Fire Danger Concerns - Thursday

No Appreciable Rainfall on the Horizon

Late April Rain Chances?

Tonight

Tomorrow

Dry vegetation and low relative humidity will increase fire danger conditions on Thursday across parts of north and central Georgia, where a Fire Danger Statement is in effect. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged, as fires could get out of control.

A cold front will bring showers and possibly storms to parts of the area, but rainfall is unlikely to exceed around a quarter inch. As a result, drought conditions will worsen over the next 7 days given the lack of appreciable rainfall.

Long-range forecast models are suggesting a large-scale weather pattern supportive of rainfall across parts of the Southeast (including Georgia) near the end of the month. That said, not all of the state will necessarily see rainfall, and it will take an extended period of ample rainfall to put a dent in the drought.

Here are the forecast low temperatures and precipitation chances for tonight.

Here are the forecast high temperatures and precipitation chances for tomorrow.
