614 FXUS62 KFFC 010719 AFDFFC Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 319 AM EDT Wed May 1 2024 ...Morning Area Forecast Discussion... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Thursday) Issued at 318 AM EDT Wed May 1 2024 Current obs are showing areas of patchy dense fog over north GA and areas just south of ATL. An SPS for patchy dense fog is in effect through 8 am for this. After the fog clears after sunrise, looking at temps warming into the mid 80s and a cumulus field to setup over the area for the afternoon into the evening. No rain is expected for today. Looking at tomorrow, similar conditions are expected with temps rising into the upper 80s to close to 90 (central GA). Winds will stay light through the period, but overall a pretty quiet period as ridging takes back over until the weekend. Hernandez && .LONG TERM... (Thursday night through Tuesday) Issued at 318 AM EDT Wed May 1 2024 At a glance: - Caliente. - Chance for afternoon thunderstorm this weekend and into next week. With the ridge firmly in place, temperatures are expected to climb into the mid to upper 80s again on Friday. Overnight lows will be in the mid 60s; which is around 10-15 degrees above our normal overnight lows for this time of year. A short wave will bring the chance of thunderstorms north of I-20 on Friday night and into Saturday. This may help moderate temps in northern Georgia to the low 80s and upper 70s; still around 5 degrees above normal but temps across the southern part of the CWA may reach 90 by the afternoon. Conditionally stable conditions will settle in after the front moves out. Convective triggered thunderstorms will be possible beginning Sunday afternoon as daytime heating provides enough of a lift to get our humid summer atmosphere churning. Vaughn && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 127 AM EDT Wed May 1 2024 Starting to see fog develop in extreme north GA that could ultimately affect the TAF site ~10-12z just before sunrise. Confidence is low on widespread fog, but very patchy dense fog may become a concern. Normal afternoon cu field expected tomorrow, but then VFR conditions through the remainder of the TAF period. Winds shift to the east ~00z tomorrow. //ATL Confidence...06Z Update... Low confidence on fog development area. High on all other elements. Hernandez && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
