MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – An incoming cold front will bring scattered storms for the first half of the weekend and cooler conditions to start next week.

A mostly cloudy afternoon will become a mostly cloudy night. A couple of storms will be possible in the northern parts of Middle Georgia but most of the region will stay dry on this First Friday. Tonight will be warm with lows expected in the lower 60s. Wind will be light and variable. Fog will be possible into the start of Saturday as well.

Tomorrow

Saturday will be mostly cloudy with highs expected in the low to mid 80s. Wind will be a bit more pronounced as well as it flows from the south-southwest at 10-15 mph. Gusts could push over 20 mph.

Showers may begin during the lunchtime hours however more widespread storms will likely begin in the late afternoon. As of now a Level 1 “Marginal” severe threat includes all of Middle Georgia.
