FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK THIS EVENING. MUCH LIKE LAST NIGHT,
EXPECTING MID TO HIGH CLOUD COVER TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE FROM
WEST TO EAST, WITH PERHAPS A LIGHT SHOWER OR PERIODS OF DRIZZLE

SHORT TERM
(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 200 PM EST WED JAN 29 2025
FAIRLY QUIET CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE BULK OF THE SHORT
TERM. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CURRENTLY SITUATED OVER THE SOUTHEAST
WILL RAPIDLY PUSH INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC ON THURSDAY. MEANWHILE,
SHORTWAVE MIDLEVEL RIDGING WILL SHIFT OVERHEAD IN ADVANCE OF A
CLOSED UPPER LOW EJECTING EASTWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. MID AND
HIGH CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA THROUGH THE
DAY, THOUGH MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR TWO IN FAR NORTH GEORGIA.
BY THURSDAY NIGHT, THE CLOSED LOW WILL BEGIN TO BE ABSORBED INTO THE
MAIN FLOW, AND A TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO APPROACH THE
AREA. RAIN CHANCES WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE ACROSS NORTHWEST GEORGIA
BY THE PREDAWN HOURS FRIDAY IN ADVANCE OF THIS SYSTEM.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL. SUBFREEZING LOWS ARE IN THE
REARVIEW MIRROR, RANGING FROM THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S BY THURSDAY
MORNING. HIGHS THURSDAY WILL RUN AROUND TEN DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR
MOST WITH THE 70S LIKELY MAKING AN APPEARANCE FOR MUCH OF MIDDLE
GEORGIA.

LONG TERM
(FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 200 PM EST WED JAN 29 2025
ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE LONG TERM FORECAST.
CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO INCREASE THAT THE COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED
PRECIPITATION WILL ADVANCE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE
DAYTIME ON FRIDAY BEFORE EXITING TO THE SOUTHEAST BY EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING. RAINFALL TOTALS ASSOCIATED WITH SYSTEM HAVE DECREASED
SLIGHTLY FROM THE PREVIOUS ITERATION OF THE FORECAST, RANGING FROM
0.5-1 INCH IN NORTH GEORGIA AND 0.25-0.5 INCH IN CENTRAL GEORGIA. IT
STILL APPEARS THAT MINIMAL CAPE AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
LIMIT THUNDER CHANCES AND OVERALL SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL, THOUGH A
FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN SOUTHWEST GEORGIA.
AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT, THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK
WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY MILD TEMPERATURES, WHICH WILL GRADUALLY
WARM DAY. THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
