Pitiful Rainfall and a Cooler Start Next Week

ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - A Cold Front passes Sunday morning bringing very little rainfall. In addition to the lack of rainfall, the front will bring in drier air and gusty winds up to 25 mph. Those three things combined will bring more days of high fire risk on Sunday and Monday. It is highly discouraged to burn.

Little rain in the forecast this week will cause an already horrible drought to worsen.

SUNDAY:

High temperatures today have sat in the upper 60s and low 70s today. Heading into the evening, clouds will begin to roll out and temperatures will drop off. Temperatures will be well into the 50s by midnight and will end up in the mid-upper 40s waking up on Monday.

Winds will be aggressive, likely gusting up to 25 mph from the North. The Red Flag Warning will expire at 8pm today, and will likely return Monday afternoon. Avoid Burning!

MONDAY/TUESDAY: Noticeably cooler in the mornings. Morning lows will be in the 40s while highs in the afternoon progressively warm, from the upper 70s on Monday into the low 80s Tuesday. Winds could be a bit peppy on Monday, but will ease up on Tuesday.

REST OF THE WEEK: Warming trend puts us firmly back into the low-mid 80s for the rest of the week. Humidity creeps back up, but ongoing drought will likely keep the fire risk elevated. A chance of rain does show, but only at the end of the week. Another work week with lots of sunshine is ahead.
