.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 232 AM EST Fri Nov 28 2025
Current satellite loop shows mostly clear skies over the state a
high pressure builds into the region. Currently the ridge is
centered over the upper MS river valley and will build E to SE
through Tonight. This ridge is expected to be centered over
Western VA/NC by early Sat morning keeping things dry across GA.
With this ridge building in the pressure gradient stays fairly
tight across the region today so we will see NW winds in the
8-14mph range with gust 20 to 22mph this afternoon. As this ridge
becomes centered over the Mid- Atlantic states overall flow across
GA become more Easterly. This will slowly increase moisture
across the area mainly in the form of increased cloud cover Sat
afternoon/evening.
Temps a bit cool with highs in the 40s and 50s this afternoon and
lows dipping back down into the 20s and 30s for Sat morning. Temps
warm a few degrees Sat with highs in the upper 40s to lower 60s.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 232 AM EST Fri Nov 28 2025
Sunday starts off the longterm with a low pressure system swinging
eastward from the western CONUS and pushing into the great lakes
region. A cold front is expected to push into the area as early as
overnight Sunday into early Sunday morning and continue pushing
southward into Sunday afternoon and evening. Like most fronts
lately, the forcing will be well to the north, so the chances much
rainfall reaches the southeast portions of our area remain lowered.
There are a few indicators that there could be a brief wintry mix
over the far northeast Georgia mountains Sunday as this system
pushes through depending on the strength. As some of the short range
model soundings have come in, there is more of indication of
freezing rain soundings for this area with the tell tale area of
warm air with the shallow below freezing air at the surface. Mostly
likely timing for this would be early Sunday morning as temps reach
closer to the low 30s. Confidence is lower on this scenario but
would not be surprised to see this occur in the higher elevations.
Pushing past this system the overall flow becomes unsettled with the
potential for another shot of rainfall to push into the area in the
Monday-Tuesday time frame. Timing is a bit uncertain at this time
and will come together better over the weekend, but kept with the
increased rain chances during this time frame. Late week could see
another push of rainfall but with the unsettled pattern will wait to
talk more on timing. High temps will be just below normal with daily
highs in the 50-60 degree range with overnight lows in the
30s-40s.
