Updated Hazardous Weather Outlook
Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected to develop across the area this afternoon and evening. The main threats will be from frequent cloud to ground lightning and brief torrential rainfall. However, a few storms could briefly become severe and produce isolated damaging wind gusts. In addition, excessive rainfall could occur in isolated locations, resulting in flash flooding of small streams and urban areas.
Here is the news and weather briefing for Macon County.
GENERAL OUTLOOK
A pattern change begins to evolve today, as a cold front approaches from the northwest, then becomes stationary across our region for several days. This will keep shower and thunderstorm chances elevated through at least early next week.
