Temperatures in Southeast Georgia and the Lowcountry are set to jump into the 70s on Tuesday, bringing a touch of spring weather to the region. However, the dry conditions are expected to continue, with the Savannah area seeing a rainfall deficit of around 3 inches. Scattered light rain showers are possible on Wednesday, but not enough to make a significant dent in the ongoing drought.

Why it matters

The unseasonably warm temperatures will provide a welcome respite from the recent cold weather, but the lack of rainfall is a concern, as the region continues to experience severe to extreme drought conditions.

The details

Temperatures on Tuesday afternoon are forecast to reach the 70s, with locations near the coast and beaches remaining in the 60s. The dry weather and sunshine will push Savannah's year-to-date rainfall deficit to around 3 inches. On Wednesday, there is a chance of spotty light rain showers, but the rainfall totals are expected to be in the trace to 0.10-inch range, not enough to significantly impact the drought.
