.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Saturday)
Issued at 255 PM EST Fri Feb 21 2025

500mb analysis shows just slightly northwest flow aloft across the
state. Further west, a mid level way is ejecting out of the four
corners region. This low will continue to move southeast through
Saturday and fill. The remaining trough is expected to move through
on Saturday. At the surface, high pressure is currently centered
across the central part of the county. This high center will shift
eastward through the period. By the end of the period, a low pressure
system may begin to develop in the western Gulf.

Temperatures will begin to moderate overnight and Saturday but
remain below normal through the period.

(Sunday morning through next Thursday)
Issued at 255 PM EST Fri Feb 21 2025

Key Messages:

 - General warming trend through mid next week with highs climbing
   back toward the 70s.

 - Mostly dry pattern with limited PoPs until the later half of next
   week. Limited to no thunderstorm potential at this time.

Generally northwest flow and high pressure expected through mid next
week. High temps move to more springlike conditions of around 70
degrees. Mostly dry through the period with PWATs struggling to climb
above 0.70" at any time. A quick clip by a passing gulf low may
bring some showers to southern GA early next week, however this will
likely avoid the CWA entirely. PoPs in the most southern counties of
the warning area remain at or blow 10% Sunday night into Monday
morning. Our next chance for precip comes alongside a descending cold
front and upper level trough over the Great Lake region. Overall
dynamics look unimpressive or well to the north and Ensemble CAPE
probs of >100 J/Kg remain <10%. Anticipate a line of showers moving
across the area late Wednesday to early Thursday. While generally
unlikely, a few rumbles of thunder may also be possible.

Given the weak nature of the front, temperatures may dip a little
bit but not expecting a significant temperature swing going into next
weekend.
