MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Rain chances will remain low to finish the work week as the sun sticks around.

This Evening

Mostly sunny skies from the afternoon should give way to mostly clear skies overnight tonight. Lows will largely be in the upper 60s as the wind comes from the southeast around 5 mph. That’s good for a few degrees below average around the region.

Tomorrow

Friday will see mostly sunny skies for the majority of the day, however in the evening a few more clouds may begin to move in. Highs will primarily climb into the lower 90s with heat indexes into the mid 90s. While most of the High School Football games will be in the evening, a pair of them in Fort Valley will be in the afternoon. Players and spectators alike must stay hydrated. A stray shower will be possible in the evening for the northernmost counties of Middle Georgia, however overall rain is not expected for Friday.

The overnight hours will see scattered clouds, however any rain that does move in during the evening should fizzle out quickly. Lows will mainly be in the lower 70s as the wind shifts towards the southwest.

The Tropics

Ernesto now has an eye as it continues to strengthen in the Atlantic. It is currently a Category 1 storm with winds of 85 mph. It should avoid North America save for the far eastern reaches of Canada. Bermuda, however, is potentially in the path of the powerful storm.
