.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 124 PM EST Wed Dec 10 2025

    - Gusty winds will gradually subside overnight into early
      Thursday morning as a cooler airmass returns in the wake
      of a dry cold front.

 - Significant rainfall is not anticipated in the region through
    at least the middle of next week.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Thursday)
Issued at 124 PM EST Wed Dec 10 2025

Mostly sunny conditions for the bulk of the area this afternoon will
give way to some clouds from northwest to southeast this evening as
a cold front quickly sweeps across the area. Despite some increase
in cloud cover, this front will bring no precipitation, and dry
weather will continue to persist through the short term. Expect
gusty southwest winds in advance of the front through this evening
to transition to the northwest in the wake of the front tonight with
gusts as high as 25-30 mph and a few higher gusts to 35 mph at
times. Wind gusts will then gradually settle by Thursday morning.

A renewed shot of colder air will greet us by Thursday morning with
low temperatures at or below freezing for the bulk of north Georgia.
Despite mostly sunny skies, highs on Thursday will run around 10
degrees cooler than today as surface high pressure pushes overhead,
generally ranging from the upper 40s in north Georgia to low-to-mid
50s in Middle Georgia.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday morning through next Tuesday)
Issued at 124 PM EST Wed Dec 10 2025

High pressure settles into the region towards the end of the work
week brining with it dry conditions and seasonable temperatures.
Highs will gradually increase out of the 40s and 50s into the 60s
for most of the CWA by the time the weekend rolls around. The weak
warm front that pushes in will help to reduce the dry air, but could
be the source for some scattered showers as a cold front moves in on
Sunday.

The cold front brings in a reinforcing shot of dry cold air that
will start off next work week. Expect lows to fall back towards
freezing overnight with high temps in the 40s and 50s. There is a
low confidence chance of some scattered precip again on Wednesday of
next week it`s still too far out to say with any kind of certainty
what that weak impulse in the upper level flow will look like by the
time it rolls around.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1224 PM EST Wed Dec 10 2025

Primarily VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period. A
band of clouds will accompany a cold front this evening with a
brief window for intermittent MVFR cigs 2500-3000 ft at ATL sites
23-02Z. Otherwise, only mid/high cigs are expected. SW winds will
trend to NW by 00Z with speeds 12-16 kts and gusts as high as
25-28 kts with a gradual waning in speeds/gusts after 06Z.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
Medium confidence in patchy MVFR cig possibility.
High confidence on other elements.
