Fxus62 kffc 171146 afdffc area forecast discussion national weather service peachtree city ga 746 am edt Sat aug 17 2019 Prev discussion issued 411 am edt Sat aug 17 2019 short term today through Sunday ... current satellite loop shows moisture plume associated with the old frontal boundary extending from just off the mid atlantic coast down the ga coast and across north central fl. This moisture should stay in place one more day as a much drier air mass across north and central ga keeps things mostly dry today. Areas south and east of macon will see some increased moisture today so included a slight chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms today. Instability indices stay fairly low today so any showers and thunderstorms that develop will stay below severe limits. Moisture begins to increase across the entire area from the south and north Sunday which is definitely evident in the precipitable waters. Pws go from 0.9-1.2 inches today to 1.4-1.5 inches Sunday. Instabilities also increase with mucapes getting into the 1700 j kg range. Lifted indices and shear values stay fairly weak so not looking for much in the way of severe storms but would expect to see some strong storms Sunday. Heat index values will get into the 98-102 deg range over much of central ga on today... But should remain below advisory criteria. Forecast high temperatures should continue mostly above normal areawide for today and Sunday. 01 long term Sunday night through Friday ... as the extended period begins, broad upper-level ridging will be in place to the west of the forecast across the central CONUS and to the east of the area over the western atlantic. A transition in the pattern will be ongoing by Sunday night as weak troughing will be building in between the two ridges. This upper-level troughing will allow for a gradual moistening of the airmass, northward advection of the deeper moisture, and an overall more unsettled pattern through the remainder of the period. At the surface, a dissipating frontal boundary will remain stalled across central georgia on Sunday night, providing a focus for some lingering isolated showers and thunderstorms in central georgia. The persistent trough and increase in deep moisture will allow for greater coverage of diurnally driven convection during the afternoon

hours each day in the coming week. Primarily chance to low-end likely pops are expected across the area each afternoon and evening starting Monday. With precipitable water values approaching 2 inches by Tuesday, there is a possibility that some of the stronger thunderstorms could produce locally heavy rainfall each day. Late in the period, a deep longwave trough extending from the great lakes region is anticipated to drop another cold front towards the forecast area, providing a chance for some more organized convection. However, model guidance remains inconsistent with the handling of this feature at this time. The increase in convective coverage and clouds during the extended period will also somewhat moderate temperatures. Highs are thus expected to return to near or just above climatological normals, in the upper 80s to low 90s each afternoon. King Aviation 12z update... vfr conditions expected to continue with no precipitation or restrictions to vsbys. Winds are light and variable this morning.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
