Atlanta, GA – Georgia residents will experience a mix of spring warmth, fire hazards, and an increasing risk of severe storms in the coming days. Dry conditions will raise fire dangers across north Georgia Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by a weekend system that could bring heavy rain, thunderstorms, and possible flooding.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, clear skies and mild temperatures will dominate midweek, with highs reaching the mid-70s. However, the dry air and breezy conditions will increase wildfire risks, especially in elevated areas of northern Georgia. Residents should avoid open burning and remain vigilant.
By Thursday, isolated thunderstorms are possible, but severe weather is not expected. The bigger concern arrives Saturday into Sunday when a strong storm system moves through the state. While forecasts remain uncertain, northwest Georgia could see severe thunderstorms and flooding. Travelers should monitor updates, especially along major routes like Interstate 75 and Interstate 85.
Extended 5-Day Georgia Forecast:
• Wednesday: Sunny, high of 74°F. Breezy in the afternoon.
• Thursday: Partly cloudy with scattered showers and storms. High of 67°F.
• Friday: Mostly cloudy, high of 73°F.
