YOUR WEEK AHEAD: June 30 - July 4, 2026
(as of June 30, 2:00pm)

I wanted to wait one extra day before I published this forecast so I could include the July 4th holiday in it.

We stay hot and humid through the week with highs in the mid 90s but feeling like anywhere between 100-110 each day. Low temperatures won't provide much relief only getting to the mid 70s.

Each day brings a chance of the pesky PM pop ups but some days, anywhere from 10-30% with a little uptick in chances on the 4th to 40% as heat levels start to slowly come down as the high-pressure bubble breaks down and moves west.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK: June 26-28, 2026
(as of June 25 / 9:30pm ET)

It's going to feel hotter than a firecracker this weekend and well into next week.

Other than a slight chance of a pesky PM pop up on Friday, the rest of the weekend will have plenty of sunshine with highs in the low to mid 90s. By Sunday temperatures may feel like the upper 90s to around 100 as the center of an upper high-pressure system builds over top of us and stays well into next week. Low temperatures will be very balmy in the low to mid 70s.

SPOILER: Next week, air temperatures could be in the mid to upper 90s all week with heat index values between 100 and 105 and very little relief in sight from the hit or miss pop up afternoon and evening storms.

Make sure if you have plans to be outdoors for an extended period of time this weekend and next week make sure to stay well hydrated, take frequent breaks in the shade and/or air conditioning, and check on people and pets who may be sensitive to the heat.

HERE COMES THE HEAT! 🥵/ June 24, 2026 - 5:55pm

It wouldn't be approaching the July 4th holiday without temperatures cranking up, now would it? Combine that with the humidity and the heat index will likely be pushing 100 by this weekend.

Make sure if you have plans to be outdoors this weekend and likely next week to stay hydrated and take frequent breaks in the shade.

SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE TONIGHT
June 22 / 9:15am

The NOAA NWS Storm Prediction Center has placed our area in a level 2 out of 5 risk for severe weather today (June 22) through early tomorrow morning (June 23).

This is primarily for a line of storms expected to form to the northwest and move south and eastward through our area between 10:00pm and 6:00am ET.

The primary threat with these storms will be damaging winds, and while the threat for brief isolated tornado is low, it is not zero.

Stay weather aware into the overnight hours and make sure to have multiple ways to receive warnings.

06/18/2026

[June 18, 2026 / 7:45pm ET] - All counties in our area have been CLEARED from the Tornado Watch.

Light to moderate rain will continue over the area for the next few hours.

[June 18, 2026 / 2:30pm ET] A Tornado Watch has been issued for Randolph (AL), Carroll (GA), Heard (GA), Coweta (GA) and points southward until 11:00pm ET

A watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop. It does NOT mean that a tornado has been spotted or detected. That would be a warning.

SEVERE WEATHER UPDATE
June 18, 2026 / 2:25pm ET

WHAT'S CHANGED?
The risk for severe weather has increased particularly for our southern counties.

The southern part of our area, a line from Roanoke to Carrollton to Villa Rica and points south and eastward (Heard, southeastern Randolph, Coweta and parts of southeastern Carroll Counties) has been upgraded to a level 2 out of 5 (Slight) risk for severe weather. Additionally, the probability of any one given point within 25 miles seeing a tornado in that same area has increased to 5 - 9%.

A wind advisory has been issued for our Georgia counties from 6:00pm ET tonight until 8:00am ET Friday morning. This is for sustained winds 15-20mph with gusts up to 30-40mph not including winds in storms that may develop. There is a 5-14% chance of damaging winds within 25 miles of any given point.

Additionally, expected rainfall totals have increased to 2-4" with this system with isolated higher amounts possible as storms could have rainfall rates up to 3"/hour. Repeating storms training over the same area could increase the flooding risk. A Flood Watch remains in effect until 2am Saturday Morning.

