SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 221 AM EDT SAT JUN 6 2026
UPPER RIDGING WILL BEGIN TO DAMPEN TODAY AS THE FIRST OF A FEW
SHORTWAVE TROUGHS PASSES WELL TO OUR NORTH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
REGION. ADDITIONALLY, HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL CONTINUE TO
SHIFT EASTWARD WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW BRINGING A GRADUAL RETURN OF
MOISTURE INTO THE AREA. AT LEAST FOR TODAY (SATURDAY), WE CAN EXPECT
ONE MORE DRY AND WARM WEATHER DAY FOR ALL OF NORTH AND CENTRAL
GEORGIA. BUT A PATTERN SHIFT IS ON THE HORIZON STARTING SUNDAY.
ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL LIFT NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE MID-MS VALLEY.
THIS WILL PROVIDE JUST ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TO RETURN TO PARTS OF NORTHERN GEORGIA SUNDAY AFTERNOON. CHANCES
WILL FURTHER INCREASE IN COVERAGE BY MONDAY -- DISCUSSED IN THE LONG
TERM BELOW.
AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES GO, IT'S GOING TO FEEL A LOT MORE LIKE
SUMMER. FORECAST HIGHS IN THE 80S -- PERHAPS REACHING THE LOW 90S
ACROSS FAR SOUTH-CENTRAL GEORGIA -- AND FORECAST LOWS IN THE 60S TO
LOW 70S. DEWPOINTS WILL STEADILY RISE BACK INTO THE MID/UPPER 60S BY
SUNDAY WHICH WILL MAKE IT FEEL MUCH MORE MUGGY OUTDOORS. TAKE
ADVANTAGE TO THE PLEASANT WEATHER WHILE YOU CAN!
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 221 AM EDT SAT JUN 6 2026
SOUTHERLY FLOW IS BACK BY THE START OF THE EXTENDED PERIODS WITH
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BACK IN THE FORECAST. THE RIDGE THAT KEPT
US DRY OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS WILL HAVE MOVED OFF SHORE AND BECOME
MORE OF A BERMUDA RIDGE BY SUN NIGHT/MON MORNING. LOOKING FOR
DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON MON THROUGH
THU. INSTABILITY THROUGH DAY 7 STAYS FAIRLY MARGINAL WITH THE BEST
INSTABILITY STAYING WEST OF THE STATE. ONE MAIN DIFFERENCE WITH THIS
NEW BERMUDA RIDGE IS THERE WILL BE A LARGE/STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
CENTERED OVER THE NE GULF KEEPING THINGS CAPPED ACROSS REGION. THIS
COMBINED WITH THE LACK OF INSTABILITY WERE NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE
WAY OF SEVERE WEATHER OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT
ANY STORM IN GEORGIA DURING THE SUMMER IS CAPABLE OF BRIEFLY
REACHING SEVERE THRESHOLDS SO STAY WEATHER AWARE.
