SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 129 AM EST TUE FEB 10 2026
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ROUNDING THE NORTHERN EDGE
OF A SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM SITUATED ACROSS FLORIDA AND THE
GULF, NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA ARE POISED TO CONTINUE TO TREND ON
THE WARM SIDE. REBOUNDING MOISTURE WILL SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF
PATCHY DENSE FOG THIS MORNING (PRIMARILY FOR AREAS TO THE SOUTH AND
WEST OF THE I-20 AND I-16 CORRIDORS). ANY FOG THAT FORMS WILL FOLLOW
THE TYPICAL DIURNAL CYCLE OF DISSIPATION -- LIFTING AND SCATTERING
BY MID-MORNING -- BUT BE SURE TO BE CAUTIOUS ON THE MORNING COMMUTE.
HIGHS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE IN THE UPPER 60S TO 70S AREAWIDE, ON
THE ORDER OF 10 TO 20 DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE AS WE APPROACH MID-
FEBRUARY.
THE COMBINATION OF WARM, MOIST SURFACE WINDS AND INCREASING STRATUS
WILL LEAD TO MUCH WARMER LOWS, IN THE 50S TO NEAR 60, ON WEDNESDAY
MORNING. SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP OVERNIGHT TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY
MORNING AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT, LINGERING INTO THE
EVENING FOR SOME LOCALES AS GRADUAL CLEARING OCCURS FROM NORTHWEST
TO SOUTHEAST. RAINFALL TOTALS WILL REMAIN ON THE LIGHT SIDE, WITH UP
TO HALF OF AN INCH POSSIBLE ACROSS FAR NORTHEAST GEORGIA, TAPERING
OFF TO JUST A TENTH OF AN INCH (OR LESS) ACROSS OUR FAR SOUTHERN
TIER. HIGHS WILL BE A TICK COOLER ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I-20/I-85
INTERCHANGE (OWING TO INCREASED CLOUD COVER), TOPPING OUT IN THE
60S. AREAS FURTHER SOUTH, WHERE ACCUMULATIONS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE
MINIMAL TO NEGLIGIBLE, WILL CONTINUE TO SEE HIGHS IN THE LOW-TO-MID
70S.
LONG TERM
(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 129 AM EST TUE FEB 10 2026
BY WEDNESDAY EVENING, RAINFALL WILL HAVE FOR THE MOST PART PUSHED
SOUTH OF THE AREA WITH ONLY LINGERING LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS OVER FAR
CENTRAL GEORGIA AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO PUSH SOUTHWARD. BULK OF
ANY ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY. COULD SEE GUSTY
WINDS UP TO 20-25MPH ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
FOLLOWING THE RAINFALL PASSES THROUGH. RIDGING WILL STILL BE THE
MAIN FOCUS FOR THE LATER HALF OF THE WEEKEND WHICH WILL CONTRIBUTE
TO TEMPERATURES CONTINUING TO TOP OUT IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S.
RIDGING TURNS TO MORE ZONAL FLOW BEFORE FRIDAY WHEN WE BEGIN TO SEE
THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM FORM OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION. INTO
SATURDAY SHOULD SEE THIS SYSTEM PUSH EASTWARD BEFORE FULLY ENTERING
OUR AREA ON SUNDAY WHICH WILL LEAD TO WIDESPREAD RAIN CHANCES. OF
NOTE, IS MODELS HAVE BACKED OFF ON THE NORTHERN STREAM OF ENERGY AND
ARE MORE FOCUSED ON THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE
WHICH ALSO INCLUDES MORE AGREEMENT ON THE POTENTIAL FOR A CLOSED LOW
TO PUSH INTO THE AREA. THIS ULTIMATELY CONFINES OUR PRECIP CHANCES
TO SUNDAY WITH ~70-80% SHOWN AT THIS TIME. IN ADDITION TO THIS
SYSTEM, WEDGE LOOKS TO SETUP OVER THE NORTHEAST INTO THE WEEKEND
WHICH WILL LEAD TO REDUCED TEMPERATURES IN THIS AREA WHILE THE
REMAINDER OF THE AREA WON'T SEE REDUCED TEMPERATURES UNTIL WE SEE
THE INCREASED RAIN CHANCES. SEVERE THREAT REMAINS LOW AT THIS TIME
WITH INCREASED RAINFALL TOTALS ON SUNDAY.
