  the low 20s and wind chills in the teens. 



- Temperatures warm back up to near normal early in the week, with

  rain chances returning mid week and another cool down to follow.

.SHORT TERM...

(This afternoon through Monday)

Issued at 229 PM EST Sun Feb 1 2026



Temps are on track to top out in the low to upper 30s across much

of the area today with mostly sunny skies across the area. As the

trough pushes eastward and a secondary shortwave pushes through

the main flow, cloudy skies will be possible for tomorrow but no

precipitation expected. Ridging pushes into the area which begins

the slow warm up into the week. 



For tomorrow morning, temps will reach down into the upper teens

to low 20s across the area with wind chills in the upper teens for

most areas. Will stay just out of cold weather advisory criteria

but do keep the cold weather tips in mind. Winds will begin to

slacken into the overnight which should help with the wind chills.

Any areas that still have snowfall on untreated roadways are

likely to see a refreeze overnight leading to patchy black ice

potential.

.LONG TERM...

(Tuesday morning through next Saturday)

Issued at 229 PM EST Sun Feb 1 2026



At the start of the long term period on Tuesday, presiding surface 

high pressure will be in the process of being nudged offshore by a 

series of shortwaves rounding the base of a broader trough at the 

mid-levels (with a cold front in tow). As the front makes its way 

across the Southeast over the course of the day Tuesday into 

Wednesday, chances for showers will return for much of north and 

central Georgia. Rainfall totals remain on the low-end areawide, 

with most forecast to see just a quarter to a third of an inch. 



Behind the front, northwesterly flow sets up at the mid-levels, 

paving the way for mostly clear and dry conditions for the remainder 

of the extended. Highs will be in the mid-40s to 50s each day 

(coolest post-front on Thursday), with lows in the 20s to 30s (and 

in the 40s on Wednesday morning before the influence of the front is 

felt).
