Afternoon Area Forecast Discussion
SHORT TERM
(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 304 PM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Highlights:
- Patchy, short duration frost in a few areas of the north, with better chances in the extreme NE zones.
- Fire danger concerns will continue on Friday for much of the area.
Cumulus clouds continue across our SE zones, with sunny skies elsewhere across the area. Humidity values have dropped into the teens and 20s across much of the area. NW winds continue to gust over 20 mph as well. Fuel moisture values have dropped below 10% in many areas as well. As a result, have expanded the Fire Danger Statement to more of north and central Georgia through the early evening.
Winds are expected to drop off considerable after sunset. As a result, good radiational cooling is expected. Low temperatures across portions of N GA support frost formation, but due the the dryness of the airmass and the short duration of coldest temperatures should preclude all but patchy frost formation for 2-3 hours. However, frost is expected to be a bit more expansive and long-lived across the extreme NE. As a result, have hoisted a Frost Advisory in that area. Mentioned that continued higher wind speeds in higher elevations of these counties will preclude frost development.
Warmer temperatures are expected for Friday, with highs mostly in the 70s outside of mountain areas. Winds will be much lighter, but fuel moisture levels should be sufficient for us to need another Fire Danger Statement. /SEC
LONG TERM
(Saturday morning through next Wednesday)
Issued at 304 PM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
The extended forecast remains on track for this forecast update. Dry conditions are expected to persist through the weekend, although southwesterly low-level flow will promote the advection of warm and moist air into the forecast area. A warming trend will also begin on Saturday and persist through the early parts of next week, with highs forecast to reach into the low 80s across the majority of north and central Georgia by Monday afternoon. Continued warm air advection into the region will provide instability for the next system to work on Tuesday into Wednesday next week. The previous discussion follows...

(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 418 AM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
The first portion of the long term period will be characterized by a high pressure system centered over FL and the Bahamas, and mid-/upper-level ridging over the Southeast. Winds will be westerly to southwesterly as the forecast area is situated on the northern fringes of the high. This setup will promote gradually increasing temperatures and dew points Saturday through Monday. High temperatures will generally be in the low-/mid-80s on Sunday and Monday. While it will be dry, the increasing dew points will preclude hazardous fire weather conditions on Sunday and Monday. That said, fire weather conditions (relative humidity, winds/gusts, and finer fuel moistures) will bear watching on Saturday.
For early Tuesday morning through Wednesday night, the GEFS and EPS depict a positively-tilted mid-/upper-level trough traversing the Southeast, while the CMCE depicts a less-pronounced trough passing over as a cut-off low develops over the Four Corners region. The differences in the placement/dynamics of the trough among the ensemble guidance has an impact on where the primary area of low pressure develops and moves, and thus the timing and intensity of precipitation across the forecast area. Did not stray much from the NBM guidance for PoPs, so not much change has been made from the previous forecast package in this respect. Have included a slight chance for thunder Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon as the GEFS and CMCE are progging up to ~25% chance for CAPE >1000 J/kg, with good agreement amongst the GEFS members. The GEFS, EPS, and CMCE are also progging >60 kts of bulk shear. Putting these ingredients together, at least isolated thunderstorms are expected with the potential for stronger storms with gusty to damaging winds.
The QPF is widespread 0.25" to 0.75" with 1.0" to 1.5" across portions of far north GA.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 132 PM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Cumulus field along with some thin high clouds continue to slowly push E. Most TAF sites have completely cleared, and VFR conditions are expected at all sites through the period. Winds will remain gusty through the remainder of the afternoon and early evening, but winds are expected to drop off significantly after 00Z. Wind directions are forecast to remain NW, with a backing to WSW at ATL late Fri afternoon.
