Lower humidity highlights Thursday and Friday
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – After last night’s storms across North Georgia, things are much quieter for today. Drier air surges into the area bringing a much welcome relief to the area. 
Skies have cleared and dry air will allow temperatures to quickly drop. The lows this morning will be in the mid to upper 60s across North Georgia and the lower 70s in Middle Georgia. Some might be able to give the AC a break and crack open the bedroom window to sleep. High temperatures will warm into the upper 80s and 90s across the area but without the oppressive humidity, meaning the feels like temps remain reasonable. I wouldn’t call it a dry heat, but it’s the best you’ll get in Georgia in July. Rain chances are minimal, although there is a chance that something could drift north of the stalled frontal boundary just south of the coverage area and impact some counties along the southern reaches of Middle Georgia. Tomorrow night looks like it 
could be even a few degrees cooler than tonight, bringing lows by Friday morning into the low to mid 60s across North Georgia and near 70 for much of Middle Georgia. By Thursday night the cold front that stalled across South Georgia will still be in place with drier airmass across North and Middle Georgia. The extended period starts off warm and dry Friday, but things begin to change Saturday. High temps Friday will still be in the upper 80s and 90s across the area but with Relative Humidity values in the 30 to 40 percent range it will not feel as humid and sticky as we have seen in the past few days. Friday morning a closed low center begins to deepen over Kansas as it pushes into Missouri Friday afternoon to evening. Its trailing cold front pushes through the mid southern Mississippi River Valley Friday night and begins knocking on Northwestern Georgia’s doorstep just before daybreak Saturday. By Saturday morning, the main low pressure center moves northeast into the central Great Lakes states Saturday and into the New England states Sunday. On the other hand, the frontal boundary stalls across east-southeast Georgia and the Carolinas as a developing Bermuda ridge blocks it from moving off shore. With Georgia on the periphery of this ridge, it will keep us in moist southwesterly flow through Wednesday. This will keep precipitation chances elevated with a diurnally driven trend each day. With showers and thunderstorms expected each day, highs will only get up into the 80s to near 90 Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
