Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 251 PM EDT Wed Apr 2 2025 ...RECORD MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES LIKELY THE REST OF THE WEEK... Unseasonably warm temperatures, both during the day and at night will continue through at least Saturday and into Sunday over eastcentral Georgia. High temperatures are expected to reach or exceed 90 degrees in many areas, especially over middle Georgia. These temperatures are 18 to 25 degrees above normal for this time of year and will likely break some daily all-time records. While we are not expected to reach Heat Advisory criteria, which is based on the Heat Index, we do have data from the NWS HeatRisk forecast system to indicate that those who are sensitive to heat- related illness will be at a moderate risk (level 2 out of 4) of heat illness from prolonged exposure to forecast temperatures this week. Those at risk should avoid the heat and remain inside in air-conditioning homes or facilities.
