SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 253 AM EDT SUN MAR 29 2026
TRANQUIL WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED TODAY THANKS TO HIGH PRESSURE IN
PLACE OVER THE EASTERN US AND BROAD RIDGING OVER THE MAJORITY OF THE
CONUS. THE ONLY CONCERN FOR TODAY WILL BE INCREASED FIRE DANGER
CONDITIONS ACROSS NORTHERN GEORGIA DUE TO CONTINUED LOW RH AND LOW
10HR FUELS. THUS, A FIRE DANGER STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR
AREAS ROUGHLY ALONG I-20 NORTHWARD. IF BURNING OUTDOORS, PLEASE USE
EXTREME CAUTION.
THE SURFACE HIGH WILL GRADUALLY INCH EASTWARD THROUGH MONDAY WHILE
MID-LEVEL RIDGING DAMPENS AND ADVANCES FROM THE WEST. MOISTURE
RETURNS BY WAY OF SE WINDS RESULTING IN DEWPOINTS SURGING BACK INTO
THE 50S TO 60S TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. FAIR WEATHER CUMULUS IS
LIKELY EACH AFTERNOON AND TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY WARM EACH DAY.
A VERY LOW CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON SHOWERS EXISTS ON MONDAY FOR FAR
SOUTH-CENTRAL GA. THOUGH BETTER CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL
AT LEAST LATE TUESDAY. FOR THIS AFTERNOON FORECAST HIGHS WILL
RANGE FROM THE THE MID 60S TO LOW 70S (SLIGHTLY COOLER IN THE
MOUNTAINS). ON MONDAY, FORECAST HIGHS WILL CLIMB INTO THE 70S
AREAWIDE, POTENTIALLY REACHING THE LOW 80S AGAIN IN PARTS OF
CENTRAL GA.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 253 AM EDT SUN MAR 29 2026
WARM WITH RAIN CHANCES RETURNING FROM MID-WEEK ON:
MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC
PATTERN DURING THE LONG TERM PERIOD, WITH THE STRONG RIDGE
SLIDING JUST OFF TO OUR EAST, AND LONGWAVE TROUGHING SETTING UP
OVER THE CENTRAL US. THIS WILL PUT GEORGIA UNDER DEEP SOUTHWEST
FLOW, WHICH WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES WARM AND BRING IN MORE
MOISTURE. WITH SUBSIDENCE FROM THE RIDGE WANING, THERE WILL BE
SUFFICIENT MOISTURE AND DIURNAL INSTABILITY TO SUPPORT DAILY RAIN
AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES FROM WEDNESDAY ON, ALL THE WAY THROUGH
NEXT WEEKEND. WHILE NO WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS
ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME, IT IS SOMETHING WE WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN
EYE ON DEPENDING ON HOW THE PATTERN EVOLVES. HIGH TEMPERATURES
WILL REMAIN IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S DURING THIS PERIOD, WITH
LOWS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S.
