.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 308 AM EST Mon Nov 3 2025

Low clouds (generally 500 feet or lower) have developed across
much of north and central Georgia overnight, along with fog and
mist. The sky will clear by late morning as daytime heating and
mixing begin. Zooming out, the mid-/upper-level low that brought
the rain and storms yesterday and earlier tonight is currently
shifting east of the County Warning Area (CWA). A mid-/upper-level
ridge and surface high pressure will nudge in from the west
through the day, making for dry conditions and ample sunshine.
Similar to yesterday, high temperatures will be in the 60s across
much of the CWA with lower 70s across parts of central Georgia.

Dry conditions and little (if any) cloud cover overnight will
allow temperatures to drop into the upper 30s to mid-40s.
Temperatures are forecast to reach the mid-30s in the northeast
Georgia mountains, and with high enough relative humidity and
little to no wind, frost may form. Given the likely localized area
of frost formation, have not issued a Frost Advisory. Tomorrow
(Tuesday) will bring dry conditions and ample sunshine once again,
supporting high temperatures several degrees warmer than those
today -- in the mid-60s to mid-70s.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 308 AM EST Mon Nov 3 2025

Overall very pleasant (dry and mild) conditions are expected
across North and Central Georgia through the remainder of the
upcoming week. Following the passage of an upper-level trough
pushing through the region Monday night, expansive upper-level
ridging will spread into the area from over the northern Gulf.
This ridge and accompanying surface high pressure will have a grip
on Georgia for most of the week, reinforcing a dry and gradually
warming airmass over the region. Guidance is coming into better
agreement that a stout shortwave will drop across the Midwest and
Eastern US late Friday into Saturday, squashing out the ridge and
allowing broad troughing to set up over the Eastern US for the
rest of the weekend. The initial shortwave and associated frontal
boundary may bring our next chance at rainfall in north and
central Georgia late Friday into Saturday, with another round
possible Sunday, but confidence is low at this time.

High temperatures will be a bit warmer than normal through the
period, reaching the low to mid 70s from Wed-Sat, and cooling a
few degrees on Sunday. Lows will range from the low to mid 40s on
Wed, and start to climb from there with a warming airmass and some
cloud cover around, ranging from the mid to upper 40s for Thu-
Fri, and low to mid 50s for Sat-Sun.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 308 AM EST Mon Nov 3 2025

The forecast challenge overnight will be somewhat localized
IFR/LIFR CIGs and VIS. These low clouds and reduced VIS have
already developed at/near the metro Atlanta terminals. There is
more uncertainty regarding if AHN, MCN, and CSG see development of
similar conditions. None of these sites currently have low CIGs
or low VIS in the TAFs, but this could change if said conditions
development further or spread. The sky will clear by 14z-16z and
winds will be NW to due N at 5-10 kts during the day.

//ATL Confidence...06Z Update...
Low to medium confidence on evolution/coverage of CIGs and VIS.
High confidence on all other elements.
