.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Monday)
Issued at 229 PM EST Sun Feb 1 2026

Temps are on track to top out in the low to upper 30s across much
of the area today with mostly sunny skies across the area. As the
trough pushes eastward and a secondary shortwave pushes through
the main flow, cloudy skies will be possible for tomorrow but no
precipitation expected. Ridging pushes into the area which begins
the slow warm up into the week.

For tomorrow morning, temps will reach down into the upper teens
to low 20s across the area with wind chills in the upper teens for
most areas. Will stay just out of cold weather advisory criteria
but do keep the cold weather tips in mind. Winds will begin to
slacken into the overnight which should help with the wind chills.
Any areas that still have snowfall on untreated roadways are
likely to see a refreeze overnight leading to patchy black ice
potential.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday morning through next Saturday)
Issued at 229 PM EST Sun Feb 1 2026

At the start of the long term period on Tuesday, presiding surface
high pressure will be in the process of being nudged offshore by a
series of shortwaves rounding the base of a broader trough at the
mid-levels (with a cold front in tow). As the front makes its way
across the Southeast over the course of the day Tuesday into
Wednesday, chances for showers will return for much of north and
central Georgia. Rainfall totals remain on the low-end areawide,
with most forecast to see just a quarter to a third of an inch.

Behind the front, northwesterly flow sets up at the mid-levels,
paving the way for mostly clear and dry conditions for the remainder
of the extended. Highs will be in the mid-40s to 50s each day
(coolest post-front on Thursday), with lows in the 20s to 30s (and
in the 40s on Wednesday morning before the influence of the front is
felt).

.AVIATION...

to weaken overnight and will turn westerly Monday morning.
Westerly winds pick back up to around 8-10kts by Monday afternoon,
