The National Weather Service has issued a high fire danger warning for Northwest Georgia this afternoon and evening due to critically low relative humidity and strong winds. Relative humidity levels are expected to dip to 25% or less for at least four hours, combined with northwest winds blowing at 10 to 15 mph, with gusts potentially reaching 25 mph. Isolated gusts up to 30 mph are possible for a few hours this afternoon. These conditions, coupled with dry fuels, create a significant risk for rapidly spreading wildfires. Residents are urged to exercise extreme caution and avoid any activities that could spark a fire, such as outdoor burning or using equipment that could create sparks. Today, we will see mostly sunny skies, with highs in the mid to upper 60’s. A mostly dry cold front is moving through the area today, bringing cooler and drier air in its wake. Wednesday will see morning lows in the 40’s (upper 30’s in higher elevations) and pleasant afternoon temperatures in the mid-60’s to low 70’s. While winds will be less gusty, another Fire Danger Statement may be necessary due to the continued dry air. A warming trend is expected through the weekend, with rain possible early next week. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about weather updates and fire safety precautions.
