Northwest Georgia is experiencing another day of dry conditions and hazy skies due to wildfire smoke drifting from Canada. The lingering smoke aloft is causing a milky appearance in the sky as a mid to upper-level ridge of high pressure remains over the eastern United States. Residents can expect a sunny day with scattered fair weather clouds developing in the afternoon. Temperatures will be warm, reaching the lower 80s, possibly a degree or two higher than yesterday. However, the dry spell will break tomorrow (Wednesday) as rain chances return to the area. A weak area of low pressure is expected to bring Gulf and Atlantic moisture inland, pushing through Florida, South/East Georgia, and South Carolina. This influx of moisture will result in scattered showers and thunderstorms spreading from south to north across the region throughout the day. Meteorologists predict that the greatest coverage of showers and storms will occur along and south of Interstate 20. While increasing cloud cover may hinder significant destabilization, isolated strong storms could develop in areas with breaks in the clouds. These storms could produce gusty winds up to 40 mph, locally heavy rainfall, and frequent cloud-to-ground lightning. Residents are advised to stay informed and be prepared for potential severe weather on Wednesday.  Rain chances remain for the rest of week into the weekend.
