KEY MESSAGES

- Scattered showers and thunderstorms during the daytime on Monday. Highest chances generally in central Georgia and on Monday with a weak cold front.

- Weak cold front brings dry and cool conditions Monday evening through mid-week.

SHORT TERM

(Today through Tuesday) Issued at 145 AM EDT Mon May 11 2026

Models continue to trend weaker forcing for incoming coldfront today. PoPs have fallen to below 15 percent for all areas in line and north of the metro. Area south will still see enough moisture and energy to develop light scattered showers and potentially a rumble of thunder or two. The chances for an isolated severe storm are low but not zero.

Conditions remain in Northwest upper level flow through the coming days, keeping conditions cool. A double barreled high will drive NE flow come tonight which will drive weak pseudo wedging and may bring some brief low clouds tonight. Otherwise no significant concerns or hazards expected.

LONG TERM

(Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 145 AM EDT Mon May 11 2026

Dry and Gradually Warming Temps into the Weekend:

Surface high pressure sliding off to the east will turn winds out of the south on Wednesday, increasing low-level moisture over the area. Concurrently, a shortwave and associated cold front will be dropping across the Great Lakes and much of the Eastern US by late in the day. The combination of forcing from the front and low-level moisture may support a few showers or storms in our area during the afternoon and evening, with chances at 15% or less. Following this, a reinforcement of dry northwest flow will spread over the region, and keep conditions rain-free through the rest of the week. Temperatures will vary from day to day Wednesday through Friday, but generally remain around normal for this time of year, with highs in the 70s to low 80s, and overnight lows in the 50s. Over the weekend, temperatures will rapidly warm up as a ridge builds from the Gulf up across the Southeast US. Highs will soar into the upper 80s to low 90s, with overnight lows in the 60s. Between subsidence from the ridge and a relatively dry airmass in place, rain chances will remain near zero.
