SHORT TERM
(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 342 PM EDT Fri Apr 25 2025
A mid-/upper-level shortwave and forcing along a prefrontal trough have aided in the development of a broken line of showers and storms across TN and AL. This convective complex is expected to move through mainly north Georgia this evening and tonight, and could bring gusty to locally damaging winds. The general time frame for the complex to move through is ~6 PM to ~2 AM. Ahead of this feature, diurnally-driven isolated to scattered showers and storms can be expected, although convective initiation may not kick off until mid-afternoon given the cloud deck that has been in place this morning and early afternoon. Additionally, Day Cloud Phase Distinction satellite imagery is not yet indicating widespread towering Cu or cooling cloud tops indicative of instability being utilized. Like the hail with a few storms yesterday proved, marginal mid-level lapse rates of 6.5-7.0 C/km amid generous SBCAPE may support a few intense updrafts capable of damaging wind gusts and hail. Additionally, bulk shear remains relatively weak, so diurnally- driven storms will be slow-movers, capable of heavy rainfall.
For tomorrow (Saturday), have capped PoPs at 30% during peak heating, but even this may be too generous. Northwest flow and a weak ridge will move in behind the exiting aforementioned shortwave trough. This general flow pattern will support increased subsidence, which should limit any convection to isolated at most.

LONG TERM
(Sunday morning through next Thursday)
Issued at 342 PM EDT Fri Apr 25 2025
- High pressure through the long term will keep temps warm and the chance for thunderstorms slim.
- More unsettled weather possible towards the end of next week.
High pressure over the southeast is expected to set up and hold strong through most of the long term forecast. Temps are expected to be in the upper 80s with overnight lows in the upper 50s and low 60s. Given the temps, an afternoon thunderstorm is certainly possible but the threat for widespread storms will remain low.
A front is expected to stall across TN/N. GA at some point late next week, which will bring the chance for some rain back to the northern part of the state. The trick with the forecast is where the front eventually stalls, some solutions further north continue the dry spell and as a result we've decided to keep the possibility of rain capped at slight until we can get a better look at it. Aside from needing the rain, this front doesn't currently appear to pose any risk for severe weather or significant flooding, but please continue to monitor the forecast if you have plans.

(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 741 PM EDT Fri Apr 25 2025
A line of shra/tsra has begun to move into NW GA. Elected to push back timing of tsra at MCN/AHN to 03z-06z and 04-08z respectively. Otherwise, thunder should be thru the ATL sites and CSG by 04z with lingering shra for a few hours. Expect cigs to deteriorate overnight though patchy at first. Still uncertainties as far as the potential/extent of MVFR/IFR cigs but elected to add a TEMPO for IFR cigs at RYY btwn 09z-13z. Winds waffle from SE/SW side until the convection moves through at which point will go calm/VRB overnight and switching to the W/WNW on Saturday.
