SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 151 AM EDT FRI SEP 25 2026
PLEASANT 'FALL-LIKE' WEATHER WILL MOVE IN THROUGH THE START OF
THE WEEKEND ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA. ON THE BACKSIDE OF
A STACKED LOW OFF THE EAST COAST, A VERY DRY AND RELATIVELY COOL
AIRMASS WILL SPREAD OVER THE AREA WITHIN NORTHERLY FLOW.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE AROUND NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR BUT WITH
IT BEING THE FIRST NOTABLE COOL-DOWN SINCE THE SPRING, MORNING
LOWS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S TODAY, AND LOW TO MID 50S ON
SATURDAY, MAY FEEL 'CHILLY'. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB TO THE
MID TO UPPER 70S TODAY, AND UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S ON SATURDAY. WITH
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES, A LIGHT BREEZE, AND DEWPOINTS DROPPING TO THE
50S, YOU CAN'T ASK FOR MUCH BETTER LATE SEPTEMBER WEATHER! IT'S
ALSO WORTH MENTIONING THAT ANYONE GETTING THEIR FALL FESTIVITIES
ON IN THE NORTH GA MOUNTAINS MAY WANT TO PACK AN EXTRA LAYER, AS
THESE AREAS COULD SEE MORNING LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S.
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 151 AM EDT FRI SEP 25 2026
SUNDAY AND BEYOND, NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA WILL REMAIN WITHIN A
REGIME OF NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT, WITH WEAKENING HIGH PRESSURE
AT THE SURFACE. MULTIPLE PUSHES OF SUPREMELY DRY, CANADIAN
CONTINENTAL AIR WILL ROTATE AROUND WHAT REMAINS OF A POTENT
NOR'EASTER AND INTO THE SOUTHEAST, WITH PWATS PROGGED TO FALL
BETWEEN THE 10TH AND 25TH PERCENTILES CLIMATOLOGICALLY (GENERALLY
LESS THAN THREE-QUARTERS OF AN INCH, WITH MORE SEASONABLE VALUES
EXPECTED ON SUNDAY). THE COMBINATION OF UNCHARACTERISTICALLY DRY
AIR AND SUBSIDENCE FROM LINGERING SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL KEEP
POPS NEAR-NEGLIGIBLE THROUGH MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK (<15%, WHICH IS THE
DELINEATOR BETWEEN DRY AND A MENTION OF ISOLATED RAIN CHANCES).
MODERATION OF TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR AS THE AIRMASS STAGNATES,
WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS RISING BACK INTO THE 80S AREAWIDE -- BACK TO
5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE BY NEXT TUESDAY. DESPITE THIS,
MORNING LOWS WILL BE CRISP AND POSITIVELY FALL-LIKE (FINALLY), IN
THE 50S TO LOWER 60S FOR MOST.
