...Morning Area Forecast Discussion...

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Patchy fog, some dense, possible across central and western
  portions of north Georgia through about 10am.

- Low end precipitation chances of 10 to 20% each day through
  Monday. Highest chances generally in central Georgia and on
  Monday with a weak cold front.

- Weak cold front brings dry and cool conditions Monday evening
  and beyond.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 130 AM EDT Sun May 10 2026

Little changes expected over the coming 48 hours. Low end PoPs
continue across portions of central Georgia, with little
accumulation expected with any rain showers that do occur.

In the mean time, the main hazard potential will be fog and low
clouds. Patchy dense fog will be possible this morning depending on
how soon upper level clouds can clear out of the area. Should we see
a faster clear out, similar to recent HRRR solutions, a dense fog
advisory may not be out of the question. Greatest probability for
fog is south of I20 and may last through 10am.

Monday will be the next shot at precipitation, as a cold-front
descends from the northwest. At this time, any rain associated with
this will be light and spotty due to continued cut off flow from The
Gulf.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 130 AM EDT Sun May 10 2026

Dry with Seasonable Temps Into the Weekend:

Following the cold front on Monday, a dry airmass and surface
high pressure will spread across the region through the middle of
the week. A shortwave and associated cold front will be dropping
from the Great Lakes into the Mid-Atlantic late Wednesday, with
the latest ensemble guidance keeping any rain chances from this
just north of our area. A reinforcement of dry northwest flow
will spread over the region behind that system, and keep
conditions rain-free through the rest of the week and into the
weekend. Temperatures will vary from day to day Tuesday through
Friday, but generally remain around normal for this time of year,
with highs in the 70s to low 80s, and overnight lows in the 50s.
Model guidance starts to spread over the weekend, but generally
shows a ridge building from the Gulf up across the Southeast US,
which would lead to warming temperatures and generally low rain
chances.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 123 AM EDT Sun May 10 2026

Split conditions across area. ATL metro sites and AHN will see
mostly VFR conditions through TAF outside a brief window of patchy
IFR conditions due to low cigs and patchy fog. Southern sites will
more see isolated sprinkles with drizzle on top of more widespread
fog. Greatest vsby restrictions this morning will be along GA/AL
border, potentially dropping to less than 1/4SM. Conditions clear
by late morning. Winds generally <5kts through period W to NW.

//ATL Confidence...06Z Update...
Low confidence IFR cigs coverage and timing.
Medium confidence all other elements, increasing to high
confidence after 16z today.
