GEORGIA DROUGHT: AFTER MONTHS OF LITTLE TO NO RAINFALL, DROUGHT INCREASES ACROSS STATE

The high pressure will return to the area, which should push the colder air out and provide for a warm-up the next few days.

Expect low 70s for the highs over the weekend, with lows warming from the low 40s to the upper 40s.

Next week should be closer to average with temperatures in the mid- to upper 70s and low in the lower to mid-50s.

There should be no real rain chance over the next week.

And don’t forget to set the clocks back over the weekend as Eastern Standard Time returns.
