SHORT TERM
(Today through Thursday)
Issued at 456 AM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025
Key Messages:
-Patchy dense fog along and north of I-85 through this morning with visibilities down to 1/4 mile.
-Showers and thunderstorm expected this afternoon across north and central Georgia. Marginal risk over central and southeast Georgia.
For this morning, have seen visibility values as low at 1/4 SM along and north of I-85. Although patchy in nature, this has led to the issuance of an SPS through 9 am this morning. Low clouds are also in place across much of this area. As the morning goes on should see the fog begin to dissipate but the lower overcast skies will likely remain until the afternoon. For this afternoon should begin to see showers begin this afternoon as we continue this summer like pattern. Taking a look at the dynamics, southeast central Georgia is the focus for the highest CAPE values at ~1200-1400 J/kg and thus SPC has appropriately highlighted this area with a marginal risk for severe weather. There will be an axis of CAPE over north Georgia as well so would not be surprised to see storms over much of north and central Georgia although they will likely be scattered in nature.
With almost non-existent shear these storms will likely be popcorn in nature with them going up then and down. Hail and wind will be the main threats today. Overnight tomorrow should see light winds and the rain dissipate resulting in another chance for patchy fog in areas where rain occurred during this afternoon.

LONG TERM
(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 456 AM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025
Our summer like pattern continues through the beginning of the long term starting on Friday. Flow aloft remains relatively weak Friday, though convectively induced wave does look to sweep by quickly that may enhance afternoon convection chances within our warm, moist surface airmass. Saturday, stronger upper level wave will dig into the Midwest and push surface high pressure to the north of the area. Thunderstorms will still be possible during the afternoon as subtropical airmass hangs in place. On Saturday night, weak front should push into the CWA from the north and northeast, becoming more of a wedge like front as the surface high slides over the Appalachians to the north. Some diurnal thunderstorm chances will be possible on Sunday with this. By Monday, this should finally push our surface moisture out, putting an end to our diurnally driven convection chances for a few days.
Next system will bring moisture back into the CWA on Wednesday.
Hard to "pinpoint" any day that might have any elevated severe chances. Surface instability likely remains one of the biggest elements of uncertainty, as cloud cover that will act a limiter will be driven by remnant convection and showers from each previous day, and the upper levels will be increasingly worked over by rounds of rain and convection. Saturday may have some chances given shear will be on the increase and frontal forcing may provide for additional lift, but uncertainty remains very high.
Temperatures remain warm through the long term. Low to mid 80s will be in place Friday and Saturday. High Sunday and Monday may be a few degrees cooler than previous days, before temperatures begin to warm back up ahead of the next incoming system.

Patchy fog is developing over the western part of the state but is very patchy in nature. Expecting showers to come in around 10-11z with lower cigs with temporary IFR conditions with any heavies showers. Should see another batch of showers and potential for thunderstorms between 19 and 01z which should be scattered in nature. Winds should turn more easterly tomorrow as well.
