SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Saturday)
Issued at 256 PM EDT Fri Jul 5 2024
Key Messages:
- Scattered thunderstorms will continue in the region this evening, with a few storms producing wind gusts at or above 40 mph.
- A Heat Advisory has been issued for portions of central and eastern Georgia for Saturday afternoon.
This Evening and Tonight:
Scattered thunderstorms will be the primary concern through this evening. As of 2:45 PM a line of thunderstorms was moving through northern Georgia. A weak cold from and fairly well developed cold pool were the primary factors driving storm maintenance with this line. Scattered diurnally driven showers and isolated thunderstorms were ongoing ahead of the main line of storms in a humid (dewpoints in the mid 70s) and hot (temperatures in the 90s) environment. The SPC upgraded northern Georgia to a Marginal Risk of severe weather earlier today. Given the current SPC Mesoanalysis the environment remains a potential favorable for isolated severe wind gusts in far northern Georgia where effective shear was near 20 kt. Elsewhere a few isolated sub severe gusts in the 25 to 40 mph range area possible, primarily as the main line of storms marches east this evening.
Heat will remain a concern through this evening in the portions of central and northern Georgia that have yet to see rainfall today. A Heat Advisory remains in place for these areas, but it has been cancelled for northwest Georgia where the rain has already moved through. Observed heat index values in the 105 to 108 degrees are expected within the Heat Advisory.
More Storms and Rain on Saturday:
The aforementioned cold front will stall out somewhere near the Interstate 85 Corridor on Saturday. This will set up a bifurcated pattern of surface dewpoints in the region on Saturday. A drier airmass should allow dewpoints to fall into the upper 60s in northwest Georgia. Meanwhile soggy mid 70s dewpoints will linger in central and eastern Georgia. Due to these higher dewpoints and expected highs in the 90s, heat index values should climb back above 105 degrees in portions of central Georgia Saturday. Thus a Heat Advisory has been issued for the region. Scattered thunderstorms should develop Saturday afternoon along and south of the front.
Severe weather is unlikely due to a lack of shear, but locally heavy rainfall will be possible (1-3 inches). The storms could limit heat index values in some areas.

LONG TERM
(Sunday morning through next Thursday)
Issued at 256 PM EDT Fri Jul 5 2024
The long term forecast will be fairly typical for summer time in the southeast, with daily rain and thunderstorm chances and hot temperatures expected. As the subtropical ridge begins to break down over the weekend, a broad 500mb trough will nudge a boundary over the forecast area. This boundary will be relatively weak and diffuse, and ultimately stall out across the area for much of the week as the broad upper level troughing pattern persists. This boundary will serve as the focal point for diurnally driven showers and thunderstorms throughout the long term period, with most days seeing scattered to numerous shows and thunderstorms across the area. Abundant moisture will allow PWATs to surge into the 2.0-2.5" range through much of the work week, which will produce some concerns over locally heavy rainfall in any strong storms that develop. Additionally, the moisture at the surface will drive dewpoints into the mid to upper 70s for much of the long term forecast period, resulting in triple digit heat index values for many locations, particularly south of the I-85 corridor.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 134 PM EDT Fri Jul 5 2024
Scattered thunderstorms will remain the main aviation concern through 06Z Saturday. Impacts, including brief visibility restrictions and erratic winds, are anticipated all the the TAF sites. Isolated storms could occur (<15% chance) between 06Z and 18Z Saturday. Winds will generally be from the southwest through 00Z, though storms will lead to variable winds in areas. Areas of IFR/MVFR ceilings are possible between 06Z and 15Z Saturday.
Patchy fog is possible between 09Z and 14Z Saturday.
//ATL Confidence
18Z Update
Overall confidence in the ATL TAF is moderate.
Moderate confidence in the wind, ceiling and visibility forecasts.
Low confidence in the thunderstorm timing.
