MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Middle Georgia will see near average temperatures Tuesday.

This Evening

A partly sunny afternoon will become a clear night as clouds fade out during the evening hours. Expect the trend of cooler nights to continue to a degree as lows drop into the low to mid 60s, or slightly below average for this time of year. Wind will be light out of the east.

Tomorrow

Tuesday will be another partly sunny day with clear skies in the morning and afternoon cumulus filling in around lunchtime. Highs will reach the upper 80s for most of the region. While lower 90s are possible, temperatures since the cold front last Friday have been mitigated a bit by wildfire smoke aloft that has blown south from Canada. Wind will also be a bit breezy from the southeast at 5-12 mph. Gusts could push as high as 20 mph.

The evening and overnight will again be mostly clear with lows expected to largely be in the mid 60s. Wind will flow from the east-southeast at 5-10 mph with gusts pushing 15 mph.

Wednesday and Beyond

Rain chances will start to return Wednesday afternoon as isolated storms develop with another front lurking to the north. Rain chances will climb into the end of the week as temperatures will hover around the average for this time of year. The trend does look a bit less cloudy than last week with much of the rain expected in the late afternoon and overnight hours.
