SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 332 AM EDT SUN OCT 25 2026
AS RIDGING CONTINUES OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS AND SHIFTS SLIGHTLY
EAST, OUR AREA WILL REMAIN IN A NORTHERLY FLOW THROUGH MONDAY. A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM FORMS OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST WHICH WILL ALLOW
FOR AIR TO BE FUNNELED INTO THE APPALACHIANS PUTTING OUR AREA
INTO A WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE. THIS PRESSURE GRADIENT SHOULD
RESULT IN BREEZY WINDS THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS UP TO
20-25MPH POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY OVER CENTRAL GEORGIA. SKIES WILL
REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR WITH ZERO RAIN CHANCES EXPECTED THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. TEMPS WILL HOVER JUST AROUND NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S. DEWPOINTS WERE LOWERED A TAD THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AS THE DRY AIRMASS STAYS SOLIDLY IN PLACE. RH VALUES WILL
BE JUST ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS TODAY. WINDS WILL BE JUST
OUTSIDE OF CRITICAL THRESHOLDS AS WELL. THIS WEATHER PATTERN
SHOULD BE A RINSE AND REPEAT FOR MONDAY.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 332 AM EDT SUN OCT 25 2026
LITTLE CHANGE IN THE FORECAST FOR THE LONG TERM. WHILE SOME
IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE HAPPENING AROUND THE
PERIPHERY OF THE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE NEXT WEEK, THE SENSIBLE
IMPACTS TO NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA WILL BE TO KEEP THINGS SUNNY
AND MOSTLY MILD WITH NO CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION.
UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT HAS BEEN MOSTLY CUT OFF FROM THE UPPER JET WILL
CONTINUE TO SPIN OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN COASTLINE TO START THE LONG
TERM INTO MONDAY NIGHT. A SURFACE LOW MAY FORM WITHIN THIS, WITH THE
PRIMARY IMPACT BEING TO CONTINUE OUR E TO ENE WIND DIRECTION THAT
KEEPS THE MILD AIR IN PLACE. A STRONGER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL DIVE
THROUGH THE NE DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, PUSHING ANOTHER SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE ACROSS THE NORTHERN APPALACHIANS. THIS WILL SETTLE INTO
PLACE THERE BY WEDNESDAY, PUSHING AIR DOWN THE APPALACHIANS ONCE
AGAIN THAT WILL JUST REINFORCE OUR CURRENT AIR MASS. ALL IN ALL,
THIS MEANS REPEATED DAYS OF HIGHS IN THE 70S AND LOWS IN THE 40S TO
UPPER 50S ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA, WITH LITTLE TO NO CHANCE OF RAIN.
AS WE MOVE TOWARDS HALLOWEEN, THERE IS SOME SIGNAL OF THINGS BEING A
TOUCH WARMER, BUT UNCERTAINTY REMAINS. MODEL SPREAD IS UPWARDS OF 10
DEGREES FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, IN PART DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY AROUND THE POSITION AND TIMING OF A WAVE OVER THE PLAINS
THAT COULD PULL IN WARM AIR ACROSS MUCH OF THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
COUNTRY. STAY TUNED, BUT CURRENT FORECAST WOULD PUT TEMPERATURES IN
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1246 PM EDT SUN OCT 25 2026
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THIS TAF PERIOD
WITH NO PRECIPITATION OR RESTRICTIONS TO VSBYS. WINDS WILL STAY
OUT OF THE E TO NE WITH SPEEDS IN THE 10-15KT RANGE WITH GUST TO
25KT THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. SPEEDS WILL DIMINISH TO 10KT OR LESS
OVERNIGHT THEN INCREASE AGAIN MON AFTERNOON. NOT EXPECTING SPEEDS
TO BE AS ELEVATED MONDAY.
