Rain chances lurking...when the dry spell ends across Southeast Georgia, Lowcountry

Rain returns to the region

The ongoing dry stretch across Southeast Georgia and the South Carolina Lowcountry is expected to wrap up soon, as a more unsettled weather pattern develops in the coming days.

End of the dry spell

For Savannah, the dry spell has lasted close to a month, with very little meaningful rainfall recorded over that period. Forecast guidance now points to increasing rain chances that should finally bring measurable precipitation back to the area.

Timing of increasing rain chances

Rain opportunities begin to rise over the next few days as moisture deepens and disturbances track across the region. Showers may first appear as scattered, hit‑or‑miss activity before coverage becomes more widespread during the most favorable time window indicated by the forecast.

What to expect with the showers

Most of the expected rain will come in the form of light to moderate showers, though a few heavier downpours cannot be ruled out where storms briefly strengthen. Localized pockets may pick up higher totals, but overall rainfall is aimed at easing the dryness rather than bringing significant flooding concerns.

Impact on the dry pattern

The incoming rain will help break the prolonged dry pattern and provide some relief for lawns, gardens, and area vegetation. Even after this wetter stretch, additional rounds of showers later in the forecast period will likely be needed to fully make up for the past month’s rainfall deficit.

After nearly a month with little rain in Savannah, increasing shower chances in the days ahead signal the long‑running dry spell is finally nearing an end.

Author’s summary

A persistent month‑long dry pattern over Southeast Georgia and the Lowcountry will soon give way to several days of increasing showers and a gradual, much‑needed return of rainfall.
