.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 203 AM EDT Mon Sep 29 2025
A quiet morning to start the work week across north and central
Georgia under mostly clear skies with a light easterly breeze and
humid temps in the mid to upper 60s. These conditions are being
driven by two primary synoptic features, a nearly stationary mid-
level low over the Carolinas, and Tropical Storm Imelda over the
Bahamas. While Imelda will not have any direct impacts on our
area, it will influence the weather conditions through mid-week.
That begins today, as low-level easterly flow across the region
strengthens due to the influence of Imelda, and moisture pooled
over the Carolinas will start to be brought into the eastern half
of the state. This will lead to increasing cloud cover, but there
will only be enough moisture around to support isolated showers
and thunderstorms (10-20% PoPs), primarily during the afternoon
and evening hours. The breezy easterly winds (sustained 10-15 mph
with gusts of 20-25 mph) and high temperatures in the low 80s will
make it feel a bit cooler than recent days.
Tonight through Tuesday morning, the stout easterly winds will
continue to pool low level moisture over the area and lead to
humid low temps in the mid to upper 60s. Despite the moisture,
rain chances will again be low, with only isolated showers and
thunderstorms during the afternoon and early evening. These will
be primarily focused across far north and northeast GA, where the
mid-level low will retrograde over as Imelda shifts east into the
Atlantic. The east-northeast surface winds will remain breezy, and
high temps will again climb into the upper 70s to low 80s.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 203 AM EDT Mon Sep 29 2025
By Wednesday when the longterm period starts, Imelda will be
curving to the east as the cut off low that has been weakly
spinning over the eastern CONUS pushes off into the Atlantic
behind Imelda and Humberto. In it`s place a dome of high pressure
looks to settle in across much of the southeast as early as
Wednesday afternoon. This high pressure will filter in cool and
dry conditions across the area with high temps into the mid 70s
through Friday before warming just slightly into the weekend with
the potential return of moisture late in the long term period. For
Wednesday-Thursday the area will be still wedged between the low
pressure system pushing off into the Atlantic with Imelda and the
high pressure settling into the area. As a result the pressure
gradient that sets up will lead to much of the area experiencing
breezy conditions up to 25mph. With Imelda pushing further east
over the latest runs, model guidance has backed off on higher wind
gusts over the area so we are not expecting winds to reach wind
advisory criteria at this time. Overall should see nice fall like
conditions through at least Friday!
Into the weekend is where the potential for rain comes back into
the forecast with PoPs topping out at 25% for now over central
Georgia. It`s a bit too far out to put specifics into it but
models are indicating a swing of energy as a low pressure system
pushes across the gulf coast increasing moisture along our central
Georgia counties. May get some marginal relief for areas that
desperately need the rainfall!

to mid-morning for the ATL area sites. MCN and AHN likely stay in
BKN-OVC MVFR CIGs after 14Z, with ISO SHRA also possible 20-00Z.
Widespread MVFR to IFR CIGs likely develop at all sites after 00Z
this evening. E/ENE winds will pick up from late morning through
the evening with gusts up to 20kts.
//ATL Confidence...06Z Update...
Medium confidence on CIGs.
High confidence on remaining elements.
