.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Friday)
Issued at 209 PM EST Thu Dec 11 2025

With relatively dry, northwesterly flow aloft (supported by broad
troughing that extends across much of ECONUS) and retreating high
pressure at the surface, expect a pleasant, if slightly cool, post-
frontal day across north and central Georgia. Abundant sunshine will
be a welcome change after a series of cloudy and foggy days, with
highs topping out in the mid-40s to mid-50s areawide.

To round off the work week, Friday will begin rather chilly, with
morning lows in the lower-30s. As the leading edge of the Arctic
high that will support a rapid cooldown later this weekend nudges
across the central Plains, a quick-hitting surface low will sweep
across the Ohio River Valley. Any associated moisture should remain
to the north and east of the forecast area, but our placement
between a surface low to our north and a surface high to our south
will send warm, breezy southwesterly winds streaming across the
area. Highs will rebound into the 60s as a result, likely one of the
few days we`ll have spent above-average temperature-wise thus far
this month.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday morning through next Wednesday)
Issued at 209 PM EST Thu Dec 11 2025

Long term will begin this weekend with a front pushing through
overnight Saturday into Sunday afternoon. Current mean ensembles are
indicating a showers to push through during this time period with
the main area of focus being western Georgia. At this time the main
weather type will be rain. As this front pushes through we will see
temps begin to dip down into the low 30s over NW GA and this area is
where we can potentially see a rain/snow mix. We are not expecting
any accumulations at this time as temps will have been warm ahead of
the front. When it comes to Sunday, did nudge down high temps to
account for the front pushing through as well as to better align
with model guidance. Did the same for Monday high temps as both days
were running closer to the 90th percentile in ensembles. Lows on
Sunday night into Monday morning actually were on the lower side but
with models coming into better agreement with less of a spread did
decide to keep them as is with lows reaching down into the teens
across much of the area. Should be staying above any records for
this time period. Towards the end of the week should see rainfall
return but model spread continues to be wide.
