.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 322 AM EDT Tue May 28 2024

A much needed respite for the short term forecast. The final showers
and rumbles of thunder are exiting central GA. We saw one rogue
storm pop up in N AL, but it quickly dissipated and further
development is unlikely. Monitoring for the development of haze and
some very patchy fog across north and central GA. If vsby trends
continue to decrease, SPS may be needed. But not expecting this to
develop into a widespread issue at this time that would warrant DFA
issuance as some drier air is filtering in behind the front.

Today and into tomorrow, broad trough with embedded shortwaves will
continue to rotate through eastern CONUS. Dry air filtering in will
likely prevent any convection today in our post frontal airmass.
Highs will be warm, reaching 80s across the area with a few pockets
of lower 90s in central GA. Could be a bit breezy as we`ll be well
mixed in the boundary layer, allowing for some occasional momentum
transfer to the surface from aloft. Have also lowered dewpoints a
good bit compared to most guidance for similar reasons.

Tomorrow looks similar, though some guidance shows a vortmax
passes near central GA that could allow for enough lift for some
showers or a Tstorm. Given surface will be dry, these would be
quite elevated and likely isolated. Combined with high overall
uncertainty in this feature, have chosen not to introduce any
PoPs. Highs will be a bit cooler in the 80s across the area, but
still plenty warm. Summer is knocking on the door.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 322 AM EDT Tue May 28 2024

The extended forecast starts off dry with high pressure dominating
the weather pattern. Will see some increased cloud cover Thu but
the ridge should keep things dry through the end of the week.
Will also see some slightly cooler temps Thu, Fri, and Sat with
highs mainly in the upper 70s and 80s. Moisture begins to creep
back in for the weekend and could see some low chance precip
chances move back in for Sat through Mon.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 645 AM EDT Tue May 28 2024

VFR through TAF period. Low cigs/vsbys have mostly remained out of
metro TAF sites this morning and with sun up, no impacts expected.
CSG is dealing with some IFR/LIFR cigs and vsbys, but this should
burn off in next hour or two. Main impact during afternoon will be
winds from W to NW of 8-13 kts with gusts at or just above 20 kts
possible. SKC conditions otherwise. Winds will decrease tonight.
