Here is the weekend weather briefing for Macon County.
GENERAL OUTLOOK
Periods of rain will persist ahead of an approaching cold front today, with embedded thunderstorms developing at times. The cold front will pass through the area by early evening and gradually end the precipitation chances from the west for most of the area tonight. The main exception will be the North Carolina mountains, where colder air spilling in behind the front will produce high elevation snow and windy conditions into Monday morning. Dry high pressure then settles over the region on Monday and persists through the work week.
