High pressure will move into the Southeast today and significantly influence the weather on Thursday. The air will be dry, with surface dewpoints in the 30s, and some areas in northeast Georgia may have dewpoints in the 20s. This dry air, combined with mixed air layers and afternoon temperatures in the 70s (4 to 8 degrees above normal), will create very low humidity levels today and Thursday. Northwest winds may gust between 20 and 30 mph today, leading to a Fire Danger Statement for Northwest Georgia due to low humidity and gusts up to 24 mph. A similar warning is expected for Thursday but with lighter winds. No other weather threats are anticipated in north and central Georgia through Thursday as the area will remain dry. Temperatures will generally be in the 70s.  Lows tonight will be in the upper 40’s.  Looking ahead, fire danger will likely continue through Friday with warm, dry conditions, but rain chances will increase from the weekend into early next week, raising the potential for severe weather. Showers and thunderstorms are possible, especially Sunday into Monday, with certain areas under a 15% risk for severe weather.
