SHORT TERM
(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 215 PM EDT THU JUN 25 2026
A WEAK LOW CENTER MOVING EAST ACROSS CENTRAL/SOUTH GA WITH
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ROTATING AROUND THIS AFTERNOON.
THESE STORMS SHOULD STAY MAINLY ACROSS THE MCN AND CSG AREAS AND
SOUTHWARD AS THIS WAVE WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST THEN NE ACROSS SC
FRIDAY. THERE WILL STILL BE SOME RESIDUAL MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA
FRI SO EXPECTING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EAST AND CENTRAL GA. OUR NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR
SOME STORMS WILL BE SAT AS THE MODELS ARE SHOWING A WAVE MOVING
SE OUT OF TN ACROSS NORTH AND EAST GA SAT/SAT NIGHT. A WEAK WEDGE
DOES BUILD INTO NE GA AHEAD OF THIS WAVE AND THE WAVE DOES WEAKEN
AS IT PUSHES ACROSS THE APPALACHIAN RIDGE INTO THE REGION. WE ARE
CURRENTLY UNDER A MARGINAL RISK AREA FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH AND
EAST GA SAT. TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO WARM INTO THE WEEKEND WITH
HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S EXPECTED THROUGH SAT.
LONG TERM

ISSUED AT 215 PM EDT THU JUN 25 2026
A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE
SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AS A WEAK DISTURBANCE PASSES
THROUGH THE AREA. POPS WILL BE HIGHEST ACROSS NORTHERN LOCATIONS.
MOVING INTO THE LATER PART OF THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, A
H500 RIDGE WILL CENTER ITSELF JUST WEST OF THE STATE OVER MS/LA.
GIVEN THE STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE, CALM AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD. WITH THAT SAID, DANGEROUSLY HOT
TEMPERATURES AND HEAT INDEX VALUES ARE EXPECTED.
SOME LOW END POPS ARE POSSIBLE UNDERNEATH THIS RIDGE BUT THE MAIN
HAZARD WILL BE THE HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS LEADING TO DANGEROUS
HEAT INDEX VALUES THIS WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE ABOVE AVERAGE. MAX HEAT INDEX VALUES
WILL LIKELY GET INTO THE UPPER 90S TO JUST OVER 100 DEGREES ACROSS
MUCH OF THE STATE BY LATE THIS WEEKEND AND CONTINUING INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK.
