.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 218 AM EST Thu Dec 25 2025

Record to near-record warmth will remain the primary storyline
across north and central Georgia over the next few days, as a gift
of unseasonably mild weather continues courtesy of an expansive
and strong ridge covering much of the southern and central U.S.
The same setup that delivered record-setting warmth on Christmas
Eve will stay in place today, beginning with very mild overnight
lows in the 50s. Any early morning stratus and fog will gradually
lift and clear, allowing for plenty of sunshine this afternoon.
Highs will climb into the low to mid 70s across north GA and the
mid to upper 70s across central GA. Daily record high
temperatures will once again be threatened (see the Climate
section below for those values). Tonight into Friday morning,
warm dewpoints, light winds, and mostly clear skies will again set
the stage for potential patchy fog development. Fridays weather
will be a familiar refrain, though with a few subtle variations.
Highs will again reach the 70s, but may end up a degree or two
cooler than today as clouds become a bit more prevalent. A
shortwave sliding along the northeast side of the ridge over the
Ohio Valley will usher additional mid-level moisture into the
TN Valley, increasing cloud cover across Georgia. By late Friday
afternoon and through the evening, there may be just enough
moisture and forcing from the passing shortwave to bring isolated
light rain showers to north GA.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 218 AM EST Thu Dec 25 2025

Anomalously warm temperatures will persist through the weekend as
mid-/upper-level ridging holds on, with high temperatures some
15-23 degrees above average and low temperatures some 18-28
degrees above average. This means afternoon high temperatures
generally in the 70s both days.

Like the previous long term discussion mentioned, ensemble
guidance depicts the phasing of the polar and subtropical jet
streams occurring over the Ohio River Valley on Sunday night into
Monday morning. Development of surface low pressure and cold front
across the Mississippi River Valley will be the result, with both
of which sweeping across the eastern CONUS Monday through
Tuesday. Monday looks to bring cooler conditions across parts of
the County Warning Area (CWA) that have showers ahead of the cold
front, which at this time, look to be much of north Georgia, metro
Atlanta, Middle Georgia, and west-central Georgia. High
temperatures may still reach the 70s across east-central Georgia
where showers do not arrive until Monday evening. Monday is also
shaping up to be breezy (although below Wind Advisory thresholds
at this time) as the frontal passage (FROPA) occurs.

Given the core of the surface low over the Northeast and the cold
air aloft (and thus instability) lagging well behind the showers
across the Southeast, thunderstorms are not expected. At this
time, rainfall totals ranging from a trace to around 0.25 inch
seem reasonable, which will not do much in terms of drought
improvement.

Behind the cold front will be strong northwest flow and cold air
advection (CAA), hinted at above. The cold, dry airmass will
arrive in earnest by Tuesday morning, with current forecast low
temperatures in the 20s and 30s. Minimum apparent temperatures
(also known as wind chills) may reach the lower teens and even
single digits across parts of the CWA as breezy conditions
continue. Current forecast high temperatures on Tuesday afternoon
are generally in the 30s and 40s. While Tuesday afternoon will be
cold, it will also be breezy and dry, so fire weather conditions
will bear watching as the day approaches.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 551 AM EST Thu Dec 25 2025

A variety of conditions across the area to start the period due to
patchy fog impacting some sites, with VFR CIGs of 040-060 or SKC
elsewhere. Impacts have held off at ATL so far but we`ll still
have to watch out for any fog development in the next hour or two.
Any fog burns off by 15Z with VFR the rest of the day. Will have
to watch for another round of low VFR to MVFR CIGs and patchy fog
Friday morning, but confidence in that is low at this time. Winds
west at 5-9 kts today, becoming light overnight, then turning SW
on Friday.

//ATL Confidence...12Z Update...
Medium for CIG/VIS this morning, low for CIG/VIS Friday morning.
High on other elements.
