544 FXUS62 KFFC 130246 AFDFFC Area Forecast Discussion...Updated National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 1045 PM EDT Fri Jul 12 2019 .Update... Overall diminishing trend for convection continues. Although there could be isolated storms that linger all night. Have tweaked pops to line up with radar. Otherwise no changes. 41 .Previous... .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/... Not seeing any significant changes to the overall forecast trends through Saturday night. Still expect only peripheral impacts from the Gulf tropical system, mainly just maintaining the moist, southerly flow over the area. Southern (especially southwestern) portion of the area may see some far outer band convection. Generally a diurnally favored cycle of scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms each day with better coverage across the far south, where some interaction with the outer edges of the tropical system are expected, and across the far north where the remains of a stalled front will linger. Severe weather chances remain low, but not entirely zero, mainly during the peak of the active cycle late each afternoon and through the evenings. Not seeing any widespread flood threat at this time, but high precipitable water values mean localized flooding from persistent storms is certainly possible. 20 .LONG TERM /Sunday through Friday/... Main weather feature through early next week continues to be Tropical Storm Barry and what remains of it as it moves inland. Luckily, based on the latest track forecast from NHC, this storm will largely be on the periphery of the region, keeping impacts fairly minimal. Updated QPF for the area continues to show generally 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rainfall over far north Georgia, with isolated higher amounts. Increased moisture flux into the area will keep coverage of diurnally driven storms fairly high, and it's unlikely the rain will completely shut off overnight. High temperatures through the extended will start off in the mid to upper 80s this weekend, then warm into the upper 80s and 90s by the work week. Overnight lows will also be on a warming trend, with lows in the mid 60s to mid 70s, or up to about 6 degrees above normal. 31 && .AVIATION... 00Z UPDATE... VFR conditions will predominate through 06Z outside of scattered convection. Scattered to broken MVFR clouds possible between 06z and 12Z...but mainly impacting the KCSG and KMCN TAF sites. All areas expected to be back to VFR conditions by 15-17Z. South to west winds 4kt or less after 02z will increase again after 14z. Scattered afternoon convection expected again Saturday. //ATL CONFIDENCE...00Z UPDATE... Medium to High on all elements. 41 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
