Tracking strong to severe storms possible Friday afternoon

TODAY: Thursday will feel slightly warmer with a return to a light south breeze marking the return of near 90 highs and slightly high humidity. Skies are partly cloudy with plenty of sunshine to have you reaching for the sunscreen today. Our UV index is forecast at a 10 today, meaning you may sunburn in 15-20 minutes.

TONIGHT: Skies clear overnight, and temperatures hover near 70 through the early morning hours.

EXTENDED: Friday is warmer, feeling like near 100 through the heat of the day. An ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather Alert Day has been issued for scattered storms Friday afternoon from 4 PM- 5 AM. We'll see better storm chances by the evening, as a cold front drops in from the northwest. The strongest storms may be capable of wind, hail, and tornadoes near the front before sunset. The current timing shows the greatest risk for this near Brunswick to Macon, with a lesser threat for primarily gusty winds sticking with storms as they move southeast into the late evening. The front will stall on Saturday, keeping rain chances in the forecast for Saturday afternoon. More small rain chances hit the forecast each day from Sunday through Tuesday.
