.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Thursday)
Issued at 216 AM EDT Wed Oct 1 2025
Dry and pleasant conditions through the short term as an upper
level ridge over the Midwest drops across the region and surface
high pressure expands along the US East Coast. The breezy low to
mid-level northeast flow created by these features will gradually
drive out any moisture, resulting in mostly clear skies. High
temperatures today will take advantage of the clearer skies and
lingering warm airmass, reaching the low to mid 80s. On Thursday,
residents of north and central Georgia clamoring for fall-like
conditions will start to be rewarded (for a few days at least) as
dewpoints plummet to the low 50s and temperatures return to
normal for this time of year. Highs will be in the mid to upper
70s across much of the area, with upper 60s to low 70s in the
higher terrain of north GA.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 216 AM EDT Wed Oct 1 2025
Highs in the upper 70s and low 80s are expected across most of
the CWA with lower temps possible in the higher elevations.
Overnight lows will be in the low 60s and upper 50s with no threat
of afternoon thunderstorms to ruin your plans. High pressure will
keep conditions nice and dry through Saturday.
The models really struggle come Sunday. The general consensus
that a tropical wave of some kind will bring a moisture return to
parts of north and central Georgia. The GFS keeps a pretty tight
lid on the amount of precip we would get, but the Euro is a
different story with some ensembles indicating a substantial
amount of rain is possible as a system forms off the coast for FL.
Still plenty of time for these two to make up their minds and
come to some kind of agreement. Due to the uncertainty we`ve kept
the chance of precip towards the end of the forecast period capped
and will continue to monitor the possibilities as we get closer
to the weekend.
