SHORT TERM
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 304 AM EDT Tue Mar 19 2024
Highlights:
- Freeze Warning remains in effect for much of North and Central Georgia trough 10 AM ET
- High fire danger conditions this afternoon and evening due to low relative humidity
Surface high pressure will continue to dominate the weather pattern through the short-term period. Breezy NW winds continue to slacken thus temperatures are a little slower to fall. However, temperatures are expected to be on the chilly side with readings in the upper 20s roughly north of I-85 and in the low 30s elsewhere. Thus a Freeze Warning remains in effect through 10 AM ET. Under clear skies, temperatures are forecast to warm into the mid 50s to low 60s by the afternoon. With a much drier airmass in place, opted to run below guidance for dewpoints similar to the previous forecast. Forecast dewpoints in the teens and low 20s (and potentially single digits across far NE GA) will result in minimum relative humidity values less than 25% this afternoon and early evening areawide. Surface winds look to be elevated just enough to continue to dry fuels. With all of this in mind opted for a Fire Danger Statement this afternoon and evening. TOnight temperatures are expected to dip back down in the 30s though at this time winds look to keep temperatures largely above freezing. Some patchy frost may be possible across far North Georgia as well. Warm and dry conditions will prevail again on Wednesday with temperatures warming back into the 70s.

LONG TERM
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 304 AM EDT Tue Mar 19 2024
The extended starts off dry with temps having rebounded back to near seasonal norms by Wed Night/Thu Morning. The high pressure ridge that built into the area in the short term will still be keeping things dry, but it will be much weaker Thu morning. By Wed afternoon the ridge begins to break down as the next wave develops over the western Gulf. By 12z Thu the next wave will be moving NE out of the western gulf pushing the remnants of whats left of the high pressure ridge out of the area. Will see mainly increased clouds Thu with precipitation moving into Western GA Thu night. Will see showers and isolated thunderstorms across the area Thu night through Friday but not seeing much in the way of instability. The models are showing the main low pressure center moving across Central GA Friday night witch is a bit further north than yesterdays model runs. With this low center moving across the CWA also seeing slightly higher QPF amounts as well. Most locations across the CWA will see an inch of precipitation or less through Sat morning but some areas across east central GA could see 1 to 1.5 inches. This system clears the area by Sat afternoon with a high pressure ridge building back in and drying things out through the beginning of next week.
