...Afternoon Area Forecast Discussion...

.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 234 PM EDT Sat Nov 1 2025

 -  An approaching upper low will bring increasing shower coverage
    Sunday afternoon into Sunday night with rainfall totals
    predominately a quarter inch or less with locally higher
    amounts.

 - Gradual warming trend through the week. Temperatures will reach
   into the 70s for highs across north and central Georgia.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Sunday)
Issued at 234 PM EDT Sat Nov 1 2025

Mostly clear skies this afternoon will give way to increasing high
clouds this evening and overnight. These clouds come in advance of
an upper low currently dropping quickly southeastward across the Mid-
Mississippi Valley. These denser upper clouds will help limit
radiational cooling overnight with low temperatures Sunday morning
some 10+ degrees warmer than this morning, particularly across north
Georgia, though some patchy upper 30s remain possible in southeastern
counties where cloud cover will not arrive as early. As such, no
frost concerns are anticipated Sunday morning.

The upper low will slip from northern Alabama into western/north
Georgia by Sunday night, bringing increasing coverage of rain
showers. Relatively low PWATs of 0.50-0.75" will limit rainfall
intensity, though the persistent nature of the showers Sunday
afternoon into Sunday night could allow a few areas to tally up
rainfall totals over 0.25", particularly across the western
half of the area. Even so, many areas will see less than 0.10-0.25"
when all is said and done. Very limited instability will keep
thunderstorm chances to a minimum, though a few rumbles of thunder
aren`t out of the question.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday morning through next Friday)
Issued at 234 PM EDT Sat Nov 1 2025

System expected to bring some light rain through Sunday night into
Monday morning should be exiting the area at the beginning of the
long term forecast. Some lingering showers may be possible during
the morning hours on Monday, especially in portions of east central
Georgia, but expect skies to start to clear up pretty quickly. Highs
will be in the 60s as a surface high pressure builds in behind the
departing system.

This will begin a very gradual warming trend through the long term.
Anticyclonic rossby wave break will wash over the eastern CONUS
in the wake of the departing system on Monday bringing a bit more
zonal look to the upper levels for Tuesday and early Wednesday.
Air mass under surface high will see gradual modification from
daily solar insulation (sun make ground warm, ground heat air)
that bring temps into the 70s across most everywhere outside the
mountains. Wednesday evening will see a trough get organized and
quickly dive into the Northeast, but system will struggle to make
any connections to moisture from the south keeping it dry on the
southern extent. Additionally, any front is expected to stall
before reaching the CWA. Temperatures will remain mostly the same
to the end of the week, where another system may approach into the
weekend, though uncertainty on timing and strength is a bit
higher.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)

cigs will increase this evening with midlevel cigs 5-10 kft
increasing after 12Z Sunday. Iso/sct SHRA will become possible
after 20-22Z Sunday. NE to E winds will prevail at speeds 4-8 kts,
