..NEW 12Z AVIATION DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGES
- ELEVATED FIRE DANGER IS LIKELY THE NEXT SEVERAL AFTERNOONS FOR
PORTIONS OF THE AREA DUE TO LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY.
- DRY CONDITIONS AND PLEASANT TEMPERATURES WILL PERSIST FOR THE
NEXT 7 DAYS WITH A SLIGHT COOLDOWN OVER THE WEEKEND.
SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 336 AM EDT WED OCT 21 2026
CONDITIONS REMAIN VERY DRY ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GA. A WAVE BREAK
OVER THE COMING DAYS WILL TRANSITION UPPER LEVEL FLOW FROM THE NW TO
THE NE, GENERALLY HAVING LITTLE TO NO IMPACT ON MOISTURE OR
PRECIPITATION CHANCES. PWATS WILL REMAIN NEAR THE CLIMATOLOGICAL
10TH PERCENTILE, MEANING PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL REMAIN NEAR
ZERO.
TEMPERATURES DURING THE DAY WILL CONTINUE THE SLIGHT UPSWING. HIGHS
WILL LIKELY REACH THE MID TO UPPER 70S BY THURSDAY FOR MOST. WITH
LITTLE IN THE WAY OF INCREASED MOISTURE, THIS LIKELY MEANS WE WILL
CONTINUE TO SEE RH VALUES FALL TO BELOW 25% FOR MUCH OF THE AREA
EACH AFTERNOON. ELEVATED FIRE DANGER TO CONTINUE.
LOWS EACH DAY WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN THE LOW 40S FOR MOST, THOUGH WE
COULD CONTINUE TO SEE UPPER 30S FOR THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
CWA.
LONG TERM
(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 336 AM EDT WED OCT 21 2026
ON THE WHOLE, THE LONG-TERM FORECAST PERIOD WILL REMAIN UNEVENTFUL.
DRY WEATHER WILL PERSIST FROM THE WEEKEND INTO AT LEAST THE FIRST
HALF OF NEXT WEEK.
THE ONLY FEATURE OF MUCH INTEREST WILL BE A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT THAT
WILL ARRIVE FRIDAY AND PROVIDE A SHOT OF COOLER AIR FOR THE WEEKEND
AS A SURFACE HIGH SETTLES ACROSS THE NORTHEAST AND MID-ATLANTIC.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BACK TOWARD THE 60S/LOW 70S OVER THE
WEEKEND WITH LOWS NUDGING INTO THE LOWER TO MID 40S FOR MOST BY
SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES THEN LIKELY BEGIN A GRADUAL REBOUND THEREAFTER
AS THE SURFACE HIGH SETTLES SOUTHWARD.
