Residents across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia can expect mild and dry conditions through midweek, but officials are warning of an increased fire danger Tuesday afternoon into the evening.
A weak wedge of cooler air is settling into the region, bringing partly cloudy skies, gusty northeast winds, and seasonable temperatures in the mid to upper 60s. Behind a recent cold front, much drier air has moved in, dropping humidity levels into the 20–30% range.
Forecasters say areas north of I-20, including Northwest Georgia, could see relative humidity fall below 25% for several hours Tuesday. Combined with dry vegetation and breezy conditions, this has prompted a high fire danger alert for the region.
Conditions remain calm and dry into Wednesday, with little to no chance of rain. However, a warming trend begins later in the week, with temperatures climbing into the upper 70s and low 80s by Thursday.
A weak cold front could bring a slight chance of scattered showers to far north Georgia by Friday, but overall, quiet and seasonable weather is expected heading into the weekend.
Officials urge residents to avoid outdoor burning during peak fire danger periods and to use caution with anything that could spark a fire.
