES RUNNING WITHIN 3 DEGREES OF
