How Much Longer Will Snow, Cold Last: When To Expect Spring In GA

A new forecast offers hope for a warm spring in Georgia, where residents are still recovering from a colossal winter storm that brought heavy snow, crippling ice and subzero windchills to an area stretching from Texas to Maine.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac’s 2026 spring forecast comes amid warnings of another significant winter storm this weekend that could affect much of the East Coast.

But let’s look ahead to spring, which officially begins with the vernal equinox on Friday, March 20.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac outlook suggests the weather in Georgia during April and May will be warmer and drier than usual.

“Along the Carolinas and Georgia, temperatures will be warmer than usual. April will be drier than usual, while May will be slightly wetter than normal,” the report read.

The Almanac predicts warmer-than-normal temperatures across most of the country. Temperatures that are closer to or below seasonal averages are expected in Parts of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and areas of Montana and Colorado.

Most of the country will also be drier than normal, with wetter conditions expected in Upper Alaska, Texas and Oklahoma, the Northern Appalachians, the High Plains, the Upper Midwest, and the Intermountain region.

The Almanac says it uses a “unique formula” to make its predictions, consulting solar science, climatology and meteorology.
