KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 156 PM EDT SUN OCT 12 2025
- FAIR WEATHER AND A GRADUAL UPWARD TREND IN TEMPERATURES IS
EXPECTED THIS WEEK.
- THE NEXT POTENTIAL FOR RAIN ANYWHERE ACROSS NORTH AND

SHORT TERM
(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 156 PM EDT SUN OCT 12 2025
THIS EVENING & TONIGHT:
LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT THROUGH EAST CENTRAL
GEORGIA THIS EVENING AS A WEAK SHORTWAVE ROTATES AROUND A PARENT LOW
ALONG THE NORTH CAROLINA COASTLINE. INSTABILITY WITH THIS FEATURE IS
WEAK, SO THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED. RAINFALL TOTALS FOR THE DAY
OF 0.25 INCHES OR LESS ARE POSSIBLE EAST OF MACON.
IF YOU ARE NOT IN EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA, YOUR SUNDAY EVENING WILL BE
DRY WITH FAIR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS. JUST LIKE THE LAST COUPLE OF
DAYS, LOW HUMIDITY WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO COOL QUICKLY THIS
EVENING. POCKETS OF UPPER 40 DEGREE TEMPERATURES WILL DEVELOP IN
NORTHEAST GEORGIA AND THE MOUNTAINS BY 6 AM MONDAY. OTHER AREAS CAN
ANTICIPATED UPPER 60S THIS EVENING AND LOW 50S BY 6 AM MONDAY.
MONDAY:
THE COASTAL LOW WILL WEAKEN AND LIFT TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST ON
MONDAY. AS THIS OCCURS THE EASTERN EDGE OF AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
(CENTERED OVER TEXAS) WILL CREEP INTO GEORGIA. THIS RIDGE WILL TAKE
FIRM CONTROL OF OUR LOCAL WEATHER FOR THE REST OF THE WORKWEEK, AND
ON MONDAY IT WILL BE THE HARBINGER OF WARMING TEMPERATURES.
WIDESPREAD HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 80S ARE ANTICIPATED MONDAY
AFTERNOON. THESE VALUES WILL BE 3 TO 8 DEGREES ABOVE SEASONAL
AVERAGES. NO RAINFALL OR HAZARDOUS WEATHER ARE EXPECTED IN NORTH AND
CENTRAL GEORGIA ON MONDAY.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 156 PM EDT SUN OCT 12 2025
A MID-LEVEL RIDGE WILL BE TAKING UP RESIDENCE ACROSS MUCH OF THE
CENTRAL US AND EXTENDING TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST. THIS SET UP WILL
PERSIST THROUGH MOST OF THIS NEXT WEEK PROMOTING THE CONTINUATION OF
WARM AND DRY WEATHER ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA. DAYTIME HIGHS
WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 70S TO THE MID 80S FROM MONDAY TO FRIDAY.
EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO BE 5-10 DEGREES COOLER IN THE NORTHEAST GA
MOUNTAINS. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES REMAIN ON THE COOLER SIDE WITH
VALUES IN THE 50S (40S IN THE MOUNTAINS). BETWEEN THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY, THE MIDLEVEL RIDGING WILL BE SLIDING EASTWARD AND A SURFACE
HIGH BECOMES WEDGED UP AGAINST THE APPALACHIANS. SO IT MAY BE A FEW
DEGREES COOLER THURSDAY NIGHT AND ON FRIDAY. RAIN MAY BE A
POSSIBILITY SOMETIME OVER THIS NEXT WEEKEND AS ANOTHER MIDLEVEL
TROUGH TRACKS ACROSS THE PLAINS TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST. THOUGH ANY
MEANINGFUL PRECIPITATION APPEARS UNLIKELY AT THIS TIME. GIVEN THE
LACK OF APPRECIABLE RAINFALL IN THE LONG TERM FORECAST, DROUGHT
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO REMAIN THE SAME OR WORSEN.
