..NEW 06Z AVIATION DISCUSSION
SHORT TERM
(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 241 PM EDT SAT MAY 31 2025
- DRY AND HAZY/SMOKY SKY THROUGH THE EVENING DUE TO WILDFIRE SMOKE
FROM CANADA.
- ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS PORTIONS OF
NORTH GA ON SUNDAY. PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY ELSEWHERE.
IF YOU'VE WALKED OUTDOORS THIS AFTERNOON YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED
IT'S QUITE HAZY. NO THAT'S NOT CIRRUS CLOUDS YOU'RE SEEING BUT
ACTUALLY WILDFIRE SMOKE FROM CANADA. NORTHWESTERLY WINDS HAVE
ADVECTED A GOOD BIT OF SMOKE FROM CANADA ACROSS MUCH OF THE
SOUTHEAST. THIS HAS INHIBITED MORE WIDESPREAD CU DEVELOPMENT THIS
AFTERNOON. ISOLATED CU WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE BUT LARGELY
SUPPRESSED DUE TO SMOKE. AT THIS TIME THERE ARE NO VISIBILITY
RESTRICTIONS (PER SURFACE OBSERVATIONS) FROM SMOKE AND LATEST HRRR
GUIDANCE INDICATES VISIBILITIES SHOULD REMAIN UP THROUGH THE
EVENING. DID NOTE THE HRRR TRYING TO BRING IN SOME SLIGHTLY LOWER
VISIBILITIES SHORTLY BEFORE SUNRISE SO THAT WILL BE SOMETHING TO
MONITOR.
AS WE HEAD INTO SUNDAY, A DISTURBANCE ALOFT IS FORECAST TO SWING
THROUGH THE MS VALLEY REGION BRINGING THE RETURN OF SOME CLOUDS
AND PERHAPS ISOLATED SHOWERS AND/OR THUNDERSTORMS TO PORTIONS OF
NORTH GA. NOT MUCH CHANGE WITH THIS COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST -- THE THUNDERSTORMS APPEAR MOST LIKELY FOR AREAS NORTH
OF I-20. WHILE WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT ANTICIPATED, WE
ARE IN GEORGIA AND HEADED INTO JUNE. SO ANY STORM THAT IS ABLE TO
GET GOING COULD CERTAINLY PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS AND/OR SMALL HAIL.
REGARDLESS, KEEP AN EYE TO THE SKY AS ALL STORMS ARE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING FREQUENT CLOUD-TO-GROUND LIGHTNING AND HEAVY RAINFALL.

LONG TERM
(MONDAY MORNING THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 241 PM EDT SAT MAY 31 2025
KEY MESSAGES:
- DRY WEATHER AND A WARMING TREND THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
- OPPRESSIVE HUMIDITY AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS RETURN BY THE
END OF NEXT WEEK.
THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK WILL FEATURE DRY CONDITIONS AND A
WARMING TREND AS A STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST U.S.. THE RIDGE WILL MOVE INTO AN ALREADY DRY AIRMASS
LEFT IN PLACE BY THIS WEEKENDS MID-LEVEL NW FLOW, SO THE
SUBSIDENCE WILL AID IN SQUASHING ANY CHANCES FOR DIURNAL
CONVECTION ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
AROUND NORMAL ON MONDAY, WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S, BEFORE WARMING TO
THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, THE RIDGE WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT EAST,
CENTERING OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. IN RESPONSE, LOW-LEVEL FLOW
WILL TURN SOUTH-SOUTHEASTERLY OVER GEORGIA, BRINGING INCREASINGLY
HUMID AIR INTO THE AREA. WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES STILL IN THE UPPER
80S TO LOW 90S, THE HIGHER HUMIDITY WILL MAKE IT FEEL LIKE A
TYPICAL OPPRESSIVE MID-SUMMER DAY IN SOUTH. THE LESSENING
INFLUENCE OF THE RIDGE COMBINED WITH INCREASED MOISTURE WILL ALLOW
FOR DIURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO RETURN EACH DAY, WITH
BETTER CHANCES ON FRIDAY.
CULVER
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 117 AM EDT SUN JUN 1 2025
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. GENERALLY SKC
OVERNIGHT WILL GIVE WAY TO INCREASING MID-/UPPER-LEVEL CLOUDS BY
MID-MORNING TO EARLY AFTERNOON, ALONG WITH A CU FIELD ~5 KFT
DEVELOPING AROUND 15Z-16Z. WEST WINDS WILL BE 5-10 KTS DURING THE
DAY. LIKE YESTERDAY, SMOKE WELL ABOVE THE SURFACE WILL MAKE FOR A
HAZY APPEARANCE TO THE SKY, BUT REDUCTIONS TO SURFACE VISIBILITY
ARE NOT EXPECTED.
//ATL CONFIDENCE...06Z UPDATE...
HIGH CONFIDENCE ON ALL ELEMENTS.
