.KEY MESSAGES...

- Thunderstorm chances continue on Tuesday with drier weather
  returning by Wednesday lasting through at least the end of the
  week.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Tuesday)
Issued at 253 PM EDT Mon Jun 1 2026

Wedge is still in place as evidenced by the overcast low clouds in
place on satellite and northeast winds. Should see this wedge
temporarily retreat today as winds turn to the NW through the
morning into the early afternoon. During that time, expecting a
few patches of blue skies with scattered cloud cover today which
should allow temperatures to climb into the mid to upper 80s
across the area. Looking towards the late afternoon into the
evening, a MCS looks to approach the north Georgia as early as
1-2pm before pushing southward. Expecting this MCS to push more
into Alabama though due to better parameters in this area plus the
influence of the wedge still in the Carolinas. There is a low end
chance that if the MCS is able to hold together we could see an
area of showers and isolated thunderstorms push all the way to
near Macon area closer to 10pm. More than likely though, the MCS
will fizzle out as it gets closer to the metro as it looses most
of the forcing/better environmental parameters. This is why the
main risk will be in north Georgia today where a Marginal Risk has
been depicted. This will be for strong to damaging wind gusts with
that first initial push. Areas of north Georgia that have
received quite a bit of rainfall in this past week may be more
susceptible to tree damage with looser soils.

Looking at tomorrow, another pseudo wedge looks to push into the
area again with winds turning to the northeast and cloud cover
settling back in. Temperatures will also be cool with highs in the
mid to upper 70s. Rain chances Tuesday will be confined more
towards central Georgia but the storm mode does seem to be more
organized in nature which coincides with the Day 2 Marginal Risk
over this area. This will still be more conditional though with
it's setup so have elected to lower PoPs a touch over this area.
North Georgia looks to start the dry trend a bit early on Tuesday
with rain chances staying mostly <40%.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday morning through next Sunday)
Issued at 253 PM EDT Mon Jun 1 2026

From Wednesday through the end of the work week we can expect mostly
dry weather across North and Central Georgia. Surface high pressure
will extend southward from the Great Lakes Region and ridging aloft
will slowly slide eastward encompassing much of the Eastern US by
Thursday. Temperatures will be quite comfortable during this time,
dare we say even 'chilly' especially Thursday morning. Forecast
highs will be in the 70s areawide on Wednesday with dewpoints in the
50s -- a much welcome changed to the warm and humid conditions we
have been experiencing. Wednesday Night/Thursday morning
temperatures will be in the 50s areawide. As ridging aloft starts to
dampen and the surface high gradually shifts eastward, expect
temperatures to gradually trend warmer as we head into the weekend.
Our next opportunity for rain may come at some point later in the
weekend, when southerly flow returns as a result of our position on
the western fridges of the surface high. Until then, take advantage
of the drier weather and pleasant temperatures mid to late week!

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1221 PM EDT Mon Jun 1 2026
Mainly MVFR ceilings across the area but things are beginning to
Scatter out to VFR. Expect these ceilings to continue to sct/clr
out through Tonight. Seeing some storms move SE out of TN into
North AL. They should continue moving SE into GA over the next
few hours and if they stay together into the ATL area by 21-23z.
Expect SHRA/TSRA to continue over night as waves move SE in the
NW flow. Winds have turned to the NW in the 5-10kt range and
should continue through Tonight. Will see increased wind speeds
and gust in and around convective activity.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
Confidence high on all elements.
