SRNL Weather Center Fire Forecast (PM)

Date:
April 23, 2026
Forecast Period:
8:00 PM Today (April 23, 2026) through 8:00 AM Three Days from Now (April 27, 2026)
Discussion:
Sunny and dry conditions continue today. Chances of more weather activity this weekend and the high pressure ridge over the region breaks down and a front moves over the area on the weekend with potential for rain.
Special Conditions:
Elevated fire risk due to weather conditions will persist through Friday. Additionally, smoke from fires in South Georgia will continue moving into our region producing low air quality concerns for the CSRA - especially in the overnight period where stable conditions are likely to produce an inversion.
