Forecasting Contest - Atlanta Forecast for Thursday 09/23

Current conditions in Atlanta are essentially a carbon copy of Monday with a deep-layer high to the east of the area (up to about 500 mb). An easterly to southerly flow persists in the area. There is a little more moisture in the air compared to a few days ago with dewpoints currently in the 60s.

The synoptic setup on Thursday is not expected to change much as the high continues to sit to our east. There may be a very slim chance of rain based on NWS-FFC discussions, but I am not confident enough to put it in the forecast for Thursday.

For tonight, expect fair skies with a low near 71 (just a degree or two higher than guidance). For Thursday, expect partly cloudy skies with a high near 90.
