ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) -

A lack of rainfall over the next 10 days will surely worsen the drought that has plagued SGA for months now. Due to very dry and warm weather in the forecast, South Georgia will continue to carry the high fire danger risk through the next 7 days, at least. Use extreme caution if you are planning to burn, and stay up to date on any burn bans from your local officials.
