300 FXUS62 KFFC 110535 AFDFFC Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 135 AM EDT Mon Aug 11 2025 ...New 06Z Aviation Discussion... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Monday) Issued at 156 PM EDT Sun Aug 10 2025 ...SHORT TERM... At a glance: - Pleasant temperatures and cloudy skies. - Some scattered showers and thunderstorms south of a lines from Columbus to Macon We`ll slowly start to see an increase in thunderstorm coverage for the CWA over the short term, today afternoon thunderstorms will be mostly limited to south of I-20 though lingering cloud cover this morning over the metro and Athens may put a lid on potential development north of a line from Columbus to Macon. Tomorrow will see greater coverage across the entire CWA. Severe weather is not expected and CAPE values will limited by cooler temps and an unimpressive set of dynamics, but a few thunderstorms could have some strong gusty winds, especially if the cloud deck starts to break down in the afternoon. Temperatures will be in the low to mid 80s again today, but will slowly edge up tomorrow to the mid to upper 80s. This trend is set to continue through the long term. Significant QPF values are not expected, but considering all the recent rain a few rivers and low lying areas could be quick to respond to any additional water, so we`ll need to keep an eye on the flooding potential. Vaughn && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday morning through next Saturday) Issued at 156 PM EDT Sun Aug 10 2025 - Summer Strikes Back - With it comes afternoon thunderstorms again. Hopefully everyone enjoyed a taste of fall, because that`s likely behind us as we move forward. While temperatures aren`t set to sky rocket overnight, we will see a steady increase through the week back to the upper 80s and lower 90s for most of the CWA. Upper level flow breaks down allowing for the return of gulf moisture which will increase temps, humidity and the chance for afternoon thunderstorms. Nothing in the models seems to indicate that storms will get any additional boost from anything in the upper levels. Nothing in the models seems to indicate a break in this pattern either as we look ahead. Temps will remain relatively steady and afternoons will see a slight chances for storms across the entire CWA.
