.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Thursday)
Issued at 325 AM EDT Wed May 29 2024

High pressure continues to build into the area with a drier airmass
in place. Should see mostly clear skies Today with some increasing
clouds Thursday as a weak wave moves SE across western and southern
GA. A few spots may see an isolated shower or two Thu as this wave
moves through. High temps today will be mainly in the 80s across the
area Today and a bit cooler Thu with the increased cloud cover.
Thursdays highs will be mainly in the 70s to lower 80s.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 325 AM EDT Wed May 29 2024

Moisture is expected to make a slow but steady return to the CWA
over the long term forecast period. Friday will see a highly
amplified ridge being diabatically pumped over part of the eastern
CONUS with trough digging just offshore. Some rain or showers may
return in the form of heavily decayed systems from the west by
Friday, with some diurnal convection in W central GA possible.
Chances of seeing diurnal convection will spread east by Saturday.
Overnight Saturday into Sunday, a weak shortwave/convectively
induced vortmax will pass to the north of the CWA, allowing for
some moisture pooling and higher overall chances of seeing showers
and thunderstorms. Not expecting anything organized or severe at
this time. More summer like airmass settles in as we have
southerly winds return by the beginning of next week, allowing for
diurnally driven chances of pop up airmass storms.

Highs may be a bit on the cooler side for late May/early June to
start the long term forecast period thanks to some cloud cover and
rain chances. Steady warming trend into the upper 80s and 90s by
the beginning of next week. Welcome to summer.
