.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 401 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025

Surface high pressure continues to dominate through today into
tomorrow. 500 mb heights show quick hitting shortwave trough moving
out of the Northeast putting surface high right over us here in the
southeast. Small upper level ridge within northwest flow to our
north will only serve to reinforce the surface high into Friday.
Temperatures will continue to warm with highs today in the upper 60s
to low 70s both today and tomorrow (tomorrow looks to be a few
degrees warmer than today for most locations). Dry air and clear
skies will allow lows to fall into the upper 30s to low 40s tonight.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 401 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025

At the start of the period surface high pressure will still be in
place and a midlevel ridge building across the Plains. Northwest
flow aloft will act to usher a few disturbances and weak surface
fronts through the region late weekend and next week. The first of
which will pass to our north on Sunday. Aside from a low potential
(< 15%) for rain showers across the northeast GA mountains early
Sunday morning most places will remain dry through Monday. The next
series of fronts will pass through the region between Tuesday and
Friday. Ensemble inconsistencies as far as exact timing of any
rainfall and the extent of rainfall remain. Thus, continue to
highlight low rain chances (15-30%) between Tuesday through Thursday
with the highest chances currently relegated across North GA.

With no notable change in the airmass that will be in place, warm
above normal temperatures are currently expected through the long
term period. Daytime highs are forecast to be in the 70s -- mid to
upper 60s in the mountains and mild overnight lows in the 40s and
50s.
