.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 229 PM EDT Fri Oct 10 2025
- A low pressure system will move along the Georgia coast
      this weekend, unfortunately it won`t bring significant
      rainfall to north and central Georgia.
- Dry weather will linger through next week, and combine with
      warming temperatures to favor continued or worsening
      drought conditions.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Saturday)
Issued at 229 PM EDT Fri Oct 10 2025
This Evening & Tonight:
Scattered rain showers should continue in central Georgia this
evening. Overnight, as the upper low enhancing shower activity
merges with a coastal low, any rain shower activity should become
more confined to east central Georgia. A lack of instability and
poor lapse rates should prevent thunderstorms from being a concern
this evening. However some light rainfall or drizzle could impact
evening activities south of Macon. Rainfall accumulations through
the overnight should be light (less than 0.15 inches) and have
little to no impact on ongoing drought conditions.
Aside from the small rain chances in central Georgia, tonight will
consist of uneventful weather. Low humidity values will allow
temperatures to cool quickly this evening in northwest Georgia. This
should help morning lows dip to around 50 degrees. The mountains
will see lows in the 40s tonight. Elsewhere in the state cloud cover
should keep temperature in the mid to upper 50s.
Saturday:
A coastal low will intensify along the Georgia/Florida Coastline on
Saturday. Southerly flow east of the low will drive moisture and
rainfall north into the Carolinas. Across northern and western
Georgia the low will continue to produce northeast flow. This will
advect in a mild and dry airmass, prevent any needed precipitation.
East central Georgia could see some rain showers or an isolated
thunderstorm due to a combination of diurnal heating and proximity
to the low Saturday afternoon. Cloud cover in the eastern half of
the state should limit afternoon highs to the lower 70s, while more
sunshine closer to the Georgia/Alabama border could allow a few
spots to breach the 80 degree mark.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday morning through next Thursday)
Issued at 229 PM EDT Fri Oct 10 2025
Isolated rain chances may hang on across far eastern GA on Sunday as
a coastal low migrates up the East coast. Otherwise, any meaningful
rainfall across North and Central GA appears unlikely over the next
7 days. Mid to upper troughing will be lifting northeastward along
the East Coast, with broad ridging taking up residence across much
of the Central US and stick around through much of next week. The
strengthening of this feature will lead to a gradual rise in daytime
temperatures each day. Daytime highs will start off in the mid 70s
on Sunday warming to the mid 80s towards the middle of next week.
Expect temperatures to be 5-10 degrees cooler in the northeast GA
mountains. Overnight temperatures will follow suit, starting off in
the upper 40s to low 50s rising to the 60s next week. Given the lack
of rainfall in the long term forecast, drought conditions  are
likely to remain the same or worsen.
