While it will stay dry through Friday, on Saturday a rain system will move into Alabama, dropping the first significant rain in a long time. It will move into Georgia by early morning on Saturday and then progress farther to the east, bringing good rain to a lot of the region. Most of the rain shown on the map below will occur Thursday night through Saturday night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the rainy weather will largely bypass southeastern Alabama and southern Georgia as well as a good part of Florida, but more northern areas should see improvements in drought conditions associated with the rainfall. The prospects for week 2 look good, with all of the region likely to get more rain than normal. After that, chances return to normal for most of the region for the next two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2026\/04\/7-day-qpf-4-19-2026.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"561\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2026\/04\/7-day-qpf-4-19-2026.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29909\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2026\/04\/image-7.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"791\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2026\/04\/image-7-1024x791.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2026\/04\/image-7-1024x791.png 1024w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2026\/04\/image-7-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2026\/04\/image-7-768x593.png 768w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2026\/04\/image-7-1536x1187.png 1536w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2026\/04\/image-7.png 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a very long dry period for most of the region, including a few mostly meager showers this morning with the cold front that passed through the region, we are finally starting to see a change in the weather pattern by the end of this week.
