LONG TERM
(Thursday morning through next Monday)
Issued at 223 PM EDT Tue Apr 14 2026

Staying Warm, and Dry for Most through Saturday:

The extended periods begin right where the short term leaves off with dry and warm conditions continuing. With zero precip chances Thu, Fri, and Sat, temps expected to rise well above seasonal norms with highs in the middle 80s to middle 90s across north and central GA. The models are showing the ridge over the region weakening Sat as a weak frontal boundary nears NW GA Sat night. the biggest issue is the atmosphere is extremely dry ahead of this front so as it pushes into GA it dries out and most of the area will only see increased cloud cover. Portions of NW GA will see some light showers Sat night into Sun morning but only expecting 0.1" to 0.25" total for area North and West of Carrollton, to Atlanta, to Gainesville line.

Unfortunately, even with this frontal boundary moving through it is very likely not going to support the coverage and amount of rainfall necessary to put a dent in the Severe (D2) to Extreme Drought (D3)
that covers much of the CWA

The front is expected to move south and east of the area Sun night bringing in a cooler airmass for the beginning of next week. Temps Mon morning will be down into the 40s with highs Mon mainly in the 70s.
