Mostly cloudy skies will hang with Middle Georgia through the rest of Tuesday and into the overnight hours. Isolated to scattered storms will likely fire up during the suppertime hours, becoming more widespread from about 10 pm until 2 am. For tonight’s storms, a Level 1 “Marginal” risk has been issued for all of Middle Georgia. This is due to the potential for a couple of storms to become strong to severe. They could bring a few strong wind gusts or some hail.
