Afternoon Area Forecast Discussion
SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Friday)
Issued at 252 PM EDT Thu Jul 17 2025
Key Messages:
- Diurnally-driven, scattered thunderstorms are expected each afternoon and evening.
- Hot and humid conditions will ramp up into the weekend with Heat Index values soaring to above 105.
Trapped moisture under the building subtropical ridge will continue to produce isolated to scattered thunderstorms through the short term. No widespread or organized severe weather is expected at this time, but any strong storms are capable of producing gusty winds, locally heavy rainfall and frequent lightning.
The strengthening high pressure will heat up temperatures into the weekend. Have adjusted Friday dew points down slightly to account for afternoon mixing, but Heat Index values still look to reach 105 to 107 in isolated areas of east and central Georgia. Will allow overnight shift to tailor these forecast elements before deciding on a Heat Advisory.

LONG TERM
(Saturday morning through next Wednesday)
Issued at 252 PM EDT Thu Jul 17 2025
Key Messages:
- Muggy, hot conditions will persist through the long term forecast period with Heat Advisories more likely for portions of the area by the weekend.
- Mainly isolated diurnal showers and thunderstorms are expected over the weekend with chances trending upward by early next week.
The theme for the bulk of the long term forecast period will continue to be the hot and summery temperatures. The persistent midlevel ridge will remain anchored over the southeastern US, providing plenty of impetus for ongoing heat. These temperatures look likely to reach an apex over the weekend into early next week with highs reaching the mid to upper 90s areawide through this time frame. Apparent temperatures will exceed 100 for most locations (outside of the mountains) each afternoon with 105-110 more likely across east central Georgia. Thus, probabilities are highest for Heat Advisory issuance across Middle and east central Georgia counties, though some potential does exist for a Heat Advisory to extend farther northward toward the Atlanta metro by Sunday into Monday as temperatures and heat index values peak.
Chances for rainfall will remain relatively lower through the weekend with generally only isolated to widely scattered diurnal convection possible each afternoon/evening. PoPs begin to trend upward by Monday courtesy of an approaching backdoor cold front.
As a tough swings through New England, a weak frontal boundary should push southwestward across the Carolinas and toward the area by late Monday. As surface high pressure drops from Quebec into New England on Tuesday, the frontal boundary looks to get a further nudge into our area with a weak summer CAD pattern setting up. Given the frontal interaction with the deep moisture in place, an increased coverage of diurnally-enhanced showers and thunderstorms will likely occur during the Monday-Wednesday time frame. While no significant cooldown is in the offing, increased convective coverage could offer hope for some afternoon relief.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 135 PM EDT Thu Jul 17 2025
Generally VFR conditions expected through the period. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible over western GA this afternoon, but then diminish late evening. Lower ceilings (SCT-BKN MVFR, FEW-SCT IFR) will spread into west GA after 07-08Z and will be slow to improve through 12-14Z. SW-SE winds of 5-8kt are expected through this afternoon and evening, with light and variable overnight, before resuming again Friday.
