forecast dew points across this area tomorrow. The result is
forecast minimum relative humidities ranging from 20% to 30% late

made by the overnight shift.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Wednesday)
Issued at 226 PM EST Tue Dec 16 2025

Current satellite loop shows clear skies across north and central
GA as high pressure continues to dominate the weather pattern.
The ridge is still centered over central/south GA but it is
beginning to weaken and is still expected to slide off the GA/SC
coast tonight. Even through the ridge center will push off shore
the ridge axis will continue across the state through Wed evening.

As this ridge weakens, the next wave to move in across the state
is beginning to develop along the southern TX Gulf coast. This
next wave stays fairly stationary over the next 24 hours as the
ridge is not allowing it to push eastward. It just continues to
develop along the TX/LA gulf coast before ejecting NE Wed night.
This wave pushes into MS/AL early Thu morning bringing precip to
west GA just after sunrise Thu. For the short term we will mostly
see increased cloud cover Wed/Wed night with the precip moving in
during the extended periods.

With clear skies and the ridge still in control tonight temps
will dip back down to near freezing for most areas. With the ridge
pushing offshore we start to get into warmer southerly flow which
helps the temps to rebound Wed into the upper 50s to lower 60s
across north and central GA. The increased cloud cover Wed
night/Thu morning from the incoming wave will only allow temps to
to get down into the 40s.
