SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 220 AM EDT MON SEP 7 2026
COOLER, BREEZY, AND MOSTLY DRY THROUGH TUESDAY:
IN THE WAKE OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY, A WEDGE-LIKE PATTERN WILL SETUP
ACROSS MOST OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA TODAY. BREEZY EASTERLY
WINDS WILL USHER IN A 'COOLER' AIRMASS, WHICH WILL PROVIDE SOME
MUCH NEEDED RELIEF FROM THE RECENT STRETCH OF HEAT. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO CLIMB ABOVE THE LOW TO MID 80S FOR
MOST OF NORTH GA, WITH UPPER 80S ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA.
WHILE THE AIRMASS WILL BE COOLER AND A LITTLE DRIER, THERE WILL
STILL BE ENOUGH MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TO SUPPORT ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND WEAK THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE DAY. TONIGHT
INTO TUESDAY, A MID-LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE SOUTH-CENTRAL US WILL
EXPAND EAST OVER OUR AREA. SUBSIDENCE FROM THE RIDGE COMBINED WITH
EVEN DRIER AIR MOVING IN WITHIN THE BREEZY EASTERLY FLOW WILL
RESULT IN VERY LOW RAIN CHANCES. TEMPERATURES IN THE MORNING WILL
BE AROUND THE UPPER 60S, AND THEN CLIMB TO THE MID TO UPPER 80S
IN THE AFTERNOON.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 220 AM EDT MON SEP 7 2026
BROAD MIDLEVEL RIDGING EXTENDING ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES
MIDWEEK WILL BEGIN FLATTENING AS A TROUGH DIGS INTO THE GREAT
LAKES REGION. BY THURSDAY, THE CORE OF THE RIDGE WILL HAVE SHIFTED
WELL WESTWARD INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN US WITH TROUGHING DIGGING
FARTHER SOUTHEASTWARD BY THE WEEK'S END.
MEANWHILE, AT THE SURFACE, EASTERLY FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH AN
EARLY- WEEK CAD SETUP WILL TRANSITION TO THE SOUTHWEST BY THURSDAY
IN RESPONSE TO THE SURFACE HIGH DEPARTING EASTWARD AND A COLD
FRONT DROPPING INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. AS SUCH, POPS LOOK TO
INCREASE MOST APPRECIABLY BY THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AS MOISTURE IS
PULLED BACK NORTHWARD IN ADVANCE OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL PROVIDE IMPETUS FOR INCREASED
CONVECTIVE COVERAGE HEADING INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES ARE CONCERNED, THE INITIAL EARLY WEEK
"COOLDOWN" TO MORE NORMAL LEVELS FOR SEPTEMBER WILL REVERT BACK TO
A WARMING TREND THROUGH LATE WEEK. ABOVE-NORMAL HIGHS IN THE 90S
MAKE A RETURN WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES LIKELY CREEPING BACK INTO THE
UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100 FOR MANY.
