Expect very warm conditions Wednesday as highs climb into the upper 70s and lower 80s across Middle Georgia. It will be a bit breezier as well with south-southwest winds flowing in at 5-15 mph. These will increase more overnight ahead of some storms that will arrive before sunrise Thursday.

Thursday is the Vernal Equinox (first day of spring), so there will be equal length day and night. It will also be a cooler day as a result of the cold front that brings those early storms. Temperatures will rebound ahead of the weekend.