PEAK TIMING FOR OUR AREA:
5pm - 9pm ET for severe weather
7pm - 1am ET for strong winds
3pm - 1am ET for flooding

Stay weather aware this evening and have multiple ways to get weather alerts this afternoon and evening.

TROPICAL/SEVERE UPDATE
Jun 17, 2026 / 10:00pm ET

Tropical Storm Arthur formed in the Gulf earlier today and is currently centered just off the Texas coast near Galveston. It is expected to move inland tonight over southeastern Texas and become just remnants by early Thursday morning.

The remnants of Arthur are expected to track northeast toward Alabama and Georgia through the morning Thursday, with bands of showers and storms possibly forming out ahead of the shield of heavy rain expected to arrive after lunchtime.

THREATS:
1) FLOODING: The primary threat will be flash flooding. Our entire area is in a Level 3 out of 4 (Moderate) Risk for flash flooding Thursday and a Level 2 out of 4 (Slight) Risk for flash flooding Friday. A Flood Watch has been issued until 2AM Saturday with the possibility of 2-4" of rain areawide with locally higher amounts of 5" possible. Depending on where the heaviest rain sets up, rainfall rates could exceed 3"/hour in some areas.

2) SEVERE WEATHER: The combination of moisture, daytime heating, and an unstable atmosphere could set the stage for some storms to be strong or severe from lunchtime on toward midnight. Threats include damaging winds and possibly even an isolated, brief tornado. The entire area is in a Level 1 out of 5 (Marginal) Risk for severe weather.

TIMING:
MID MORNING THURSDAY: Storms fire ahead of the center of Arthur's remnants which is over Mississippi.

MID AFTERNOON THURSDAY: Storms possible throughout the area with the severe risk being at its highest for us. Any storms over the area could dump some very heavy rainfall.

THURSDAY EVENING: The center of Arthur's remnants begins to trace I-20 between Birmingham and Atlanta. The flood risk is maximizing as the main rain shield with embedded areas of heavy rain moves into the area.

OVERNIGHT THURSDAY -> FRIDAY: The main rain shield pushes to the east as the center of Arthur's remnants moves over the Atlanta metro area. Meanwhile a weakening line of storms associated with a surface front begins to approach the area from the northwest.

FRIDAY MORNING: The surface front slows to a crawl and semi-stalls just north of the area and showers and storms develop along it to the west moving eastward.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING: The front finally pushes through at some point, but showers and storms will still be possible until it gets past the area.

TROPICAL MISCHIEF & MORE WET WEATHER / June 16, 2026 - 8:00pm ET

Potential Tropical Cyclone 1 (PTC #1) has formed in the western Gulf just off the coast of the southern tip of Texas. It is expected to become a tropical storm (Arthur) on Wednesday as it rides along the Texas coast before making landfall Wednesday evening in southwestern Louisiana. Tropical Storm Watches and Warnings are already in place for the southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana coasts.

HOW WILL THIS AFFECT OUR AREA?
The moisture and remnants of this storm will move into our area Thursday into Friday. Additionally, a frontal boundary will be just to our northwest moving our direction which will provide additional dynamic support (lift) in order to keep the fuel going for showers and storms.

The combination of the remnants and the front are expected to set the stage for very heavy rainfall and storms throughout the day Thursday into early Friday, which could result in flash and river flooding with a secondary threat of severe weather should bands of storms set up ahead of PTC #1/Arthur's remnants.

The SPC has placed us in a Level 1 out of 5 (Marginal) Risk for severe weather Thursday. and the WPC has placed us in a Level 2 out of 4 (Slight) Risk for flash flooding with a Level 3 out of 5 (Moderate) Risk just to the southwest across southern Randolph County.

A Flash Flood Watch has been issued through 2AM ET Saturday for our entire area. Rainfall today through Friday is expected to be anywhere from 3-4".

Stay weather aware over the coming days and if you encounter flash flooding, remember "Turn Around, Don't Drown."
