North Georgia residents are urged to exercise caution as elevated fire dangers are expected this afternoon and into the evening. The National Weather Service warns that another Fire Danger Statement may be necessary due to dry conditions and low humidity. Relative humidity levels are predicted to drop to 25 percent or lower for at least four hours today, combined with southwest winds blowing at 6 to 12 MPH. The dry fuels in the area create a significant risk of fire ignition and rapid spread. The forecast for today is sunny skies with highs in the upper 70s. Overnight lows will dip into the upper 40s. Looking ahead, the weather pattern shifts towards unsettled conditions. Isolated thunderstorms are possible on Thursday, with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 70. The chance of precipitation is 60%, with new rainfall amounts between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, potentially higher in areas affected by thunderstorms. The primary concern, however, lies with a more potent storm system expected to impact Georgia this weekend. Forecasters are closely monitoring the potential for severe weather and flooding across the state on Saturday and Sunday. While severe weather is possible throughout Georgia, the greatest threat for flooding is currently concentrated across northwestern Georgia. Residents are strongly advised to stay informed and monitor the latest weather forecasts for updates and potential warnings as the weekend approaches.
