Atlanta, Georgia – North and central Georgia are settling into a long dry spell with no measurable rain expected through at least early next week. Residents may see humidity remain low while temperatures stay steady, leading to parched lawns and stressed gardens.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, a ridge of high pressure will linger over the region, keeping skies clear and rainfall chances near zero across Atlanta, Athens, Columbus, and Macon. Even into next Monday, the outlook shows only a slim 2% chance of precipitation, underscoring the persistence of this dry pattern.
Homeowners should prepare for outdoor plants and lawns to need extra watering as the week progresses. With humidity holding low, conditions will feel more comfortable for outdoor activities, but dry air also increases the risk of brush fires in rural areas. Farmers across central Georgia may also need to monitor soil conditions closely.
This stretch of dry weather could extend beyond next week, as forecasters note that September often brings extended dry periods across the Southeast.
