Atlanta, Georgia – A surge of springlike warmth is poised to take hold across Georgia in the Feb. 21–27 window, with temperatures strongly favored to run well above seasonal averages statewide.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, Georgia sits in a 70% to 80% probability zone for above-normal temperatures during the 8- to 14-day outlook. That signals a significant warm pattern, with afternoon highs climbing well above late-February norms from the mountains of North Georgia to the coastal plain.
While warmth dominates the outlook, rain chances remain modest but present. The state falls within a 33% to 40% probability range for above-normal precipitation, meaning scattered systems could bring periodic showers. North Georgia, including Atlanta and Rome, may see passing rain with brief heavier bursts. Farther south, from Macon to Savannah, showers are possible but extended washouts are not indicated at this time.
Drivers should stay alert for slick roads during heavier showers, especially along I-75, I-85 and I-16. Warmer temperatures may also increase early pollen activity across central and southern counties.
The overall pattern favors sustained warmth with occasional rain rather than a return to winter chill. Additional updates from the National Weather Service may refine rainfall timing as late February approaches.
