Drought Update

Tonight

Tomorrow

Warm with a chance of thunderstorms (15-30%) each afternoon-evening through Saturday. A cold front will bring increased rain and storm chances on Sunday. Dry conditions return for most of next week with temperatures back around normal.

Numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected Saturday and Sunday as a cold front moves southward through our area. The most likely time for these showers and storms will be Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning. Rainfall amounts will range from 1-1.5 inches to the north of I-85, with lesser amounts to the south. A few strong storms may be possible, but widespread severe weather is not expected at this time.

Georgia is facing its most significant drought since 2011–2012. 🚨 We’ve officially entered record-breaking territory. The low rainfall amounts🏜️ for the Sep 1–Apr 1 period have now set all-time records at Macon and Columbus, and the lowest in over 100 years at Atlanta. With little relief expected from this weekend’s rain, the trend remains concerning as we enter the warmer spring months

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

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