SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 303 AM EDT SAT MAY 30 2026
CURRENT RADAR SHOWS ONGOING LINGERING SHOWERS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA. THESE SHOWERS REMAIN LIGHT, GIVING MANY
AREAS BENEFICIAL SLOWER RAINFALL VERSUS THE HEAVY RAIN RATES FROM
THE AFTERNOON. SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS AND
PATCHY FOG ARE DEVELOPING AND ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH
SUNRISE WITH VISIBILITIES LESS THAN 4-5SM IN MANY AREAS,
ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO RECEIVED QUITE A BIT OF RAINFALL YESTERDAY.
FOR TODAY, EXPECTING SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS TO PICK UP
AGAIN DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING TIMEFRAME. THIS WILL
BE GENERALLY CENTERED ON THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AGAIN AND WHERE IT
SETTLES FOR THE DAY. CAMS INDICATE THIS WILL BE SOMEWHERE CLOSER
TO NORTHEAST GEORGIA TODAY FOR MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY BUT CANNOT
RULE OUT MORE ISOLATED POP UPS IN THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN PORTIONS
OF GEORGIA. MORE EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER WILL ALSO LIKELY LIMIT THE
AREAL COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON BUT WITH ENOUGH
MOISTURE IN THE AREA LIKELY TO STILL SEE A COUPLE OF RUMBLES OF
THUNDER IN ISOLATED AREAS. GENERAL CONCERNS WILL YET AGAIN BE
SHOWERS IN A HIGH PWAT ENVIRONMENT THAT COULD LEAD TO ISOLATED
INSTANCES OF FLASH FLOODING.
SUNDAY, RAIN CHANCES PUSH MORE TO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN GEORGIA AS
THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH MORE TOWARDS FLORIDA. THIS IN
CONJUNCTION WITH A WEDGE SETTING UP OVER THE NORTHEAST WILL
ULTIMATELY GIVE NORTHERN AND EASTERN GEORGIA A BIT OF A BREAK
FROM RAINFALL CHANCES WHILE CENTRAL GEORGIA CONTINUES TO SEE
RAINFALL. BEST TIMING FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
AGAIN BE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING TIMEFRAME. HIGH
TEMPERATURES SUNDAY WILL BE BELOW AVERAGE IN THE LOW TO MID 70S
FOR MUCH OF THE AREA.
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 303 AM EDT SAT MAY 30 2026
THE SAME FORECAST WILL PRETTY MUCH RUN THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF
NEXT WEEK WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S AND LOW 80S AND AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS FORMING BETWEEN 2-3PM AND FALLING APART AGAIN AFTER
10PM. NO SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED, AND THE ONLY REAL CONCERN WE
CONTINUE TO MONITOR IS THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING; PRIMARILY
IN THE URBAN AREAS.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE, WE'RE BEGINNING TO SEE A PRETTY GOOD
SIGN OF A PATTERN SHIFT COME TUESDAY AND INTO WEDNESDAY. A CUT OFF
LOW OUT OF NEW ENGLAND WILL MAKE IT'S WAY SOUTH INTO THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION, SETTING UP HIGH PRESSURE DOWN THE SPINE OF THE
APPALACHIANS AND INTO THE SE. THE RAIN SHOULD HOLD OFF THEN UNTIL
NEXT WEEKEND.
