.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 107 PM EST Thu Nov 20 2025

 - Above normal temperatures will stick around into next week.
   Highs will be 10-15 degrees above average through the weekend.
   A few record highs may be broken over the coming days at
   climate sites.

 - Light rainfall is possible across north Georgia this evening
   into the overnight. Another round is possible Friday evening
   into Saturday morning, though this likely won`t be heavy enough
   to lead to drought improvement.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 512 AM EST Thu Nov 20 2025

Soupy conditions will start off this morning with dense fog as
low as a quarter mile for much of the CWA. Conditions are expected
to improve after sunrise with most of the fog burning off around
10AM. A dense fog advisory covers most of west and northwest
Georgia, though it may need to be expanded closer towards sunrise.

Warm and humid conditions will remain in place today with highs
in the upper 70s and low 80s with dewpoints in the mid 60s region
wide. This will likely create foggy conditions again overnight and
into tomorrow morning as the moisture lingers.

Winds will remain light through the day and overnight lows in the
mid 60s tonight into Friday will be unseasonably warm; running
nearly 20 degrees above normal.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 512 AM EST Thu Nov 20 2025

No return to November-like temperatures is in the immediate
future as warm temperatures will persevere through the coming
weekend. At the start of the weekend on Saturday, some lingering
light rain showers will be possible as a weak trailing cold front
sags across the area. Coverage should be fairly limited with the
greatest chance primarily in north Georgia in the morning as upper
support and forcing diminishes through the afternoon. High
pressure returns for Sunday in the wake of the front with the
post-frontal airmass remaining unseasonably warm and only
marginally drier.

Surface high pressure begins to be shunted northeastward by
Monday as a cutoff low lifts out of the Intermountain West and
into the Plains. This looks to herald a more active weather
pattern heading into next week with an initial increase in PoPs
possible by Tuesday as the associated cold front approaches.
Still, broad uncertainty remains regarding potential QPF. Any
significant cooldown will also hold off until at least late next
week in the wake of any frontal passage.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 107 PM EST Thu Nov 20 2025

CIGs have gradually improved through the morning, with mainly VFR
CONDs expected through the remainder of the afternoon and
evening. CIGs and VIS will be forecast challenges overnight into
tomorrow (Friday) morning, as at this time, coverage of low clouds
and reduced VIS looks to be lower/patchier than what occurred
this morning. Given this uncertainty, have FEW/SCT IFR/MVFR clouds
and reduced VIS in most of the TAFs overnight into tomorrow
morning. Winds will be light out of the SW at ATL today, becoming
light/VRB to calm this evening.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
Low confidence on coverage/evolution of low clouds and reduced VIS
overnight into tomorrow morning.
