Atlanta, Georgia – A drier late-winter pattern is expected to take hold across Georgia heading into early March, increasing the probability that rainfall totals trend below seasonal averages during the Feb. 28 through Mar. 13 timeframe.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, much of Georgia carries a 40% to 50% probability of below-normal precipitation in the Week 3-4 outlook. The drier signal spans the Interstate 75 corridor from Macon to Atlanta, east along Interstate 20 toward Augusta, and south along Interstate 95 near Savannah and Brunswick.
This extended-range guidance favors a more suppressed storm track across the Southeast, limiting the frequency of widespread rain-producing systems compared to late-February norms. While isolated systems remain possible, the broader atmospheric setup suggests fewer organized, soaking rainfall events statewide.
Temperatures during the same period lean near to slightly above average across much of Georgia, reinforcing a gradual seasonal transition without persistent cold-driven precipitation episodes.
Communities including Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Columbus and Albany fall within this drier signal. The Week 3-4 outlook reflects large-scale atmospheric trends rather than specific storm timing or daily rainfall totals.
Additional refinements are expected as the late-February to mid-March window approaches and shorter-range guidance provides greater clarity on any developing systems.
