LITTLE TO NO RAIN
What we know:
Metro Atlanta is heading into a fourth consecutive week with little to no measurable rainfall, and conditions are beginning to show on the drought scale.
According to FOX 5 Atlanta meteorologist Joanne Feldman, the lowest level of drought, classified as “abnormally dry,” has now spread across much of metro Atlanta and North Georgia. While some isolated showers are possible this week, any rain will be light and won’t make a meaningful difference.
🌾 Drought Watch: Metro Atlanta remains abnormally dry, now four weeks with little to no rain.
The only real chance of rainfall comes from a low-pressure system off the North Carolina coast. While not tropical in nature, it may toss a few showers toward northeast Georgia, with slim chances they could reach closer to Atlanta by Tuesday.
