Last Map Update: Mon, Apr 20, 2026 at 7:54:18 am EDT

Critical fire weather conditions today across north and central Georgia due to low humidity and dry vegetation, with gusty winds prompting a Red Flag Warning across northeast areas. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged, as fires could get out of control.
Dry conditions persist through next week, worsening drought conditions and leading to daily fire weather concerns before rain chances return next weekend.
With our very dry streak continuing through this work week, is there any hope for some rain in the near future? At this time, it does look like a more favorable pattern change will increase opportunities for rainfall from next weekend into the end of the month.
Here are the forecast high temperatures and precipitation chances for today.
