Cold front brings increased chances for showers and storms

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) Low clouds and scattered light rain showers blanket much of North and Middle Georgia this morning. Soggy, dreary conditions will persist through the day as shower and thunderstorm coverage increases as a weak warm front lifts northward ahead of an approaching cold front. A tight pressure gradient between the approaching system to the west and the wedge that remains over the area will result in continued gusty winds particularly across North Georgia today. There remains a low-end risk for a couple of strong to severe thunderstorms capable of producing gusty winds and localized flooding. Currently , instability may be limited given the fact cloud cover is in place. If any breaks in the clouds occurs, instability may increase. Additionally, localized nuisance flooding mainly in low-lying or poor drainage areas will be a potential threat especially if showers or storms repeatedly move over the same areas or are slow moving.
