.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 628 AM EDT Fri Oct 10 2025

    - Breezy conditions along with mild temperatures continue into
      Friday before warming pattern into the weekend.

    - Coastal low brings increased rain chances and cloud cover
      for southeast central Georgia before dry conditions prevail
      Saturday.

    - A dry weather pattern will linger through next week, and
      combine with warming temperatures to favor continued or
      worsening drought conditions.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 628 AM EDT Fri Oct 10 2025

Coastal low off the Georgia Atlantic coast will be the main
driving factor for any shower development today. CAMs are
suggesting showers could reach into southeast central Georgia and
further northwestward but ultimately should stay confined to the
fall line and southward. Wind gusts of 20-25mph will continue
into this afternoon before tapering off into the overnight with
partly cloudy skies clearing out as well. The only real change
made was to increase rain chances over the southeastern portion of
central Georgia into the afternoon to account for the better
agreement in CAMs guidance. With increased chances for rain and
overall mostly cloudy to overcast skies expected over the southern
third of the CWA, decided to lower the max Ts in this area to top
out at 70 instead of the mid 70s. Based off latest guidance,
temps will struggle to get above 70s today for that area but the
remainder of the area should stay in the low to mid 70s for highs
with less cloud cover the further north you go.

Expecting the coastal low to push northeastward along the Atlantic
coast tomorrow which will limit rain chances to the far
southeastern counties of central Georgia with rain chances less
than 10% over this area. As a result, cloud cover will also push
further northeastward allowing the high pressure to fully settle
into place and limit cloud cover and thus start our warming trend
with highs in the mid to upper 70s across the area. Lows continue
to remain in the mid 50s for much of the area through Saturday
night with lows in the 40s over the northern portions of the area.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 628 AM EDT Fri Oct 10 2025

Temperatures will be back on the rise starting early on Sunday after
a several day stretch of more fall-like conditions. Ensemble
guidance is in agreement regarding a stout mid-/upper-level ridge
parking over the southern and central CONUS by early next week,
promoting increasing temperatures and dry conditions across north
and central Georgia. Given this synoptic pattern, the long term
period brings essentially no rain chances and ample sunshine. As a
result, maintenance and/or expansion of Moderate Drought (D1)
conditions and Severe Drought (D2) conditions across parts of
western Georgia, central Georgia, and the Atlanta metro area are
likely in the week ahead.&&
