...Evening Update...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1019 PM EDT Thu Jun 12 2025

Forecast remains on track for this evening. Isolated thunderstorms
are likely to continue across portions of east and south central
Georgia for the next several hours. With loss of diurnal heating,
expect coverage and intensity to continue to taper off. Patchy
dense fog development is possible once again tonight, owing to
abundant moisture throughout the column and in the wake of this
afternoon/evening`s storms. Under some semblance of insulating
cloud cover for much of the area, expect relatively warm lows,
dropping into the 60s to lower 70s.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Friday)
Issued at 245 PM EDT Thu Jun 12 2025

Vertically stacked southwest flow continues to push abundant
moisture into the region with PWATS this morning of 1.87" and model
guidance indicating values upwards of 2" through the next 5-days. The
stalling cut off low over the western gulf the TX/LA coast will
continue to provide broad and weak lift across the southeast.
Combining the moisture, warm June temperatures, and lift means
thunderstorms chances nearly every day, peaking in the afternoon
each day. Storms will likely be scattered in nature, however most
people will likely see at least a sprinkle.

CAPE values each afternoon are likely to exceed 1000-1500 J/Kg.
DCAPE values this morning were already over 400 J/Kg suggesting
afternoon values each afternoon could easily exceed 900 J/Kg. This
would allow storms to develop brief, but strong, gusty winds.
Otherwise the main hazards will be frequent lightning and locally
heavy rainfall. So whether your favorite outdoor activities are
Georgia classics like floating down the river, participating in
outdoor sports, or getting bit by mosquitos make sure to be weather
aware.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday morning through next Wednesday)
Issued at 245 PM EDT Thu Jun 12 2025

As the long term period begins on Saturday, a 500 mb trough will
extend from the Midwest towards the Lower Mississippi River Valley,
which will keep Georgia underneath southwesterly flow aloft as it
slowly advances eastward. Continued advection of warm and moist air
from the Gulf will keep dewpoints in the low to mid 70s and
precipitable water values between 1.75 and 2 inches during the
weekend and through the early parts of next week. Chances for
showers and thunderstorms will be higher than normal each day given
this ample moisture. Convective activity will be largely diurnally
driven, with low PoPs through much of the mornings, increasing
through the early afternoons, and peaking between 60-80% in the mid
to late afternoon hours each day. The southern end of the shortwave
advancing through the Tennessee Valley region on Sunday afternoon is
expected to contribute to locally higher chances still across the
far northern tier. While organized severe weather is not expected, a
few storms each day could become strong and capable of producing
frequent lightning and gusty winds. Furthermore, with high PWATs,
these storms will be efficient rainfall producers, which could lead
to isolated flooding concerns. Patchy fog will be possible during
the overnight and early morning hours, particularly where soils are
saturated from previous rainfall and cloud cover dissipates.

Considering the chances for showers and thunderstorms each day and
the associated cloud cover, high temperatures will run near normal
for mid-June this weekend, in the 80s across the area. Low
temperatures will closely reflect the dewpoints, and will run about
4-8 degrees above daily normals. Temperatures will begin to climb in
the early portions of next week, particularly to the south of the
Fall Line, where highs will rise into the low to mid 90s. These
temperatures, combined with the aforementioned dewpoints, will
contribute to maximum heat indices of 100-105 degrees in portions of
central Georgia on Monday through Wednesday.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 737 PM EDT Thu Jun 12 2025

Chance for lingering -TSRA impacts at ATL thru 02Z tonight. A pd
of IFR cigs is likely between 10-15Z for northern TAF sites, and
beyond that, primarily SCT-BKN low VFR to MVFR cigs exp thru the
pd. Cannot rule out some low-VFR to MVFR vsbys in tandem, but
confidence is relatively low. Best chances for -TSRA on Friday
aftn will come between 18-24Z areawide, but may extend after
sunset depending on where initiation occurs. Winds will likely go
CALM/VRB overnight before picking back up out of the SSW at 4-7kts
by 14-15Z.

//ATL Confidence...00Z Update...
Medium confidence ceiling progression.
High confidence all other elements.
