A slight break in the dreariness before the rain returns

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Due to light to calm winds, and given the soupy airmass in place, we expect to see fog develop, especially across Middle Georgia. The trough currently over

the eastern third of the region will shift eastward, giving way to a shortwave ridge over the Southeast today. The stationary front is to remain draped in the vicinity of the I-20 corridor, so expect a chance of showers and storms across Middle Georgia this afternoon and early evening. Similar to yesterday, storms are expected to remain sub-severe, posing the typical summertime storm hazards– gusty winds frequent lightning and heavy rainfall. For Thursday, moisture levels will be near normal however, additional moisture is forecast to be pulled across Georgia in a southerly flow. A weak wedge of high pressure will latch on to a  frontal boundary stretched along the Gulf coast reinforcing the southerly flow. Moisture levels are projected to increase through the end of the week.
