Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Emerson, GA

SHORT TERM
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 303 AM EST Sun Nov 8 2026

Surface high pressure continues to settle in over the Southeast as the morning begins. Mostly clear skies and diminishing winds under the high will favor strong radiational cooling. Low temperatures this morning will be between 32 and 36 degrees in portions of northwest Georgia, which will be favorable for the development of at least patchy frost. A Frost Advisory remains in effect for this area until 9 AM this morning. A shortwave will traverse the northwesterly flow aloft through the Midwest into the Tennessee Valley region, sending another frontal boundary southward through the forecast area this afternoon. Due to the influence of the high, no sensible weather impacts are expected ahead of the front aside from some scattered clouds. High temperatures this afternoon are forecast to be about 3-5 degrees above daily normals, in the mid to upper 60s to the north of I-20 and in the low to mid 70s to the south.

A reinforcing shot of drier air will filter into the area late this afternoon into tonight in the wake of the front, lowering dewpoints into the 30s in north Georgia and low 40s in central Georgia. Low temperatures on Monday morning will be similar to today. Lows in the low to mid 30s in portions of north and west Georgia will likely warrant another Frost Advisory tomorrow morning, though a hard freeze is not expected at this time. Highs on Monday will be a rinse and repeat of today under mostly clear skies. Amid the drier air and subsidence under the high, relative humidity values on Monday afternoon are forecast to decrease to near 25% for a couple of hours. The need for a Fire Danger Statement will need to be monitored in ensuing forecast packages.

LONG TERM
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 303 AM EST Sun Nov 8 2026

Pleasant and dry weather continues through the middle of the upcoming week with high pressure over the region. Temperatures will warm up slightly, but remain around normal with highs in the 70s, and overnight lows in the upper 30s to low 40s. Confidence in the details of the forecast start to drop off in the Thursday-Friday timeframe, but the general consensus is that a strong trough amd associated cold front will move across the Eastern US and bring at least slight rain chances to our area. It is looking increasingly likely that the coolest airmass of the season thus far would move in for next weekend, with lows approaching or even falling below freezing across much of the area. High temperatures during this timeframe would likely top out in the 50s to low 60s.
