Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Marietta, GA

SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Saturday)
Issued at 145 PM EST Fri Nov 6 2026

Temperatures this afternoon will climb into the upper 70s and lower 80s with temperatures continuing to run above normal tomorrow as well. High temperatures will continue to run around 5 degrees above normal through the short term and through the rest of the long term as warmer than normal conditions persist under weak upper level flow.

The only thing of significant to note in the short term forecast will be gusty NW winds as the cold front pushes off over the Atlantic. Expect to see winds around 10-15 mph this afternoon with gusts as high as 25 mph possible, especially in the higher elevations of NE Georgia.

LONG TERM
(Sunday morning through next Thursday)
Issued at 145 PM EST Fri Nov 6 2026

An upper level low will move along the northeast coast at the beginning of the long term. As it does, it will continue to funnel a significant amount of mid to upper level dry air southeastward over our area through Monday. By Tuesday, a moisture-starved shortwave will move into the Arklatex region, which may bring an increase in scattered clouds by mid week, but precipitation chances will remain near zero through at least Thursday. Overall, we can expect surface high pressure to keep our area dry and tranquil during the majority of the long term.

By the end of the period, another shortwave will traverse a broad upper level trough, with some disagreement in the guidance on the timing and placement of any developing associated surface low. The most favorable chance for precipitation will hold off at least until the end of next week and hinge on whether it is able to develop enough to advect deeper Gulf moisture over the area.

Temperatures will be within a few degrees of seasonal norms, with highs ranging from the mid to upper 60s north of the Atlanta metro area to the low to mid 70s farther south. Morning lows will be the coolest yet this fall, ranging from the mid to upper 30s to low 40s.
