KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 644 PM EST Sun Nov 2 2025

- Shower coverage will peak this evening in north Georgia, with a couple of isolated thunderstorms also possible, before ending from west to east after midnight

- Rainfall totals through Monday morning will primarily remain less than a quarter to half inch.

- Gradual warming trend through the week into the 70s for highs across north and central Georgia.

- Trending towards the possibility of some rain over the upcoming weekend, though uncertainty remains high.

SHORT TERM

(This afternoon through Monday) Issued at 644 PM EST Sun Nov 2 2025

An upper low currently situated over central Tennessee will continue to progress quickly southeastward through tonight, bringing increasing shower coverage as it does so. The bulk of the more widespread shower activity will push across north Georgia from late evening through around midnight with coverage quickly diminishing from west to east by the predawn hours Monday. Lapse rates will be sufficient that an isolated embedded thunderstorm or two will be possible through the evening, but primarily shower activity is expected. Rainfall totals will remain largely a quarter inch or less, though locally higher totals in the realm of a half inch are possible.

Skies will clear fairly quickly Monday morning as high pressure builds eastward into the area with mostly sunny skies through the day. With widespread clouds persisting through sunrise, low temperatures should be held primarily into the 40s with a few upper 30s, keeping frost concerns at bay. Despite the sun, high temperatures on Monday will largely run a few degrees below normal, mainly in the 60s.

LONG TERM

(Tuesday morning through next Saturday) Issued at 644 PM EST Sun Nov 2 2025

System bringing rain to parts of the forecast area today and tonight will have completely exited the southeast by Tuesday. In its wake will be a surface high that slides right over the region for a day or two us an upper level anticyclonic rossby wave break washes over the area. Temperatures will warm as the air mass modifies. Expect daily highs in the 70s through the end of the week outside the mountains, warmer in central Georgia than north Georgia, with a few 80s creeping into south central Georgia by the end of the week.

Looking aloft again, a quick clipper type system will move across the northeastern US on Wednesday but will remain too far north to have any impacts to the CWA. Moisture return looks limited and the front attached to the system is expected to mostly stall and wash out before reaching the area. Friday into Saturday is starting to look a bit more interesting. DProg/Dt trends within the ensemble guidance show a clear move towards a more amplified trough within the southern stream of a bifurcated jet over the eastern CONUS. In simple terms, models are showing increased probability of seeing a system that could bring rainfall into north and central Georgia. Still plenty of uncertainty with this in both timing and strength, so we'll need to wait and see how model trends continue to play out over the coming days, but know that the coming weekend could have at least a wet time period in it. This also may bring increases in surface moisture that bring overnight lows up into the 50s from the expected 40s across much the rest of the week.
