.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 633 PM EST Sat Feb 28 2026

 - Warm weekend expected, with morning low clouds and patchy fog
   giving way to mostly clear skies.

 - Dry conditions continue early next week, with cooler (but near
   normal) temperatures as a wedge builds in.

 - Much warmer temperatures and increased rain chances return by
   late next week.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Sunday)
Issued at 111 PM EST Sat Feb 28 2026

Pleasant weather is expected over the weekend across north and
central Georgia, courtesy of surface high pressure and dry mid-
level northwest flow. Lingering low clouds will scatter out and
give way to mostly sunny skies by this afternoon, with
temperatures climbing to the upper 60s to low 70s. Another round
of morning fog and low clouds will likely develop tonight, but it
would not be as widespread as what we saw this morning. Overnight
lows will fall to the low to mid 40s across most of the area,
with some 30s in the north GA mountains. A slightly warmer airmass
pushes in by Sunday afternoon, with high temps climbing to the
mid to upper 70s under mostly sunny skies.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday morning through next Friday)
Issued at 111 PM EST Sat Feb 28 2026

Mild and Dry Through Wednesday:

Strong surface high pressure will build over the Mid-Atlantic
on Monday and Tuesday, with breezy easterly winds developing
across Georgia. These winds will bring a shallow "wedge" of
cooler air down along the eastern side of the Appalachians and
into our area. Mid-level flow will remain generally dry and
zonal, so the most interesting thing weather-wise during this
time will be the large range in temperatures across our area. Both
afternoons, high temps in the wedge (likely much of north-
northeast GA) will struggle to get out of the 50s, while areas
outside the wedge will be in the upper 60s to low 70s. The
airmass being brought in by the wedge isn't that chilly, so
overnight lows will only be in the low to mid 40s in the wedge,
and mid to upper 40s elsewhere. The surface high pressure will
finally push out over the Atlantic on Wednesday, with the wedge
being eroded and temperatures returning to the 70s across the
area.

Warmer with Increasing Rain Chances By Late Week:

From mid to late week, the synoptic weather pattern over the
CONUS will shift, as a strong mid-level ridge builds over the East
Coast, and troughing sets up over the Central and Western US. This
pattern will result in deep southwest flow over Georgia, which
will bring in an increasingly warm and humid airmass from Thursday
through next weekend. High temperatures will likely be in the
upper 70s to mid 80s each day, with lows in the upper 50s to mid
60s. The overall synoptic setup looks pretty similar to what we
saw a few weeks ago when we had a few days of record warm
temperatures, so that could be on the table again. Model guidance
remains in pretty good agreement on rain chances starting to
increase Thursday, and ramping up further from Friday into the
weekend. It's too early to determine whether a severe threat will
materialize during this time period, but this type of pattern in
March typically has at least some potential. Be sure to stay
tuned for forecast updates!

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 633 PM EST Sat Feb 28 2026

VFR conditions have returned as remaining low clouds have
dissipated. VFR will be short lived, as another round of fog and
low clouds are likely on Sunday morning. Dense fog and LIFR
ceilings will be most likely in central Georgia, including
CSG/MCN by 08-09Z. The northward extent of the dense fog and low
ceilings is forecast to remain south of ATL, though some patchy
fog and FEW-SCT clouds less than 10-14Z will be possible between
10-14Z. Low clouds and fog are expected to scatter out by 17-18Z.
Winds will be light and variable overnight and early Sunday
morning, becoming NW at 4-7 kts after 15Z.

//ATL Confidence...00Z Update...
Medium confidence in areal extent of ceiling and visibility
restrictions with fog.
High confidence on all other elements.
