Dry vegetation and low relative humidity will increase fire danger conditions on Thursday afternoon and evening across parts of north and central Georgia, according to a weather service advisory. This includes Hall and surrounding counties. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged, as fires could get out of control.
And later today, we’ll get the latest report on the status of the drought from the U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM).
