KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 653 PM EST MON JAN 26 2026

MORNING DUE TO BITTERLY COLD TEMPERATURES AND WIND CHILLS WITH
PARTICULAR CONCERN FOR THOSE WITHOUT POWER AND VULNERABLE
POPULATIONS.
- COLD AND DRY WEATHER WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK.
SHORT TERM
(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 207 PM EST MON JAN 26 2026
DRY AND SUNNY WEATHER HAS RETURNED IN THE WAKE OF OUR WEEKEND WINTER
STORM, BUT THE COLD WEATHER IS GOING NOWHERE. FOR THE REMAINDER OF
TODAY, GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO HERALD OUR RENEWED
COLD, DRY AIRMASS AS ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES INTO THE DEEP
SOUTH. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BEGIN TO RELAX A BIT OVERNIGHT,
THOUGH WINDS WILL NOT GO ENTIRELY CALM BY TUESDAY MORNING. WITH
FORECAST LOWS RANGING AS COLD AS THE SINGLE DIGITS IN THE NORTHEAST
GEORGIA MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE TEENS ELSEWHERE, MORNING WIND CHILLS
WILL BE BITTERLY COLD. A COLD WEATHER ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT
TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING FOR WIND CHILLS AS COLD AS A FEW
DEGREES BELOW ZERO IN THE NORTHEAST GEORGIA MOUNTAINS TO THE SINGLE
DIGITS FOR THE REMAINDER OF NORTH GEORGIA AND LOW TEENS ELSEWHERE.
OBVIOUSLY, THIS DEGREE OF COLD WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN FOR
LOCATIONS IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA STILL EXPERIENCING POWER OUTAGES.
HEADING INTO TUESDAY, PLENTY OF SUN CAN BE EXPECTED WITH A SLIGHT
"WARMING" TREND. STILL, HIGHS WILL REMAIN AT LEAST 10-15 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL, RANGING FROM THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S. LOWS TUESDAY
NIGHT WILL AGAIN DROP BELOW FREEZING AREAWIDE, MAINLY IN THE 20S,
THOUGH BACK ABOVE COLD WEATHER ADVISORY CRITERIA.
LONG TERM
(WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 207 PM EST MON JAN 26 2026
COOL TEMPERATURES LINGER THROUGHOUT THE WEEK:
THE COLD WEATHER WILL CONTINUE FROM MID WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND AS
BROAD TROUGHING AND A RELATIVELY COOL AIRMASS REMAIN IN PLACE
ACROSS MOST OF THE EASTERN US. A WEAK SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED
DRY COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST US ON WEDNESDAY,
REINFORCING THE COOL AIRMASS. LOW TEMPERATURES FROM WEDNESDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY WILL LIKELY BE IN THE LOW TO MID 20S, WITH HIGH
TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 40S IN NORTH GA, AND MID TO UPPER 40S IN
CENTRAL GA.
STORM THREAT NEXT WEEKEND? (SPOILER: UNLIKELY FOR NOW)
FOR OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND, MODEL GUIDANCE IS COMING INTO
BETTER AGREEMENT ON TEMPERATURES COOLING DOWN EVEN FURTHER AS A
REINFORCING SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR DROPS ACROSS MUCH OF THE CENTRAL
AND EASTERN US. STILL A WAYS OUT FROM THIS, BUT COLD WEATHER
ADVISORY CONDITIONS MAY BE THREATENED AGAIN. THE OTHER THING THAT
WE WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH CLOSELY IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ANY
MOISTURE TO MOVE INTO THE REGION DURING THIS TIME, AS
TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW FREEZING ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA,
YIELDING A THREAT FOR WINTER PRECIPITATION. THE LATEST ENSEMBLE
GUIDANCE HAS ABOUT 20% OF MEMBERS BRINGING MOISTURE INTO THE
REGION SOMETIME BETWEEN LATE FRIDAY AND SUNDAY, ASSOCIATED WITH A
SYSTEM DEVELOPING OFF THE COAST. SO, WHILE THE CHANCES REMAIN
LOW, THE OVERALL SETUP HAS WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL AND IS WORTH
KEEPING AN EYE ON OVER THE UPCOMING DAYS.
