A hot July 4th in store for Middle Georgia

MACON. Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – A trough is moving across New England and is expected to eject into the Atlantic today. Notably within that system is an upper level front that will be important for the generation of a potential tropical low over the weekend. The main impacts of this system will keep our current stable atmosphere in place. Moisture lacks at the surface.  Storm chances remain confined to where the better surface moisture is in place down into eastern portions of Middle Georgia, although some isolated thunderstorms will also be possible  later today in parts of Central Georgia. Highs for the 4th will be a few degrees above average, running in the lower to mid 90s across the area. Lows in the morning on the 4th will be in the lower 70s across the metro. For the  evening, temperatures will cool after sunset, with temps in the lower 80s by 9 pm across both north and Central Georgia. Skies should be mostly clear, and most if not all afternoon storms in Middle Georgia will likely have come to an end or be winding down by that time.
