SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 210 AM EDT SUN JUN 21 2026
LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS MUCH OF NORTH AND
CENTRAL GA EARLY THIS MORNING, INDICATIVE OF THE WARM AND HUMID
AIRMASS THAT HAS FILLED IN BEHIND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXITING THE
AREA TO THE NORTHEAST. THE LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WILL SLOWLY CLEAR
OUT THIS MORNING, WITH DAYTIME HEATING BRINGING TEMPERATURES INTO
THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH DEWPOINTS WILL
CREATE 'FEELS-LIKE' TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S. SUBTLE
MID-LEVEL RIDGING WILL TRY TO KEEP A LID ON CONVECTION, BUT
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL STILL BREAK THROUGH
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING, PRIMARILY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
I-20 CORRIDOR. A FEW STORMS COULD BE STRONG, WITH GUSTY WINDS,
FREQUENT LIGHTNING, AND HEAVY RAINFALL.
TONIGHT INTO MONDAY, THERE WILL BE AN UPTICK IN WARM AIR ADVECTION
AS LOW TO MID-LEVEL SOUTHWEST FLOW STRENGTHENS IN RESPONSE TO A
SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE MIDWEST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. WE COULD
SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF LOW CLOUDS IN THE EARLY MORNING, AS WELL AS
SOME AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN. DAYTIME HEATING AND INCREASINGLY BREEZY
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL SCATTER OUT THE LOW CLOUDS BY MID TO LATE
MORNING, ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 80S TO LOW
90S BY THE AFTERNOON. WITH DEWPOINTS A LITTLE HIGHER, IN THE LOW
TO MID 70S, HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL PEAK IN THE UPPER 90S IN NORTH
GA, AND LOW 100S IN CENTRAL GA. BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON,
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS NORTH GA, WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR A STRONG TO SEVERE LINE OF STORMS MOVING IN
DURING THE EVENING HOURS AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES IN FROM THE
NORTH. THE PRIMARY CONCERNS WOULD BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS, AS WELL
AS LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING IF THE HIGH RAIN RATE SHOWERS AND
STORMS REPEATEDLY OVER AN AREA. THIS POTENTIAL LINE OF STORMS
WOULD LIKELY WEAKEN AND FALL APART AS IT MOVED SOUTH INTO CENTRAL
GA OVERNIGHT DUE TO WEAKER FORCING AND LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 210 AM EDT SUN JUN 21 2026
A MOIST ENVIRONMENT WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES BETWEEN 1.5
INCHES AND 2 INCHES WILL KEEP DAILY CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION MOST
OF NEXT WEEK. OVERALL, THERE ISN'T ANY SYNOPTIC FEATURE TO CLEAR
THE MOISTURE OUT OF THE AREA. RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP DIURNALLY, GENERALLY FOCUSING ALONG THE FRONT THAT
MOVES THROUGH NORTH GA MONDAY NIGHT AND STALLS OVER CENTRAL GA FOR
MOST OF THE WEEK. INSTABILITY WILL MAINLY BE IN THE 500 TO 1000
J/KG RANGE TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY BEFORE BUILDING BACK TO 2000
J/KG OR HIGHER NEXT WEEKEND.
HIGHS WILL LARGELY BE IN THE 80S TO 90 WITH LOWS IN THE 60S AND 70S.
CENTRAL GEORGIA MAY SEE HEAT INDICES AROUND 100 ON TUESDAY, AND
THEN AGAIN FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
