ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - After overcast conditions yesterday and this morning, we’ll see clearing skies through most of South Georgia from west to east today. Areas east of I-75 will be the last to clear, and locations along the US 84 corridor near and east of Valdosta may see the overcast through the day along with a chance for rain showers. Highs will be in the 75-80 degree range west of I-75 and mid 70s east of I-75.

With mainly dry conditions, gusty winds, and very dry fuels, a Red Flag Warning is in effect today for most of the area east of the Flint River. Please take precautions if doing any outdoor burning today and be cognizant of any outdoor burn bans in your local area.

Clouds will move back into the picture tomorrow, with a continued slight chance for rainfall near the Florida line. Temperatures will be a few degrees cooler tomorrow with the added cloud cover, back in the low to mid 70s.

Sunshine will re-enter the picture on Thursday and will dominate the weather by the weekend, pushing temperatures back up over the 80 degree mark for highs. Lows throughout the period will be mainly in the 50s, with one more night in the upper 40s possible tonight into tomorrow morning in sheltered rural locations north and west of Albany.

Unfortunately, high pressure will anchor itself over the Southeast this week into early next week, keeping any major rainfall-producing storm systems away for at least the next 7-10 days.
