SHORT TERM
(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 255 PM EDT TUE OCT 13 2026
VERY WARM AND DRY WEATHER IS ON TAP FOR MOST OF THIS WEEK ACROSS
NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA AS A MID-LEVEL RIDGE AND SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER THE SOUTHEAST US. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE AROUND 10-15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL THE NEXT
FEW DAYS, WITH MOST AREAS REACHING THE MID TO UPPER 80S. WE COULD
SEE A FEW RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES SET, WHICH ARE LISTED IN THE
CLIMATE SECTION BELOW. WITH AN EXCELLENT SETUP FOR RADIATIONAL
COOLING AT NIGHT (CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS), TEMPERATURES WILL
FALL TO THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S AT NIGHT. AS WE'VE SEEN THE LAST
FEW MORNINGS, THIS SETUP WILL ALSO SUPPORT PATCHY DENSE FOG IN
LOW-LYING / VALLEY AREAS AROUND SUNRISE.
LONG TERM
(THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH NEXT MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 255 PM EDT TUE OCT 13 2026
A MID-/UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE AND ASSOCIATED HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN
PLACE ACROSS MUCH OF THE EASTERN CONUS ON THURSDAY. THE RESULT
WILL BE ANOTHER DAY OF HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER
90S, WHICH MAY MATCH OR BREAK RECORDS.
A COLD FRONT -- DRIVEN BY A STOUT MID-/UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH
SHIFTING ACROSS THE NORTHEAST AND MID-ATLANTIC -- WILL PUSH
THROUGH NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA BETWEEN FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND
SATURDAY AFTERNOON, BRINGING A NOTICEABLE DROP IN TEMPERATURES.
LOW TEMPS ON SATURDAY MORNING ARE FORECAST TO BE SOME 10-15
DEGREES COOLER THAN FRIDAY MORNING, WITH SIMILAR DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN SATURDAY AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPS AND FRIDAY AFTERNOON HIGH
TEMPS. TEMPERATURES POST-FROPA WILL BE NEAR-NORMAL FOR MID-
OCTOBER. NOTABLY, LOWS IN THE MOUNTAINS ON SATURDAY, SUNDAY, AND
MONDAY MORNINGS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S,
WITH MID-40S TO UPPER 40S AS FAR SOUTH AS LAGRANGE TO MACON TO
SWAINSBORO.
ACCOMPANYING THE COLD FRONT WILL BE GUSTY CONDITIONS, WITH
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15-20 MPH AND GUSTS OF 25-35 MPH ON THE TABLE.
THE COOLER CONDITIONS SHOULD HINDER ANY FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS,
EVEN AMID THE DRY, GUSTY WEATHER. THE DRYING, STABILIZING EFFECTS
OF HIGH PRESSURE IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THE FROPA WILL LIMIT
MOISTURE RETURN AHEAD OF THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH, SO RAIN
CHANCES REMAIN ESSENTIALLY ZERO THROUGH THE LONG-TERM PERIOD.
