AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
945 PM EDT THU JUN 2 2005
.DISCUSSION...
UPPER LOW...THAT HAS PLAGUED THE AREA THIS ENTIRE WEEK...LIFTING
SLOWLY NORTH THROUGH NORTHERN AL INTO TN. THE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO
LIFT NORTH THROUGH FRIDAY. WEAK FRONT REMAINS ACROSS CENTRAL
GA...WITH A PERSISTENT COOL...WEDGE LIKE AIR MASS IN PLACE ACROSS
THE N-NE PART OF THE STATE. THIS FRONT HAS OSCILLATED BACK AND FORTH
OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...BUT HAS NEVER MADE IT MUCH FURTHER
NORTH THAN ATL. THE FRONT DRIFTED BACK TO THE SOUTH AGAIN THIS
EVENING TO NEAR CSG-MCN. EXPECT THE FRONT TO REMAIN NEARLY
STATIONARY OVERNIGHT...THEN DRIFT NORTH IN EARNEST FRIDAY AS THE
UPPER LOW LIFTS NORTH. WE SHOULD FINALLY BE DONE WITH IT AT THAT
POINT. SUPPORT FOR SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY CERTAINLY LESS FRIDAY THAN WE
HAVE SEEN IN MANY DAYS. MID-LEVELS DRY OUT AND DEWPOINTS RISE AS
LOW-LEVEL RESIDUAL COOL AIR MASS OVER N GA IS FINALLY SCOURED OUT.
LOOKS LIKE THE AREA WILL FINALLY GET INTO A MORE SUMMERLIKE AIR
MASS...AND EVEN MORE SO ON SATURDAY WITH DEWPOINTS 70-72 AS FAR
NORTH AS ATL. IT WILL FEEL AWFULLY WARM AND STEAMY AFTER THE
UNSEASONABLY COOL...DAMP CONDITIONS OF THE PAST FEW DAYS. FOR THE
UPCOMING WEEK...BUT ESPECIALLY THE SHORT TERM...OVERALL UPPER
SUPPORT IS WEAK AS UPPER RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE WESTERN ATLANTIC.
HOWEVER...WEAK DISTURBANCES WILL CONTINUE TO RIDE FROM A SW U.S.
UPPER LOW TOWARD THE OHIO VALLEY...WITH TRAILING TROUGHS AFFECTING
THE SE U.S. WITH A WARM...HUMID AIR MASS IN PLACE...EXPECT AT A
MINIMUM DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION EACH DAY. BY THE END OF THE
WEEK...CLOSED UPPER RIDGE EVOLVES OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC/NC
AREA...WITH LOW PRESSURE IN THE EASTERN GULF...WITH THE HINT OF A
POSSIBLE TROPICAL SYSTEM POISED TO MOVE NORTH INTO THE SE U.S. IT
SUFFICES TO SAY...THAT THE NEXT WEEK OR SO WILL OVERALL BE WET AND
HUMID WITH GOOD CHANCES OF SHRA/TSRA MOST DAYS. TEMPERATURES WILL
FINALLY RISE TO NEAR SEASONAL LEVELS FRIDAY...AND SHOULD REMAIN
THERE THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK.
Interesting.
