ISSUED AT 332 AM EDT MON JUL 6 2026
CURRENT RADAR LOOP SHOWS THE LINGERING SHOWERS FROM YESTERDAY HAVE
FINALLY DISSIPATED. SEEING SOME LOW CEILINGS AND FOG DEVELOPING
ACROSS THE ARE SO WILL NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THAT THROUGH
DAYBREAK. EXPECTING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW CONTINUES
ACROSS THE REGION. WITH DAYTIME HIGHS EXPECTED IN THE 90S AGAIN
TODAY WE SHOULD SEE A VERY SIMILAR SETUP WITH THE DIURNALLY
DRIVEN CONVECTION AS WE HAVE SEEN THE PAST FEW DAYS. WITH
INCREASED MOISTURE AND AN OLD WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY STILL LAYING
ACROSS THE AREA ACTING AS A CATALYST WE COULD SEE A FEW STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS, CAPABLE OF PRODUCING FREQUENT LIGHTNING
STRIKES AND DAMAGING WINDS UP TO 60 MPH. SPC HAS THE ENTIRE STATE
UNDER A GENERAL THUNDERSTORM RISK TODAY. BEST TIMEFRAME FOR
CONVECTIVE STORMS LOOKS TO BE BETWEEN 2-10PM. WE COULD STILL SEE
SOME STORMS BEGIN A BIT EARLIER AND LINGER A LITTLE LATER.
WITH TEMPS EXPECTED BACK INTO THE 90S, AND INCREASED MOISTURE,
THIS WILL BRING HEAT INDEX VALUES INTO THE 104 TO 107 DEG RANGE
ACROSS PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL GA. WE CURRENTLY HAVE A HEAT
ADVISORY ACROSS THIS AREA OF THE STATE.

HOT TEMPERATURES AND DAILY CHANCES FOR RAIN.
BROAD TROUGHING WILL BE THE MAIN FEATURE THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH AN
UPPER LOW SITTING OVER THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS THROUGH AT
LEAST MID-WEEK, THEN THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW OPENS UP TO ALLOW A FEW
DISTURBANCES TO MOVE OVER THE AREA LATE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.

PORTION OF THE AREA EACH DAY THIS WEEK BUT VARY FROM DAY TO DAY.
SLIGHTLY DRIER CONDITIONS ARE NOW FAVORED WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY
WHILE POPS GENERALLY REMAIN AROUND 20-35% TUESDAY AND FRIDAY. AN
UPTICK IN RAIN CHANCES IS SEEN FOR THE WEEKEND THROUGH GUIDANCE DOES
SHOW SOME SPREAD IN THE OVERALL PATTERN THIS FAR OUT.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONABLE VALUES WITH HEAT
INDEX VALUES IN THE UPPER 90S TO LOW 100S EACH DAY. SOME LOCATIONS,
PARTICULARLY IN THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE AREA, MAY STILL
