NWS AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
000 FXUS62 KFFC 250944 AFDFFC AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 540 AM EDT FRI JUL 25 2008 .SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... OVERALL...NOT MUCH CHANGE EXPECTED THIS PERIOD. A COUPLE OF SHORT WAVES FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT COULD CAUSE A FEW SHOWERS. NOT MUCH INSTABILITY FOR THUNDERSTORMS. A STATIONARY FRONT CONTINUES OVER CENTRAL TO SOUTH GEORGIA AS WELL AND MAY ACT AS A CONVERGENCE AREA. ABOUT THE SAME FOR SATURDAY WITH ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO INCLUDE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST. BEST MOISTURE OVER CENTRAL GA SO POPS A LITTLE HIGHER. ACTIVITY MAINLY DIURNAL. HIGH AND LOW TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO NORMAL TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY. OVERALL CONFIDENCE IS MODERATE. .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... A LITTLE MORE MOISTURE WITH A WEAK SHORT FOR SUNDAY MAY CAUSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES TO THE AREA LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY WITH AT LEAST SOME CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL LOOKS MINIMAL FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES GENERALLY NORMAL TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE. && .AVIATION... VERY WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT WAS KEEPING THE WINDS CALM AT NEARLY ALL LOCAL TERMINALS EARLY THIS MORNING. ONLY MCN AND GVL WERE REPORTING A 3 KT NORTHWEST WIND. VWP AND MODEL GUIDANCE ARE RATHER CHAOTIC WITH DIRECTION THIS MORNING...BUT ANY WIND SHOULD REMAIN PREDOMINANTLY N/NW THROUGH TODAY WITH AN EVENTUAL SHIFT OVER TOWARD THE NE/E OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AS MODELS INDICATE PRESSURE FALLS TO OUR SW AND THE HIGH TO OUR NORTH SLIDES A BIT EAST. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING RATHER EXTENSIVE MID/HIGH CLOUD DECK OVERSPREADING NORTH GA FROM THE NW. FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND UPSTREAM OBS OVER TN SUGGEST THAT LAYER SHOULD BE AROUND 10KFT AND LOWERING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...BUT SO FAR NORTH GA OBS HAVE INDICATED ONLY 25KFT CIRRUS. SHOULD STILL SEE CLOUDS LOWER SOME THROUGH THE MORNING...THOUGH CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN VFR AT ALL BUT CSG AND MCN. BETTER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE THERE WILL CREATE MVFR/POSSIBLY BRIEF IFR VIS RESTRICTIONS THROUGH ABOUT 13Z. EXPECT MOST SHOWERS TO OUR NW TO DISSIPATE AS THEY APPROACH...BUT AS WE NEAR AFTERNOON MAY SEE A FEW MORE IN THE VICINITY OF THE TERMINALS. COVERAGE/INTENSITY WILL BE QUITE LIMITED THOUGH SO EXPECT AT MOST MENTION OF VCSH. RRH && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
