The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Wave Advisory for Memorial Day weekend, May 24, 2019- May 28, 2019.
An extended period of unseasonably hot temperatures across north and central Georgia can be expected through the middle of next week. Widespread high temperatures in the mid to upper 90's are expected, with some locations exceeding 100 degrees especially along and south of a Columbus to Macon to Warrenton line in middle Georgia.
These temperatures are around 15 degrees above normal for late May. In addition, little relief is expected during the night as temperatures only fall into the 70's for most locations and no precipitation is expected in the area until possibly Wednesday or Thursday.
The unusual heat, this early in the season, will likely break several daily high temperature records across the region and will put all-time monthly records in jeopardy over the Memorial Day weekend.
City of South Fulton Fire Stations are designed to be a place of refuge from severe weather and will serve as cooling stations during the Memorial Day weekend heat wave. Residents and non-residents can visit any of the below fire stations which are open 24/7:
