Dry fuels and low relative humidity will create fire danger concerns across most of north and central GA, with a Red Flag Warning for portions of south-central GA where winds will be breezier. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged.

Cold air damming (“wedge”) conditions will bring seasonable temperatures through Thursday. After that, high temperatures will return to the 80s this weekend. Rain chances will be essentially 0% for the next 7 days.

Rain chances will be very low (under 5%) through early next week for the majority of the area. Ongoing drought conditions will only worsen given the lack of rainfall.
