Augusta, Georgia – A generally quiet mid-January weather pattern is expected along the Georgia–South Carolina border next week, with limited chances for rain and no signal for winter weather or widespread travel disruptions from Monday through Friday.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, eastern Georgia and western South Carolina fall within a below-normal precipitation zone during the January 12–16 period. Temperatures are projected to trend above seasonal averages, supporting mild afternoons and extended dry stretches across the region.
Communities in the Central Savannah River Area, including Augusta, Aiken, North Augusta, and Evans, may see several consecutive dry days with only isolated, low-impact rain chances. Any precipitation that does develop is expected to be brief and light. Major routes such as I-20, U.S. 1, and U.S. 25 are not expected to experience weather-related travel issues during this stretch.
Georgia and South Carolina transportation officials typically note that cooler overnight temperatures can still lead to patchy morning fog near rivers and low-lying areas, particularly along the Savannah River. Drivers should remain alert during early morning commutes, though widespread visibility problems are not anticipated.
The drier pattern looks likely to persist through much of the workweek, with only minor disturbances possible. Overall, weather-related impacts along the Georgia–South Carolina border appear unlikely through Friday.
