SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Wednesday)
Issued at 229 PM EDT Tue Jul 8 2025
Key Messages:
- Scattered to numerous thunderstorms each afternoon. A few storms on Wednesday could become severe, capable of producing damaging wind gusts.
- Heat index values between 100-104 degrees are forecast today and Wednesday afternoon.
Mid-level troughing extends from the northern Great Lakes southward through the Mississippi River Valley is expected to slowly progress eastward through the short term period and towards the end of the work week. Deep atmospheric moisture transport is ongoing into the Southeast within southwesterly flow aloft ahead of the trough and along the western side of the Bermuda high at the surface. Dewpoints have increased into the upper 60s to low 70s and precipitable water values have increased to between 1.5 and 2 inches, accordingly. High temperatures this afternoon are expected to rise into the low to mid 90s across most of the forecast area, with the warmest temperatures expected to the south of the I-85 corridor. These temperatures and aforementioned dewpoints will combine for heat index values between 100-104 degrees in all but the higher elevations of far northeast Georgia.
A few spots in east-central Georgia could furthermore briefly exceed 105 in the peak heating hours. A series of shortwave disturbances rounding the base of the broader troughing pattern and the moist airmass will support the return of diurnally driven convection each afternoon. Scattered showers and thunderstorms have developed over the last couple of hours, with PoPs forecast to range from 30-40 percent across the majority of the area this afternoon. A few storms could be strong and capable of frequent lightning and gusty winds, though severe weather looks unlikely overall today.
Temperatures on Wednesday will be a couple of degrees "cooler" across north and central Georgia given the increased rain chances and associated cloud cover. Highs are expected to rise into the upper 80s to low 90s in all but the higher elevations of far northeast Georgia, which will remain in the upper 70s to mid 80s.
With steadily increasing atmospheric moisture, dewpoints will continue their climb into the low to mid 70s and precipitable water values will range from 1.7 to 2.1 inches. In spite of the lower high temperatures, greater humidity will allow heat index "feels like" temperatures to reach maximum values of 100-104 degrees once again on Wednesday afternoon.
As atmospheric moisture content increases, so too will the coverage of thunderstorms. Diurnal thunderstorms are expected to develop by the late Wednesday morning within an unstable and weakly capped environment, becoming numerous in coverage (PoPs of 60-70 percent)
through the afternoon hours. SBCAPE values are anticipated to be higher than this afternoon, ranging from 1500-2500 J/kg with the highest values in central Georgia. High PWATs will also favor precip loading in downdrafts, bringing stronger winds aloft down to the surface. Because of this, the SPC has diagnosed a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for severe weather across the majority of north and central Georgia. Damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat with any severe thunderstorms that occur. All thunderstorms, even those below severe criteria, will also be capable of producing frequent lightning and locally heavy rainfall.

LONG TERM
(Thursday morning through next Monday)
Issued at 229 PM EDT Tue Jul 8 2025
Key Messages:
- More widespread shower and thunderstorm coverage can be expected from Thursday into Friday before more typical isolated to scattered coverage returns from the weekend into early next week.
- Temperatures will be somewhat cooler late week, before increasing back toward the mid 90s by early next week with heat index values also back on the increase.
The ongoing shift back to a stormier weather pattern will have fully taken hold by Thursday. Broad mid-level troughing will remain across the eastern CONUS. Meanwhile, deep Gulf moisture will be in place across the area, characterized by PWATs of 1.75 to 2", which climatologically speaking is in the 90th percentile ballpark for this time of year. Disturbances traversing to the north of our area will serve to enhance convective coverage during the afternoon and evening hours. PoPs will thus run well above climatological averages, especially Thursday and Friday. While widespread severe concerns are not expected, strong to isolated severe thunderstorms would be possible within this regime, primarily bringing a downburst wind threat. Additionally, given the anomalously moist environment, locally heavy rainfall could also lead to at least spotty flash flooding concerns, particularly beneath any slow- moving thunderstorms.
This pattern will begin to shift by the weekend as subtropical ridging will begin to expand across the Southeast, especially heading into early next week. Even so, deep moisture will remain entrenched beneath the ridge, resulting in isolated scattered diurnal convection remaining possible through early next week.
Despite this lingering afternoon storm potential, temperatures will likely begin to creep back upward by early next week given the building influence of the ridge.
Speaking of temperatures... the more widespread rainfall coverage Thursday and Friday will help to slightly keep a lid on afternoon highs, particularly across north Georgia where upper 80s/lower 90s are more likely. Given the very humid airmass in place, however, heat index values will still likely run as high as 100-104 degrees across portions of Middle and east central Georgia where convective coverage will be a bit lower. As mentioned above, by the weekend into early next week, temperatures will begin to rise again, with mid 90s highs becoming more likely. Heat index values by this point will need to be watched as some areas could begin to encroach on the Heat Advisory criteria of 105.

Majority VFR conditions to continue thru the TAF period with primarily FEW-SCT cigs at 4-10kft. SCT to NUMEROUS -TSRA is psbl between 19-02Z, captured by a PROB group for all northern terminals. May need to be upgraded to a TEMPO depending upon coverage. Low cigs (MVFR to perhaps IFR) are psbl tomorrow morning post- TSRA, but location will depend on progression this aftn.
Winds will remain out of the W at 4-7kts.
