546 FXUS62 KFFC 011720 AFDFFC Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 1220 PM EST Wed Dec 1 2021 ...Updated for 18Z Aviation Discussion... .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 648 AM EST Wed Dec 1 2021/ UPDATE... 12z Aviation update below. Baker PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 446 AM EST Wed Dec 1 2021/ SHORT TERM /Today through Thursday/... A transition to SW low level fetch should allow dewpts to increase some from previous days and should not have any Fire Danger concerns today with higher resultant RH values. Temps will moderate to unseasonably warm levels with most areas in the upper 60s to near 70 this afternoon, about 5-8 deg above climo. An upper disturbance looks to traverse the TN/OH Valley late today into the evening, though the main moisture should remain north of the area and thus keeping dry with no pops and only expecting some increase in mid/upper level cloud coverage to parts of north GA. Another dry/warm day on tap for Thursday with NW flow aloft and broad sfc ridge influencing the region. Progged temps look to be even higher than today with values getting to the low 70s for much of the area. Baker LONG TERM /Thursday Night through Tuesday/... Another mostly dry extended forecast. Northwesterly upper-level flow will persist through the end of the week with and elongated surface high pressure ridge extending along the gulf coast out to the GA/SC coast. With southwesterly surface flow also continuing, moisture will slowly increase across the region keeping Relative Humidity values above critical fire weather thresholds. This SWRLY flow will also help raise temps through the weekend with high temps Thu through Sun in the 60s and 70s. A weak shortwave is progged to move over the TN Valley Saturday into Sunday ahead of a larger scale trough traversing the north- central CONUS, but with minimal moisture in place and weak upper- level forcing at best, keeping a light chance of precip mainly across N GA. The next best chance of precip will be Monday as a cold front pushes through the CWA. This front will bring increased chances of precip and a slightly cooler airmass for the middle of next week. 01 && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... VFR conditions will predominate across the area through this forecast period.
