- Scattered showers and storms continue to develop across North GA this afternoon, with a potential line of strong to severe storms moving in during the evening to overnight hours.

- Temperatures will be on the increase by the weekend with heat index values returning to the upper 90s to low 100s.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 22, 7:49 PM EDT, 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 749 PM EDT Mon Jun 22 2026 ...New 00Z Aviation Discussion... .KEY MESSAGES... - Scattered showers and storms continue to develop across North GA this afternoon, with a potential line of strong to severe storms moving in during the evening to overnight hours. - Localized flash flooding possible in North GA through the evening with the rounds of showers and storms. - Temperatures will be on the increase by the weekend with heat index values returning to the upper 90s to low 100s. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 301 PM EDT Mon Jun 22 2026 Low clouds have cleared, replaced by the development of a Cu field. With this clearing, expeditious warming has occurred. Combined with the abundant available moisture (the 12Z sounding shows precipitable water of 1.87 inches, above the 90th percentile), this has produced isolated to scattered popup showers and thunderstorms, particularly over north Georgia and the Atlanta metro, which will likely continue through much of the afternoon, and possibly into the evening. Locally heavy rainfall is likely, and gusty winds. A line of thunderstorms is forecast to push over north Georgia from the northwest around 23-00Z/7-8 PM EDT. It is expected to decay as it approaches and moves over the Atlanta metro, then likely dissipating over central Georgia, becoming more isolated to scattered showers after 12-2 AM EDT. Timing does remain low confidence with the arrival of the line of convection. Earliest reasonable arrival time would be around 6-7 PM EDT at the northwest corner of GA and 8-10 PM EDT for the Atlanta metro, but could be as late as 9-10 PM EDT to NW GA and 11 PM-1 AM EDT for Atlanta. Current trends on radar and from model guidance do seem to point towards a scenario more on the early side, though. There remains some uncertainty, as well, with respect to the speed of the weakening and dissipation of the line over central Georgia, which will influence how much thunderstorm activity that area sees. Most likely, there will be a few isolated thunderstorms for central Georgia, with the highest risk on the western side of the state, with lingering rain showers behind. There remains a Slight Risk (2/5) for severe thunderstorms over north Georgia into the Atlanta metro, mostly around I-20 and north. The greatest threats are damaging winds and frequent lightning. Cloudy skies are forecast to build in behind the showers and thunderstorms, lasting at least into midday tomorrow across northern and central Georgia. Then, sunny skies are likely by around mid- afternoon. Moisture decreases across Georgia, resulting in significantly lower risk for precipitation tomorrow. That being said, some lingering moisture could result in a few showers, mostly over central Georgia, during the late afternoon. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday morning through next Sunday) Issued at 301 PM EDT Mon Jun 22 2026 Dry weather is favored at the onset of the long term on Wednesday in the wake of Tuesday's cold front amid west-northwest flow aloft. At least isolated to scattered "summer-like" convection looks to return Thursday into Friday as deeper moisture returns with some subtle midlevel shortwaves in the west-northwest flow providing some enhancement. By the weekend, a stout subtropical ridge looks to establish over the eastern part of the country, likely persisting into next week. This will serve to both reduce PoPs overall as well as lead to an upward trend in temperatures, with highs returning into the 90s for most. With humid conditions remaining in place, triple-digit heat index values look likely to return during this time frame as well. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 749 PM EDT Mon Jun 22 2026 A lull in showers and thunderstorms is expected before picking back up largely between 4-7Z. There is still the chance for strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds as the main concern. After 7Z thunderstorm chances drop off with low ceilings moving in overnight. Ceilings are expected to bottom out between 8-14Z Tuesday morning. Ceilings will scatter out around 13-15Z with westerly winds picking up for the afternoon. Gusts around 20 knots are expected across most of the area. //ATL Confidence...00Z Update... Low confidence in thunderstorms between 00Z-04Z. Higher confidence in all elements from 04Z through the rest of the TAF forecast. Hansen && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
