Missing Mifi
As a result, Macon Media will only be able to post information about accidents, severe weather, power outages, etc only when Bobby is at locations with public Wifi access. The daily weather briefings will be posted between 6am and 8am until it is either returned or another can be purchased.
I am sorry for the inconvenience this may cause and will get a replacement as soon as I am able.

Weather Hazards
Isolated thunderstorms will develop across the region this afternoon. Cloud to ground lightning will be the main threat with a few storms capable of producing heavy downpours and gusty winds.
SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE TOMORROW
HEAVY RAINS POSSIBLE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS
A cold front will approach the area on Friday while the atmosphere becomes moderately unstable during the afternoon. Strong to even severe level thunderstorms may develop especially across the North Carolina mountains. Large hail and possibly damaging winds will be the main threats, along with the potential for localized flooding associated with slow-moving storms.
Over the next several days, it is likely that Macon County will receive between two and four inches of rain with some locations potentially seeing up to 6 inches where multiple rainstorms and thunderstorms occur. Low-lying areas and locations with poor drainage may see some flash flooding and roadways with the same problems will become dangerous as conditions will be ripe for hydroplaning when motorists cross these areas. Please be careful and slow down during these times and then on your headlights so other motorists can see you.
