Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 254 PM EDT Mon Jun 1 2026 ...Afternoon Area Forecast Discussion... .KEY MESSAGES... - A cluster of thunderstorms capable of producing strong wind gusts and up to quarter size hail will move through northwest Georgia this afternoon. - 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. 01 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
