AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
318 AM EST TUE NOV 24 2009


.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
CLOUDY SKIES...AREAS OF PATCHY FOG AND LIGHT DRIZZLE CAN BE
EXPECTED OVER SECTIONS OF THE CWA THIS MORNING AS THE EASTERLY
FLOW CONTINUES...THOUGH SLOWLY WEAKENING. THE ECMWF SEEMS TO
OFFER THE BETTER SOLUTION AS THE GFS AND NAM BRINGS DRIER AIR
INTO THE AREA MUCH TOO FAST. THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LIFTING
FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS TO THE GREAT LAKES REGION WILL SWING A
COLD FRONT THROUGH WEDNESDAY THAT WILL FINALLY ALLOW A DRIER AIR
MASS INTO THE AREA. HOWEVER...AS THE FRONT APPROACHES...A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS IS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AS THE
FRONT PUSHES THROUGH. THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT WILL ALLOW MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
ALTHOUGH THE COLD FRONT SCOURS OUT THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...THE
LARGE PARENT LOW ROTATING AROUND OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND
NORTHEAST COULD OFFER ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR SOME CLOUDINESS OVER
NORTHERN SECTIONS THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. OUR NEXT WEATHER
MAKER MOVES FROM THE SOUTHWEST INTO THE MS RVR VLY SUNDAY AND
COULD START SPREADING RAIN INTO THE AREA EARLY MONDAY MORNING.
SOME SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE WITH THIS SYSTEM AS IT MOVES
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.
