757 FXUS62 KFFC 040716 AFDFFC Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 316 AM EDT Thu Jun 4 2026 ...Morning Area Forecast Discussion... .KEY MESSAGES... - Dry and seasonable conditions through at least the end of the week. - Diurnally driven showers and storms return Sunday and continue through the middle of next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Friday) Issued at 309 AM EDT Thu Jun 4 2026 Clear skies are again expected today as ridging and high pressure is centered over Georgia between the coastal low off the Outer Banks and the troughing over the plains. This will continue to keep winds out of the northeast which will also limit gulf moisture funneling into the area. As a result not only will rain chances be non existent, dewpoints will be pleasant for this time of year. Temps today will be a tad warmer than yesterday topping out in the low to mid 80s and lows will be in the mid 50s this morning and upper 50s for Friday morning. Overall a pleasant next couple of days of weather in store for early June so enjoy it while you can! && .LONG TERM... (Friday night through Wednesday) Issued at 309 AM EDT Thu Jun 4 2026 Drier and pleasant (for June) conditions look to persist at the start of the long term on Saturday, though dewpoints will begin to creep back into the 60s as the position of the surface high shifts into the west Atlantic. Any appreciable increase in PoPs still should hold off until Sunday as southwesterly flow around an upper ridge brings both resurgent moisture and shortwave disturbances to our west. Initially, most of our convection looks to remain of the diurnally-driven summerlike variety from late weekend into early next week. There are signals that a surface high building into New England early-to-mid week next week could send a backdoor front southward toward the region by midweek. Daytime temperatures will largely be near to slightly below normal, ranging through the 80s, while overnight lows will trend upward by late weekend into early next week into the upper 60s to near 70 as moisture returns. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 211 AM EDT Thu Jun 4 2026 SKC through most of the TAF period. FEW to SCT cirrus at 250kft are possible over CSG and MCN tomorrow afternoon. E winds continue at 7kt or less before a more SE trend overnight. //ATL Confidence...06Z Update... High confidence on all elements. Hernandez && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
