Some storms are expected to last into the overnight hours (a couple could potentially linger into Thursday morning) before finally dissipating. Temperatures will drop into the mid 60s ahead of Thursday morning thanks to the weak front. However, given overnight light and variable winds along with the rain late in the day Wednesday, there is a good chance Thursday will be off to a foggy start.

Thursday will be a cloudy but cooler day around Middle Georgia as temperatures top off in the mid 70s around the region. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms will be likely throughout the afternoon hours. Winds will largely blow from the east-northeast at about 5-12 mph.
