Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Milan, GA

SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Tuesday)
Issued at 250 PM EDT Mon Oct 12 2026

Pleasant but warm weather is on tap for most of this week across North and Central Georgia as a mid-level ridge and surface high pressure build over the Southeast US. Today will be a bit of a transition day as the high starts to build in, with enough of a pressure gradient to create breezy northwest winds gusting to around 20-25 mph through early evening. High temperatures will climb to the low to mid 80s under skies.

As the pressure gradient weakens overnight winds will become nearly calm, allowing for excellent radiational cooling with temperatures falling to the upper 50s for most. The warming trend continues tomorrow, with highs climbing into the mid to upper 80s across much of the area. These temps are around 10-15 degrees above normal, and we could even see Atlanta's daily high temperature record of 86 be met or broken.

LONG TERM
(Wednesday morning through next Sunday)
Issued at 250 PM EDT Mon Oct 12 2026

Very little change in the long term forecast for this afternoon.
Ridge continues to build in overhead through the week bringing mostly clear skies and some very warm temps to north and central Georgia. Highs are still forecast to be 10-20 degrees above average for highs and lows through Friday. Current forecast will definitely be close to record highs at a some of the climate sites, depending on the day and the site, and we very well could break some. This means highs in the mid to upper 80s and even a few 90s. Overnight lows will be in the upper 50s and lower 60s.
This is above average, but not close to record high minimums which are generally in the 70s (think high dewpoint days/tropical events in October). Air will be humid for October with dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s through Friday.

Low over the 4 corners region is still progged to eject into the Great Plains on Thursday and merge with trough digging into the same area. Large trough spreads over the eastern CONUS driving early season cold air down from the Arctic. Timing remains a little uncertain, but best current timing pushes the cold front in rapidly overnight Friday into Saturday morning. Much cooler air comes in behind with highs on Saturday in the 60s and 70s. Sunday will likely be the coolest night of the Fall so far, with lows in the 40s and maybe a few 30s. 10th percentile NBM is showing things being right at the verge for frost advisory in parts of NE GA, so that will bear some watching.
