Dry Conditions Could Fuel Fires

Officials warn that the current weather could increase the likelihood of fires this afternoon and evening.

The National Weather Service is warning those in north and central Georgia that dangerous fire weather conditions are expected this afternoon and evening.

Meteorologists say a dry air mass is traveling over the region due to high pressure over the middle portion of the country. The primary hazard, they say, will be the dangerous fire weather conditions due to low relative humidities and low fuel moisture levels.

Other expected conditions in Acworth include winds of about 5 mph this afternoon and calm winds tonight. Today’s high will hit about 83 degrees and should drop to around 49 tonight.
