Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
330 AM EDT Fri Jun 14 2019

.SHORT TERM /Today through Saturday/...
The short term period will begin with the forecast area positioned 
on the back side of a longwave trough currently lifting away to the 
northeast. Subsidence aloft over the area along with surface high 
pressure moving slowly eastward over the southeastern CONUS will 
promote cool and dry conditions today and Saturday. Clear skies and 
no PoPs are expected through the short term, as a result. 
Temperatures today will furthermore be well below climatological 
averages. This is especially true early this morning, when low 
temperatures mainly in the 50s throughout the area (and even upper 
40s in the far northeastern mountains) will be 6 to 10 degrees below 
normal. Highs this afternoon will similarly range from the upper 70s 
across far north Georgia to the mid 80s in central Georgia, which 
will be 3 to 6 degrees below normal. By this evening, the high 
pressure center should be to the east of our area as it makes its 
move towards the Atlantic coast. Low level flow will shift to the 
southeast on the back side of the surface high at this time and 
remain through the weekend. This steady southeasterly flow will 
promote a return of low level moisture and a subsequent increase in 
surface dewpoints late today and into Saturday. Dewpoints in the 40s 
and 50s this afternoon will climb to the low 60s by Saturday 
afternoon.

.LONG TERM /Saturday Night through Thursday/...
The long term period will be characterized by a low amplified westerly
flow aloft and increased moisture and instability allowing 
for shower and thunderstorm chances that should be generally diurnally
oriented. Temperatures are expected to be within several degrees of
normal through the long term period.
