Scattered t-storms expected later today as a front pushes south

Georgia’s MACON (41NBC/WMGT) With the upper-level trough swinging eastward and bringing a frontal boundary southward across the region into Wednesday, we anticipate a change in our weather pattern for today. Increased instability will result from this front acting as a pushing area across the region. As these storms move across Georgia into the evening and early nighttime, models predict that they will form in a linear pattern. The region is at a Marginal Risk for flooding and severe weather, according to the Storm Prediction Center. Although storms could keep temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s, the short-term forecast still predicts high temperatures and humidity. Georgia will see moisture levels close to normal on Wednesday. As a result, seasonally average weather is expected, with thunderstorms and afternoon showers being common. It is predicted that an area of locally higher winds will be related with an upper-level trough located north of the region. The formation of afternoon convection may benefit from this.
