The greatest visibility reductions are expected in central Georgia, though noticeable wildfire smoke is still expected in parts of north Georgia. Visible smoke should be most prominent during the early to mid morning hours Thursday before improving by late morning and afternoon. Additionally, areas of reduced air quality are possible in association with the smoke. Those with asthma and other respiratory concerns should consider limiting prolonged outdoor activity and exertion.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
