.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 146 AM EST Fri Dec 5 2025

Rain Chances through Saturday:

A deep fetch of sub-tropical moisture from the Eastern Pacific and
Gulf will continue to stream over Georgia through Saturday. Multiple
weak shortwaves riding through the southwest flow aloft will
interact with this moisture, leading to several rounds of rainfall.
Due to the deepest moisture (PW values 1.4 to 1.8 inches) hanging
out over central and southern Georgia, the bulk of the rain today
and Saturday should fall south of Interstate 20. Rainfall totals
of 0.20 to 0.80 inches are expected between Atlanta and Macon,
with 0.70 to 1.30 inches possible south of Macon. A lack of
instability (MUCAPE of 200 J/kg or less) should prevent severe
weather from being a concern.

Temperature Outlook:

Widespread cloud cover and areas of rainfall today should keep
temperatures towards the cooler side of the model guidance. This
looks like it will be especially true for central Georgia. Due to
these concerns we lowered today`s forecast high temperatures down
to the 25th percentile of the NBM. Most of northern Georgia should
be limited to highs in the 40s, while central Georgia should see
a mix of 40s and lower 50s this afternoon. A slight upward trend
in temperatures is anticipated on Saturday in north Georgia, where
afternoon highs should climb back to around 50 degrees.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 146 AM EST Fri Dec 5 2025

We pick up the long term on Saturday night where rain and showers
will still be ongoing across central Georgia. Complex upper level
pattern will continue to evolve into Monday. Upper level jet is
bifurcated with clear northern and southern branches. Impulse within
the southern branch will be clearing the CWA by Saturday night, but
southwest flow will remain over the area keeping moisture around and
shower chances in place through the day on Sunday across north and
central Georgia. Some questions remain on just how far north that
moisture will be able to get - ensembles lean towards another wave
of rain that primarily impacts central Georgia.

Yet another shortwave will dig within the southern branch into
the area Monday. This system may struggle to access moisture, but
models do indicated some chance of seeing a few more showers
before a cold front pushes through the area. This will finally
bring an end to a very wet and miserable weekend for many in north
and central Georgia, but not before central Georgia gets a much
needed 1-2" of rainfall. Colder air will filter in and skies will
clear, bringing lows below freezing across much of the CWA for
Tuesday morning. There is a decent chance some folks might even
see that bright ball of light in the sky on Tuesday as high
pressure settles over us and temperatures warm into the 50s.

Another quick hitting system may be possible by Wednesday evening
into Thursday as another front approaches the area associated with a
larger system moving over the Great Lakes. A lot of model
differences across the ensembles as to whether this frontal passage
will be dry - for now, just worth monitoring.
