Fire weather concerns will continue into Tuesday across the Mid-South and Southeast as gusty winds and dry conditions persist. Read More >

Areas of Frost and Freeze this Morning

Increased Fire Danger Across northeast Georgia

Pleasant Day Ahead

Breezy Conditions Return Wednesday

Rain Chances Finally Return this Weekend

Confidence on frost formation is highest across the North Carolina mountains and northern Foothills. Confidence on frost development is lower across the northern North Carolina Piedmont as dry air may limit frost formation. Frost and freeze conditions could kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.

Relative humidity is forecast to fall to 25 to 30 percent across northeast Georgia this afternoon. While winds are expected to be light, the low humidity combined with very dry vegetation will result in an elevated threat for the rapid spread of wildfire across the area, especially this afternoon.

Low relative humidity returns today as will lighter winds. Highs will be much warmer today across the mountains, ending up a few degrees above normal. Highs east of the mountains will be similar to yesterday, ending up near normal to just below normal.

Breezy winds and critically low relative humidity will fire weather concerns around on Wednesday. Fire Danger Statements may be needed for portions of the forecast area on Wednesday.

Dry conditions linger through Friday but rain chances finally return this weekend. However, any drought relief should remain limited as only light rainfall amounts are expected. For now it appears that most locations will see around half an inch or less of rainfall this weekend.
