Strong to severe storms sweep into Middle Georgia overnight

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – While we could see strong storms this afternoon, the major line of storms arrives overnight with an approaching cold front. A nasty squall line will push through the Peach State along with that front.

Let’s talk about the timing: this afternoon, isolated storms will pop up and move from south to north throughout Georgia. There’s a chance for severe weather, with gusty winds being the primary threat. Otherwise, expect your usual showers and storms. High of 75.

This evening, overcast with a few showers and storms possible.

Overnight is when the line of storms from the upcoming cold front enters our area.

Here’s what you need to know:

Arrival time – Pegging this around 1am to 2am overnight, starting in western counties
Departure time – The brunt of this squall line leaves between 8am and 9am Wednesday
Primary concerns – Strong, gusty winds
Other concerns – Can’t rule out an isolated tornado due to the high wind shear

Wednesday afternoon, isolated showers and storms are possible, though none of it looks that serious.

By Thursday, we return to sunshine. Our highs will drop to chilly 50s with overnight lows in the upper 20s and low 30s.
