.SHORT TERM...
-- Changed Discussion --
(This afternoon through Friday)
Issued at 217 PM EDT Thu May 30 2024

At a glance:

-Another nice short term

-Overnight lows in the 50s with highs in the low 80s.

Beautiful weather is expected this afternoon and tomorrow. RH
will fall into the 40s this afternoon leaving the area feeling
more like New England than the deep south. Winds will shift to the
east tonight and will mark the slow return to more humid
conditions this weekend.

Expect highs to continue to be in the low to mid 80s with
overnight lows in the 50s and 60s as we finish off the week with a
slow but steady increase in cloud coverage as Td starts to climb.

.LONG TERM...
-- Changed Discussion --
(Saturday morning through next Wednesday)
Issued at 217 PM EDT Thu May 30 2024

PoPs will begin to creep back into the forecast at the beginning
of the long term period as transient ridging gives way to an
incoming shortwave trough late Saturday. Still, Saturday will not
be a washout with scattered rain chances highest across the
western part of the state by late in the day into Saturday night.
More widespread scattered convection is likely on Sunday as
compared to Saturday amid continued influence of troughing.

Flow aloft will remain quasi-zonal through midweek, shunting
occasional shortwave perturbations eastward and keeping some
degree of isolated to scattered PoPs in the forecast, especially
across north Georgia. By late week, a cold front looks more likely
to approach the area by Thursday with PoPs likely to increase
further in association with this system.

High temperatures will remain largely in the 80s through Monday
with low 90s beginning to creep back into central Georgia by
midweek.

.AVIATION...
-- Changed Discussion --
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 122 AM EDT Fri May 31 2024

VFR conditions will prevail through the TAF period. Observations
show that winds at ATL have shifted to NNE/NE at this time. Winds
will be E at all sites through the day around 3-8 kts. Current
FEW/SCT cirrus will give way to increasing mid/upper clouds this
morning and afternoon. Not convinced that a true Cu field will
develop this afternoon, but SCT mid-level clouds (around 7 kft and
higher) are likely.

//ATL Confidence...06Z Update...
High confidence on all elements.
