Tomorrow

Dry vegetation, low relative humidity, and breezy winds will increase fire danger conditions again on Saturday across 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 potentially storms to parts of north and central Georgia tonight through Sunday morning. Rainfall is unlikely to exceed around a quarter inch (with the exception of far northwest Georgia), which is not nearly enough to put a dent in the drought.

Very warm today, with a cold front moving into tonight into Sunday bringing some rain chances and cooler temperatures. Dry conditions persist through next week, worsening drought conditions and leading to daily fire weather concerns.

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

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