ISSUED AT 327 AM EDT WED APR 1 2026
LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG REMAIN A POSSIBILITY THIS MORNING
PARTICULARLY IN LOCATIONS THAT RECEIVED SOME RAIN YESTERDAY OR IN
LOW- LYING AREAS. IMPROVEMENT ARE EXPECTED BY 10AM. THE PRESENCE
OF CLOUD COVER HAS KEPT TEMPERATURES MILD OVERNIGHT WITH CURRENT
VALUES IN THE UPPER 50S AND 60S AREAWIDE.
THE FORECAST AREA STILL REMAINS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST AND MID-UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
ALOFT. THUS, WARMING TEMPERATURES AND DAILY CHANCES FOR ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE THE STORY FOR THE SHORT-TERM.
THERE WILL BE A SLIGHTLY BETTER OPPORTUNITY, FOR WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A WEAK
MID-LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES NORTHWARD AROUND THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE
MID-LEVEL RIDGE. CHANCES CURRENTLY SIT AT 20-40%, THE HIGHEST
CHANCES RELEGATED TO PARTS OF NORTH GA. AREAS THAT RECEIVE ANY
RAINFALL TODAY, WILL BE SUBJECT TO AN INCREASED CHANCE FOR LOW
CLOUDS AND FOG WEDNESDAY MORNING. THURSDAY WILL BRING SIMILAR
WEATHER BUT CHANCES FOR ANY AFTERNOON SHOWERS OR STORMS WILL BE AT A
MINIMUM (~10-15% CHANCE).
UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED BOTH TODAY AND
THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE 70S AT THE HIGHEST
ELEVATIONS TO 80S ELSEWHERE BY THE AFTERNOON. LINGERING CLOUD COVER
AND A MORE HUMID AIRMASS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES MILD OVERNIGHT WITH
FORECAST VALUES IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S. SIMILAR TEMPERATURES
ARE EXPECTED FOR THURSDAY.
LONG TERM
(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 327 AM EDT WED APR 1 2026
LONG TERM WILL BE INFLUENCED MAINLY BY THE BERMUDA HIGH AND UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING CONTRIBUTING TO THE WARM TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE
WEEKEND REMINISCENT OF SUMMER. WEAK DISTURBANCES WILL CONTINUE TO
PROPAGATED AROUND THE HIGH PRESSURE LEADING TO DAILY
AFTERNOON/EVENING POP UP SHOWER/THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES SIMILAR TO WHAT
WE SAW TODAY. SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY (ESPECIALLY IN THE SW CORNER) IS
LIKELY TO BE AIDED BY THE SEABREEZE PUSHING UP FROM THE FL COAST.
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE 12-15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH
SATURDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 80S AND LOWS IN THE 60S MOST
MORNINGS.
LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING, LIKELY TO SEE A FRONT BEGIN
PUSHING INTO THE AREA FROM THE NW AS A TROUGH PUSHES INTO THE AREA
FROM THE WEST. UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT IS MEAGER AT THIS TIME SO NOT
EXPECTING A SEVERE THREAT BUT WILL KEEP AN EYE ON IT AS THE WEEK
PROGRESSES. EXPECTING A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE CLEARING CONDITIONS INTO
MONDAY AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. RIDGE LOOKS TO PUSH OUT FURTHER TO THE
EAST PUTTING US IN A SEMI ZONAL FLOW INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK TEMPS WILL
TREND CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH HIGHS IN THE MID
60S TO 70 DEGREE RANGE AND LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S ACROSS THE
AREA.
