Afternoon Area Forecast Discussion
KEY MESSAGES
- Chances for afternoon showers and thunderstorms will continue through Sunday. A few storms across far north Georgia may become strong to severe and capable of producing an isolated damaging wind gust on Saturday.
- Heat will build this weekend into next week, with afternoon highs climbing into the 90s and heat index values over 100 from Sunday on.
- Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible each afternoon through next week.
SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Sunday)
Issued at 243 PM EDT Sat Jun 27 2026
Isolated to scattered popup showers and thunderstorms have begun to develop across much of northern Georgia and the Atlanta metro into central Georgia. Daytime heating occurred quickly this morning into midday, with the temperature at ATL already at 91F. Surface CAPE with the 12Z sounding was 2042 J/kg. There remains a Marginal risk (1 out of 5) over portions of N GA (and a Slight risk (2 out of 5)
for the northeastern-most counties in the CWA) for severe thunderstorms; the main threats will be damaging winds and frequent lightning. Locally heavy rainfall is also possible with any/all thunderstorms.
Convection is possible again tomorrow afternoon, mostly over north Georgia; less coverage and intensity is likely with any development tomorrow afternoon. Daytime highs will be in the mid 80s to upper 90s across northern and central Georgia, with heat indices forecast to be between 85 and 105F. This does not yet warrant a Heat Advisory, but temperature trends will be monitored closely for the threat of these hazardously high temperatures/heat indices.
LONG TERM
(Monday morning through next Friday)
Issued at 243 PM EDT Sat Jun 27 2026
A strong ridge of high pressure will be the main event during the long term period. Given the strong ridge of high pressure, calm and dry conditions are expected through much of the period. With that said, dangerously hot temperatures and heat index values are expected.
Some low end PoPs are possible underneath this ridge but the main hazard will be the hot and humid conditions leading to dangerous heat index values this weekend and into early next week.
Temperatures are expected to be above average. Max heat index values will likely get into the upper 90s to just over 100 degrees across much of the state by late this weekend and continuing into early next week.
