SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Tuesday)
Issued at 147 PM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025
Key Messages:
- Scattered afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms each day with the main threats being gusty winds (40-50mph), and frequent lightning.
- Saturated soils and additional rounds of rainfall may lead to an increased risk for localized flooding.
Another day, another round of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms, though coverage may be more isolated to scattered than in recent days, especially across north GA. As has been the case for the past several days, the primary driver of this pattern has been a large ridge of high pressure off the coast of the Southeast US. The other noteworthy feature at this time is an upper level shortwave trough moving across the lower Mississippi Valley. Deep south-southwest flow continues to pump warm and humid air across Georgia, with PWAT values ranging around 1.7-2.0". With better forcing for convection off to our west associated with the shortwave, today's shower and thunderstorm coverage will be a bit lower. Still, there will be plenty of moisture and instability to support isolated to scattered pop-up showers and storms through the evening hours, with primary threats being gusty winds, frequent lightning, and heavy rainfall. After days of locally heavy rainfall, some areas have saturated soils, so if those areas are hit with additional rounds of showers or storms we could see a localized flooding threat.
Tomorrow, the aforementioned shortwave will continue to push east across the TN Valley, but gradually flatten/weaken as it does so.
With the environment otherwise remaining relatively unchanged compared to today, the forcing from the shortwave will bring better shower and thunderstorm chances, especially across northwest GA where forcing is greatest. Deep-layer wind shear will also increase a bit across this area (up to 20-25kts), so there is potential for a few severe thunderstorms to develop or move in from E/NE AL during the afternoon and evening. Primary hazards with any storms would be gusty/damaging winds, frequent lightning, and heavy rainfall with a localized flood threat for hardest hit areas.
Temperatures will be warm and humid each day, with highs reaching the upper 80s across north GA, and low 90s across central GA. Dewpoints in the low-mid 70s will make things feel about 5 degrees higher than that. Lows will only fall to the low 70s.

LONG TERM
(Wednesday morning through next Sunday)
Issued at 147 PM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025
Key Messages:
- Rising temps and heat indices as storm coverage lessens.
- Localized storms could still create flooding concerns through the long term.
By Wednesday, the surface to upper level ridge centered just off the FL/GA coast is keeping GA in moist Southwesterly flow to begin the extended periods. This ridge is expected to strengthen slowly through the weekend and into next week becoming the dominate weather feature controlling the pattern over the southeastern U.S.
This ridge will also help to cap convective activity through day 7 but in turn we will also see temps and heat indices increasing too. Looking at 60% to 80% PoPs at the beginning of the forecast slowly decreasing to 20% to 40% by day 7. Also, by the time we get towards the end of the work week we'll likely be seeing triple digit heat indices for the first time this year as temps rise into the mid 90s and dewpoints stay in the 70s. The models don't show any sign of relief and the only chance we have of seeing a temporary reprieve will come in the form of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
Continual SW flow out off the Gulf will fuel not just the humidity but our diurnal pattern. Afternoon thunderstorms are expected through the rest of the work week but by Saturday the Euro is picking up on a bit of a pattern change. As the surface ridge strengthens the upper level ridge moves a bit further north into the Mid Atlantic states putting us in east upper level flow.
This will bring in Atlantic moisture instead of Gulf moisture which should be a little less moisture latent.
One of the big concerns we have this week will be flooding. With dewpoints this high, our afternoon storms are likely to be efficient rain makers. Precipitable water values (PWs) remain in the 1.5" to 2.5" range through the periods. If storms line up over the same area day after day, we could see some isolated flash flooding or some rivers that go to flood stage.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 121 PM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025
Primarily VFR conditions through the evening, with best SHRA/TSRA chances at CSG/MCN/AHN where TEMPOs are included. PROB30s in for the ATL area sites. Convection could linger until around 03-04Z.
Potential for MFVR/IFR CIGs (007-015) to develop early Tue AM (10-13Z), but guidance has been backing off on that. Winds generally W-SW at 5-10kts or less through the period.
//ATL Confidence
18Z Update
Medium confidence on SHRA/TSRA chances and timing, and CIGs Tue AM. High confidence on wind.
