Daily Weather Briefing for Friday, March 29, 2019





Agenda for the April 2019 Franklin Town Council Released

The public agenda and agenda packet for the regular monthly meeting of the Franklin Town Council for April 2019 has been released. Macon Media has a copy of them both on the blog. IN the agenda packet is the new deed for the Nikwasi Mound. [LINK]

Outlook

Dry conditions will continue through the end of the work week as surface high pressure shifts offshore and allows for a gradual warming trend. Rain chances return late Saturday through Sunday along an approaching cold front. A coastal storm could produce precipitation over the southeast early next week.
