**NOTE** The rainfall we received overnight is not enough to cancel the burn ban. The burn ban is still in effect for now.
Here is the news and weather briefing for Macon County.
GENERAL OUTLOOK
Dry and cool high pressure controls our weather through early Wednesday. Low pressure tracks east across northern Florida from late Wednesday into Thursday bringing a chance for rain from northeast Georgia to Charlotte. A cold front crosses our region Friday night but will be limited in moisture so only low chances for rain.
The recent rainfall has stopped the growth of the nearby fires and allowed firecrews to gain ground on containment of the Collett Riudge Fire from 15% to 18%. No other updated figures from other fires is available at the time of publication (probably due to it being both a holiday and a weekend), so the numbers in the map below are the ones that were current as of Friday afternoon/evening.
IMAGE
A map of the currently active (Sunday, Nov 12th) fires follows the three day forecast in the Hazards section. Here is a list the nearby fires, the acreage they've consumed, and the percent containment achieved by firefighters.
• Wayah Bald Fire - 0.1 acres and 100% contained (Macon County) caused by an RV Fire
• Collett Ridge Fire - 5.335 acres and 18% contained (Cherokee and Clay Counties)
• Mill Mountain Fire - 675 acres 0% contained (Oconee County)
• East Fork Fire - 310 acres and 95% contained (Jackson County)
• Flat Mountain Fire - 5 acres and 100% contained (Jackson County)
• Casino Fire - 5 acres and 100% contained (Cherokee County)
