.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 212 AM EST Fri Dec 19 2025

A weakening line of gusty showers and storms associated with a
cold front is actively moving through north and central Georgia
early this morning, dropping 0.25-0.5 inches of rainfall as it
goes. Following this frontal passage, deep northwest flow and
surface high pressure will usher in a cooler and drier airmass for
the end of the work week. By sunrise this morning, most of the
area will be under clear skies with breezy northwest winds. High
temps will only reach the upper 40s to low 50s across north GA,
with mid to upper 50s across central GA. Under clear skies and
weakening winds Friday night, overnight lows will fall to the
upper 20s to low 30s. During the day on Saturday, the high
pressure will shift off to the east, and winds will turn out of
the south, initiating a warming trend. Skies will remain mostly
clear, and high temps will climb into the upper 50s to low 60s,
making for a very pleasant start to the weekend (spoiler alert, Sunday
will be really nice too).

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 212 AM EST Fri Dec 19 2025

All of the interesting weather is found in the short term. But
I`ll do my best to make this part enjoyable too.

As the long term forecast picks up a relatively impressive ridge
establishes itself across the southeast setting us up for plenty
of dry weather. In fact, neither the Euro or the GFS have any
meaningful precip for our CWA through the rest of the run. As the
ridge builds through the weekend and into next week, temperatures
will gradually climb with it. By the time Christmas day rolls
around, we`re expecting temperatures across the region to be in
the low to mid 70s which is around 20 degrees higher than what
we`d expect this time of year.

Overnight lows will continue to improve through the weekend and
into next week as well. Overnight lows for Monday and Tuesday will
drop to around freezing, but after that we`re expecting lows to
be limited to the 40s and 50s for the remainder of the week. If
you`re looking for a white Christmas, you might want to try
Minnesota.
