It was a wet morning across Middle Georgia to get Wednesday started; while most of that rain has cleared some scattered showers remain in the late afternoon and will continue into the evening as a cold front slowly makes a pass through.

Skies will largely be clear after midnight with temperatures likely to drop into the upper 30s and lower 40s.

Temperatures will be down almost 10 degrees from Wednesday afternoon however as highs are expected in the low to mid 60s for most of Middle Georgia. The wind will be light and primarily out of the north.

Overnight should be even chillier than Wednesday night as most of Middle Georgia should drop into the 30s. Temperatures should remain above freezing, however. Wind will remain light out of the north. Overhead skies should be mostly clear.

Friday and Beyond
