.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 343 AM EST Tue Nov 4 2025

Today and Tonight: A seasonably cool morning is underway with
lows in the upper 30s to mid 40s. Lows in the mid-30s are expected
in the northeast Georgia mountains, with patchy frost possible in
areas sheltered from the breeze. A mid-/upper-level ridge and
surface high pressure will bring plentiful sunshine and mild
temperatures today. Temperatures are forecast to reach the lower
to mid 70s across much of the County Warning Area (CWA). A clear
sky will persist tonight, but increasingly southerly low-level
flow will keep overnight/early Wednesday morning lows seasonably
cool once again -- in the 40s.

Wednesday: A subtle pattern change will occur on the synoptic
scale across the eastern CONUS as the aforementioned ridge is
eroded as a shortwave trough treks across the Ohio River Valley
and Mid-Atlantic. Given that the CWA will be well south of this
shortwave, nothing will change with our sensible weather -- it
will still be sunny and dry. A dry cold front will push southward
across the Tennessee Valley with cirrus clouds in tow. Far north
Georgia will see these high clouds in the mid-afternoon through
the evening. The mild airmass will further warm, with highs in
the 70s across most of the CWA.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 343 AM EST Tue Nov 4 2025

Pleasant (dry and mild) conditions persist across North and
Central GA on Thursday and most of Friday as a dry airmass remains
in place and surface high pressure sits over the region.
Temperatures will be warm both days, with highs in the low to mid
70s and overnight lows in the mid to upper 40s. Throughout the day
on Friday, a stout upper-level shortwave and associated frontal
boundary will be rapidly moving across the central/northern Plains
into the Midwest US and OH Valley. While there is still
uncertainty on the timing and strength of this system, confidence
continues to grow that this will be our next shot at rain, as
moisture ahead of and along this system spreads across GA Friday
evening and overnight. Some moisture will likely linger in the
area through the rest of the weekend, but would only support
isolated showers at most. Temps would remain mild as the airmass
wouldn`t cool much behind the system. Following this, the next
notable system that guidance is starting to lock onto is a deep
upper level low developing across the Eastern US early next week,
which could bring a shot of cold dry air and decent frost/freeze
chances to the area, especially in north GA. Confidence this far
out is VERY low, but still worth mentioning for those who need to
make long term plans with maintaining outdoor crops.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1240 AM EST Tue Nov 4 2025

The forecast period will be SKC for all terminals. No
restrictions to VIS are expected. The only noteworthy forecast
variable will be a wind shift from NW/NNW early this morning to NE
around mid-morning and then E/ESE by late morning. Current best
estimation for the wind shift timing from the W side to the E side
at ATL is between 12z and 14z. Wind speeds are expected to be
light (~6 kts or less) during the wind shift.

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