MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – An incoming cold front will bring in rare southeast moving storms overnight tonight.

This Evening and Overnight

A sunny afternoon will see plenty of clouds move in during the sunset hours and into tonight. Rain should hold off until close to midnight. A Level 1 “Marginal” risk includes most of the region. Some hail and a few wind gusts will be possible. With the storms moving southeast vs the typical northeast track, the tornado threat is nearly eliminated. On top of that, dew points will be too low for storm bases to push towards the surface.

Aside from storms expect ambient winds from the west-southwest at 7-15 mph with gusts pushing over 20 mph. Skies will be cloudy with temperatures dropping into the low to mid 50s.

Tomorrow

Friday will be partly cloudy and windy across Middle Georgia. Highs will reach into the low to mid 70s around the region as the wind flows from the west-northwest at 10-17 mph. Gusts will range 25-30 mph, especially in the evening. A few spotty showers will be possible in the afternoon and evening as well.

Overnight clouds will work to clear out as the wind continues from the northwest at 6-13 mph. Gusts will continue at 15-20 mph leading up to Saturday morning. Expect lows in the mid 40s around the region.

This Weekend

Sunny conditions are likely both days this weekend. Saturday will be cool with highs in the upper 60s and lower 70s with wind expected out of the north-northwest at 5-10 mph. Sunday will see light and variable winds with highs reaching the low to mid 70s. 80s will return for most of Middle Georgia come Monday.
