.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Saturday)
Issued at 216 PM EDT Fri Jun 5 2026

Highs in the mid to upper 80s with relative humidity falling into
the upper 40`s this afternoon. As a result pleasant weather is
expected to continue under high pressure. Winds out of the S will
become SW and ease to less than 5 mph through the day before
becoming light and variable during the overnight hours.

Another pleasant day tomorrow, with temperatures heating into the
upper 80s and low 90s as some of that southeast summer experience
starts to filter back in. Tomorrow will mark the last day in this
otherwise dry and pleasant pattern before we get a change in
atmosphere on Sunday. For more information, please see the long term
below.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday morning through next Thursday)
Issued at 216 PM EDT Fri Jun 5 2026

Long term forecast picks up on Sunday with sad news - Spring in June
is over and reality comes crashing back to us in the form of Gulf
moisture return. Dewpoints will have steadily been creeping upward
the past few days, but the expectation is that mid to upper 60s Tds
for the afternoon will once again join the party across north and
central Georgia by Sunday, bringing with it some diurnally drive
rain and thunderstorm chances across north Georgia where a little
better forcing will be present. For the next several days of the
long term, the CWA will be underneath a large upper level ridge that
will have a relatively strong trough on the Atlantic side and a weak
wave undercutting it towards the Great Plains. This will favor a
surface high sitting just off the coast that should continue pumping
moisture into the area that is aided by the disturbance to the west.
Diurnal chances of showers and thunderstorms will likely be in place
each day through Thursday as a result. No widespread severe weather
is expected given lack of forcing, but any storm in Georgia during
the summer is capable of briefly reaching severe thresholds. Daily
chances may vary somewhat from the current forecast given how
"worked over" the atmosphere is from any given day and easily we can
recover in the upper levels.
