Afternoon Area Forecast Discussion
SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Saturday)
Issued at 152 PM EDT Fri May 23 2025
Key Messages:
- Cool and dry airmass settles in today.
- Shower and thunderstorm activity returns Saturday.
A pleasant Friday across northern and central Georgia, especially for late May standards, thanks to a cool and dry frontal boundary pushing through the area and high pressure sitting over the Tennessee Valley. While an isolated shower cannot be ruled out this afternoon along the boundary, most areas will be rain free under mostly sunny skies and breezy northerly winds. High temperatures will climb into the upper 70s across northern GA, with low to mid 80s across central GA.
Late tonight into early Saturday morning, increasing cloud cover and isolated to scattered showers will start to push into NW GA.
These will develop along an axis of moisture convergence setting up out ahead of a mid-level shortwave quickly dropping across the Mississippi Valley. Shower activity will be confined to N/NW GA for the morning and into the afternoon hours, with a few thunderstorms possible. High temperatures will range significantly across the area, with far northern GA only reaching the low to mid 70s under mostly cloudy skies, and central GA reaching the mid to upper 80s under mostly clear skies. By early Saturday evening, the aforementioned shortwave will start to push into the state from the NW, and could lead to an uptick in shower/storm activity as it moves through the state the rest pf the evening and into the overnight hours. A few storms could become strong with gusty winds during this time, but the potential for severe storms is low given the weak instability in place.

LONG TERM
(Sunday morning through next Thursday)
Issued at 152 PM EDT Fri May 23 2025
Key Messages:
- An unsettled forecast with elevated rain chances will linger across the area through the long-term forecast period.
- A CAD wedge will provide cooler temperatures to north Georgia during the early week.
- Locally heavy rainfall is possible given abundant moisture.
The bulk of the long term forecast will bring increased rain chances and generally unsettled weather. The CWA will begin transitioning out of northwest flow aloft at the start of the forecast period Sunday. PoPs will remain elevated on Sunday, maximized across north Georgia with more scattered coverage farther south. Forecast SBCAPE 1000-1500 J/kg will support thunderstorms, though generally unimpressive shear will limit the overall severe threat. Still, the environment could manifest at least an isolated severe threat, particularly if any MCS approaches, weakens, and leaves remnant outflow boundaries to provide impetus for afternoon convective development.
By Monday into Tuesday, a CAD wedge looks to build into north Georgia, though CAD intensity remains a bit of a question mark at this juncture. In any case, temperatures should be noticeably cooler across north Georgia under the influence of this wedge with hotter temperatures relegated farther southward into Middle Georgia. Waves of showers and thunderstorms are expected through at least midweek as intermittent upper disturbances progress eastward across the area amid an environment characterized by above-normal moisture with PWATs on the order of 1.5 to 2" through the week. Locally heavy rainfall will be possible within daily convection which could lead to isolated flash flooding concerns, though widespread flooding issues are not currently anticipated.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 102 PM EDT Fri May 23 2025
VFR conditions prevail the rest of the day with breezy NW winds around 10G20kt tapering off late this evening. Increasing cloud coverage (generally 050-100 kft) from Saturday morning on with ISO-SCT SHRA. Can't rule out an afternoon ISO TSRA, but confidence is too low to mention. Any SHRA/TSRA would bring brief periods of MVFR or worse. Winds will be light on Saturday, generally around 5-7 kts or less out of the NE/E.
//ATL Confidence
18Z Update
Medium confidence on SHRA/TSRA activity, and on wind direction on Saturday. High on all other elements.
