.KEY MESSAGES...

  - Scattered showers and thunderstorms through Sunday are
    expected.

  - A few storms may become strong to severe in northwest Georgia
    this evening with gusty winds, frequent lightning, and
    locally heavy rainfall. Slow moving and training thunderstorms
    could pose a flash flood risk.

  - Diurnally enhanced storm chances will continue through the end
    of next week as temperatures also begin climbing back into the
    mid 90s.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Sunday)
Issued at 243 PM EDT Sat Aug 1 2026

The initial push of showers and thunderstorms has been limited
this morning with an environment overall unfavorable for vertical
development north of the Macon area. Near Macon and central
Georgia, the environment is more favorable for storm development
which supports the storms currently ongoing. Should see this trend
continue with scattered storms over central Georgia through the
evening with the main threats being gusty winds, frequent
lightning and locally heavy rainfall.

For north Georgia, the next push of thunderstorms will come from
the slow moving cold front currently over NE MS/NW AL. This is
expected to push eastward through the next couple of hours with
storms developing along the line. There has been some clearing
over this NW GA area which may help the environment be conducive
to storm development if the line of storms is able to hold
together into this evening. The main timing will be ~6-7pm and
through the overnight. Main threats will be gusty to locally
damaging wind gusts, locally heavy rainfall, and frequent
lightning. As the line pushes past NW GA should see a weakening
trend as we lose the day time heating factor.

For Sunday, should see the front continue to slowly move into
Georgia before stalling in east central Georgia which is the area
that will become the focus for storm chances through the evening
hours on Sunday. Gusty winds will be the main threat as well as
frequent lightning.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday morning through next Friday)
Issued at 243 PM EDT Sat Aug 1 2026

The extended periods begin Monday with The main frontal boundary
from the short term still stalled across E and SE GA. Continued
Southwesterly flow will also keep gulf moisture streaming across
the area so diurnally driven shower and thunderstorm chances are
expected to continue across the area. With this frontal boundary
staying nearly stationary a few waves move north along it with one
becoming a weak closed low over NE GA Tue afternoon. This low gets
absorbed fairly quickly into the boundary and moves rapidly up the
eastern seaboard Wed. This front stalls along the GA coast through
Wed before being pushed back to the west as the Bermuda ridge begins
to strengthen turning the overall SWLY flow to SERLY by Thu/Fri.
Currently the models show the Bermuda ridge axis forming across the
Carolinas and North GA which would put us in southeasterly flow
around the bottom of the ridge.

Initial "cooler" high temperatures Monday and Tuesday will bring
more widespread 80s to low 90s. Temperatures will be on a gradual
warming trend, with highs in the 90s by the end of the week.

&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 155 PM EDT Sat Aug 1 2026

Initial push of shra is focused more on central Georgia with
limited shra/tsra north of that area. Should see a lull in
activity before another round of showers may enter overnight
~06-09z from west to east. VFR conditions through the
afternoon/evening are likely before CIGs drop overnight into
tomorrow morning with widespread MVFR and pockets of IFR likely.
Winds remain out of the SSW through the period at 5-8kts.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
Medium confidence on MVFR/IFR timing.
Medium on round of showers overnight.
Medium to high on all other elements.
