Windy conditions with increasing rain chances will persist through Thursday. Temperatures will stay below seasonal averages as onshore winds increase to 15-20 mph, gusting into the 30 - 40 mph range.

Even with rising rain chances, a Fire Weather Watch has been issued for inland Southeast Georgia on Tuesday as Extreme to Exceptional Drought conditions continue.
