.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 410 AM EST Fri Nov 14 2025

High temps will continue to run on the warm side of normal through
the short term thanks to high pressure and relatively weak zonal
flow. Highs will be in the low to mid 70s with overnight lows in
the 40s. It remains on the dry side out there with afternoon
relative humidities falling into the 20s and 30s for most of the
CWA which will help to cool things off quickly once the sun starts
to set.

Southwest winds will start to bring some moisture back into the
area. Nothing that would suggest the possibility of some needed
rain, but enough to ease the need for chapstick.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 410 AM EST Fri Nov 14 2025

Dry and warm conditions will continue through the rest of the
weekend and into early next week across most of north and central
GA as ridging holds over the region. The only rain chances (<15%)
through Monday will be over the north GA mountains on Sunday
morning as a weak front pushes through the area, associated with
a distant low over the Northeast US. Confidence in the timing and
strength of smaller synoptic features starts to decrease from
this point on, but ensembles are in general agreement that the
longwave pattern over the CONUS will start to amplify and shift
from the middle to end of next week. This will be driven by a
potent mid-level trough dropping into the Southwest US, pushing
the mid-level ridge axis over the Southeast US. For the Tue/Wed
time period, guidance continues to show potential for a few
shortwaves and associated weak fronts to ride along the top of
the mid-level ridge, which could bring isolated rain showers to
north GA. The best chances for more meaningful rainfall look to be
sometime between Thursday and Saturday, as the mid-level ridge
breaks down and the stout mid-level trough slides across the
Southern Plains into the Southeast US. While this setup would
lead to decent rainfall chances across the area, confidence in
the pattern developing this way is still low at this time.

With mid-level ridging over the region through at least the
middle of next week, temperatures will remain well above normal
for this time of year. Highs will be in the 70s each day across
most of the area, with 60s in the north GA mountains. Overnight
lows will generally only fall to the 50s, with mid to upper 40s
in the north GA mountains.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 635 AM EST Fri Nov 14 2025

Light winds could be variable at times, but will start off on the
NNE side at around 3kts; gradually becoming SW after 18Z. VFR CIGS
and VIS are expected through the TAF cycle.

//ATL Confidence...12Z Update...
