Tomorrow will be another rinse-and-repeat forecast, with numerous scattered thunderstorms expected across the area throughout the afternoon.

Hurricane Helene tree losses spur UGA replanting tool for homeowners
Augusta area residents still recovering from Hurricane Helene might soon have some state-developed online help to determine which trees to plant as replacements for those lost in the storm.

"The project was born from the Community Foundation for the Central Savannah River Area, Georgia Power and the University of Georgia wanting to help bring back the community forest and its benefits after all the devastation of Hurricane Helene," Perren said. Perren said local partners, including Georgia Power, reached out to UGA last year, making this a regional effort. "Recognizing that the tree canopy took some major hits in that storm, we wanted to give people information on how to plant the right tree in the right place to bring that canopy back," he said. "We're all working toward building this website to help homeowners across
