.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Tuesday)
Issued at 157 PM EST Mon Nov 3 2025

Fair and tranquil weather conditions are expected through the short-
term period (Tonight through Tuesday Night) for North and Central GA
as surface high pressure and the eastern fringes of a mid-level
ridge become situated across the Southeast. Under clearing skies
temperatures this afternoon will continue to climb into the upper
50s/low 60s in North GA and upper 60s to near 70s across south-
central GA. Tonight, temperatures will fall back into the upper 30s
to low 40s areawide. Any patchy frost formation is more likely to be
confined to far northeast GA where temperatures fall in the mid-30s.
Similar to the previous forecast, elected to hold off on any
issuance of a Frost Advisory.

Generally a rinse and repeat forecast expected for Tuesday minus any
morning cloud cover/fog/mist. Temperatures are likely to be a few
degrees warmer than today as high pressure builds.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday morning through next Sunday)
Issued at 157 PM EST Mon Nov 3 2025

Feeling a bit like a broken record this afternoon for the long term
forecast, but very little change outside of some small increase in
confidence for the timing of precip chances over the weekend. A weak
clipper type system is still progged to swing over the northeast
US Wednesday, but should remain north of the CWA. Temperatures
continue warming from Wednesday through Friday as a new surface
high slides in behind that clipper system. Expect high in the 70s
and lows in the 40s. Models continue to show a bifurcated jet
with a wave progressing through the southern branch and possibly
phasing with one in the northern branch that will bring a front
into north and central Georgia sometime Friday night into
Saturday. GEFS and Euro ensemble has definitely honed in on this
time period with some support among the Euro-AI and GFS-AI
ensembles. Some questions remain around exact timing, strength of
the front/wave, and moisture availability. Moisture return on
Friday into Friday night with potential rain/cloud cover will mean
warmer overnight lows.

The next system on the horizon may be at the beginning of next week,
which could bring another shot of cold air into north and central
Georgia with frost/freeze possibilities, especially in northern
Georgia. A little far out to speak with any confidence on this, so
this is mostly for awareness for those who need to make longer term
plans for outdoor crops, etc.
