SHORT TERM
(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 243 PM EDT SAT JUN 27 2026
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED POPUP SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN TO
DEVELOP ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHERN GEORGIA AND THE ATLANTA METRO INTO
CENTRAL GEORGIA. DAYTIME HEATING OCCURRED QUICKLY THIS MORNING INTO
MIDDAY, WITH THE TEMPERATURE AT ATL ALREADY AT 91F. SURFACE CAPE
WITH THE 12Z SOUNDING WAS 2042 J/KG. THERE REMAINS A MARGINAL RISK
(1 OUT OF 5) OVER PORTIONS OF N GA (AND A SLIGHT RISK (2 OUT OF 5)
FOR THE NORTHEASTERN-MOST COUNTIES IN THE CWA) FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS; THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND FREQUENT
LIGHTNING. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO POSSIBLE WITH ANY/ALL
THUNDERSTORMS.
CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON, MOSTLY OVER NORTH
GEORGIA; LESS COVERAGE AND INTENSITY IS LIKELY WITH ANY DEVELOPMENT
TOMORROW AFTERNOON. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MID 80S TO UPPER
90S ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL GEORGIA, WITH HEAT INDICES FORECAST
TO BE BETWEEN 85 AND 105F. THIS DOES NOT YET WARRANT A HEAT
ADVISORY, BUT TEMPERATURE TRENDS WILL BE MONITORED CLOSELY FOR THE
THREAT OF THESE HAZARDOUSLY HIGH TEMPERATURES/HEAT INDICES.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY MORNING THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 243 PM EDT SAT JUN 27 2026
A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE MAIN EVENT DURING THE
LONG TERM PERIOD. GIVEN THE STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE, CALM AND
DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD. WITH THAT
SAID, DANGEROUSLY HOT TEMPERATURES AND HEAT INDEX VALUES ARE
EXPECTED.
SOME LOW END POPS ARE POSSIBLE UNDERNEATH THIS RIDGE BUT THE MAIN
HAZARD WILL BE THE HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS LEADING TO DANGEROUS
HEAT INDEX VALUES THIS WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE ABOVE AVERAGE. MAX HEAT INDEX VALUES
WILL LIKELY GET INTO THE UPPER 90S TO JUST OVER 100 DEGREES ACROSS
MUCH OF THE STATE BY LATE THIS WEEKEND AND CONTINUING INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK.
