Dry air and low humidity are creating high fire danger conditions across north and central Georgia. A Fire Danger Alert is in effect this afternoon and evening. Officials urge residents to check with local burn authorities before lighting any outdoor fires.
💨 Looking Ahead: Saturday brings another round of high fire danger as a dry cold front moves in, bringing stronger northwest winds.
⚠️ Early Next Week: Fire danger could linger into Monday with dry fuels and low humidity. Then, by late Tuesday into Wednesday, a cold front could trigger isolated thunderstorms—some of which may turn strong.
🔥 Take Action: Avoid outdoor burning, secure loose materials that could catch fire, and stay weather-aware in the days ahead.
