Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Acworth, GA

SHORT TERM
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 245 AM EDT Sat Oct 17 2026

The remainder of the coldfront continues to sweep across the area bringing gusty NW conditions. A few light showers are being picked up on radar, though it is doubtful that more than a few drops are making it to the ground at this time. Cloud cover will clear quickly as the extremely dry air moves overhead. PWATs are still expected to drop below 0.5" through the day today. Models are likely overperforming on dewpoints, given past performance in postfrontal conditions. RH values during the day will need a close eye.

Overnight low temps are likely also a little high, especially for valleys of north Georgia where wind may drop to nearly nothing late Saturday night. A frost advisory has been issued for northeast Georgia where patchy frost is likely (the first of the season.

High temps through the weekend (and into Monday) will be a welcome 60 to 70. A lucky few may even see only the 50s in the north Georgia mountains!

LONG TERM
(Sunday night through Friday)
Issued at 245 AM EDT Sat Oct 17 2026

The long term period begins on Sunday night with upper level ridging extending from the Deep South towards New England and associated surface high pressure near New England and the eastern Great Lakes.
This high pressure regime will keep a vertically stacked low pressure system well east of Georgia off the mid-Atlantic coast and promote dry conditions and PoPs near 0% across the Southeast for the majority of next week. Strong radiational cooling overnight will lead to low temperatures in the mid to upper 30s in far north Georgia and low to mid 40s elsewhere across the area on Monday morning. High temperatures on Monday will rise into the upper 60s to low 70s. With plenty of sunshine and increasing 1000-500 mb thicknesses, temperatures will be on the rise through midweek. By Wednesday and through the remainder of the week, lows will be in the mid 40s to low 50s while highs will largely be in the mid to upper 70s.
