Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Atlanta, GA

SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Monday)
Issued at 144 PM EST Sun Feb 8 2026

Clear skies and light winds through tomorrow night. Mid level ridging and a sfc high to the south will drive moisture and warmer conditions across the southeast, though sinking air will suppress precip chances to near zero. Highs tomorrow will be in the 60s for most, lows in the 30s and 40s. High clouds through tomorrow may pose a challenge for exact temperature forecast depending on the exact thickness and radiative properties of said coverage. Thinner, more widespread, high clouds may lead to warmer temps than expected.
Increasing moisture at the surface will help to moderate RH values, but with recent dry conditions we are unlikely to see any significant improvement.

LONG TERM
(Tuesday morning through next Saturday)
Issued at 144 PM EST Sun Feb 8 2026

The first key point of discussion for the upcoming week will be the ongoing warming trend that will bring well above normal temperatures during the early to midweek timeframe. Tuesday continues to favor the warmest temperatures of the week as shortwave ridging is maximized, bringing highs likely into the 70s for most locations outside of the mountains (warm but likely safely below daily records). Rain chances return Tuesday night into Wednesday as a southern stream wave rides eastward in tandem with an approaching cold front. Rainfall amounts Tuesday night into Wednesday continue to appear relatively light, likely a tenth of an inch or less for many with probabilities for higher totals (~0.25") highest across far north Georgia.

After a likely drier Thursday, a relatively unsettled pattern looks to remain in place as the aforementioned frontal boundary stalls to the south and additional disturbances arrive within the northwest flow aloft. Forecast details remain murky by next weekend regarding rainfall coverage and amounts, but PoPs will remain elevated.
Temperatures will also likely return closer to normal by this time as surface CAD looks to make a reappearance.
