...Afternoon Area Forecast Discussion...

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Wednesday)
Issued at 255 PM EDT Tue Sep 9 2025

Key Messages:

- Dry conditions remain in place, and precipitation
is not expected.

- Overnight low temperatures will be in the low 50s to near 60.

- Daytime highs tomorrow will be in the mid 70s to upper 80s.

Dry air remains in place over northern and central Georgia. The 12Z
FFC upper air sounding shows a precipitable water value of 0.72
inches, which is below the 10th percentile climatologically (0.80
inches). Dry, stable air is in place aloft, with an inversion
between 785 and 770 hPa, and RH values above 785 hPa being generally
below 20 percent. High pressure will remain in place, helping to
sustain these dry, sunny conditions, with the nearest moisture being
associated with a stationary front that remains in place over the
northern part of the peninsula of Florida. The highest PoP over the
CWA is over southeastern Toombs county, at two percent. No
additional moisture is expected tomorrow.

Temperatures are expected to increase somewhat tomorrow compared to
today, with daytime highs in the mid 70s to upper 80s. That being
said, with so little moisture in place, heat indices are not
expected to be any higher than those mid 70s to upper 80s. Overnight
lows will be in the low 50s to near 60 tonight and tomorrow night.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday morning through next Monday)
Issued at 255 PM EDT Tue Sep 9 2025

Key Messages:

- Dry conditions expected through the extended period.

- Gradual warming trend into the weekend.

Discussion:

Extended forecast remains dry through the period. Persistent
broad troughing over the eastern CONUS and high pressure at the
surface will keep PoPs below 10% across north and central Georgia.
In general, expect afternoon temps in the mid 80s to near 90 (1-6
degrees above normal) by Thursday, and plateauing through the
weekend. Overnight lows should stay largely in the 60s, with 5-10
degrees cooler in the mountains.

Unfortunately, beyond the weekend looks to stay similarly warm and
dry, which could be a recipe for rapid drying of soils and flora.
If you have not already, it may be time to water outdoor plants
again as the heat returns.
