.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Monday)
Issued at 212 PM EST Sun Nov 1 2026

North and central Georgia are "wedged" with pseudo cold air damming
courtesy of high pressure centered on the Mid-Atlantic. The result
will be continued breezy easterly winds (sustained 10-15 mph with
gusts 20-30 mph) and a partly to mostly cloudy sky through the short
term period. Have dropped forecast high temperatures by a couple
degrees across much of central Georgia this afternoon given
persistent dense cloud cover and intermittent patchy light rain.
Expecting rain to taper off after sunset as a weak shortwave trough
shifts eastward aloft and moisture feeding across the state wanes.

Rain chances for tomorrow (Monday) are essentially nil as weak
ridging develops aloft. Of course, cannot rule out a spritz or
sprinkle from the low-level cloud deck in the morning. Gradually
eroding cloud cover will make for afternoon high temperatures in the
lower 70s to right around 80 (outside of the mountains). Easterly
winds will likely not be quite as breezy as today.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday morning through next Saturday)
Issued at 212 PM EST Sun Nov 1 2026

The long term starts off with another system as a low pressure
center moves through the Great Lakes, brining a cold front across
much of the southeast. Rainfall values between half and one and a
half inch are expected across the CWA beginning Wednesday evening
and running through Saturday afternoon. A few thunderstorms are
possible, as temps climb into the mid 70s on Wednesday, but
widespread severe weather is not expected at this time as much of
the stronger dynamics to this system will be off to the north and
west.

After the front moves through, afternoon high temperatures will
continue to stay above normal as building high pressure from the
gulf pushes warm tropical air into the region. With highs in the low
to mid 70s and overnight lows in the 40s and 50s, temperatures will
be running anywhere from 5-10 degrees above normal for early
November.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1252 PM EST Sun Nov 1 2026

MVFR to low-VFR CIGs and patchy/intermittent -RA are expected
into tonight. Patchy IFR CIGs are noted across N and CNTRL
Georgia, but are not expected at any TAF sites at this time. CIGs
should gradually scatter and/or lift early to middle tomorrow
(Monday) afternoon. Winds will remain breezy out of the ESE to ENE
at around 8-13 kts with gusts to around 20-23 kts. Gusts should
be weaker tomorrow -- up to around 20 kts at most.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
Medium confidence on timing of CIG changes.
High confidence on all other elements.
