Colder temperatures arrive for Friday

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) Thursday will bring cooler and breezy conditions behind the passage of a front. West-northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 to 30 mph are forecast through the afternoon. High temperatures at the higher elevations are projected to be in the 50s with 60s to low 70s elsewhere. Moving into Thursday night into Friday morning, the latest guidance suggests some wrap around precipitation across our far northeastern counties. Temperatures are expected to fall into the low to mid 30s across North Georgia and low 40s in Middle Georgia. At this time precipitation does not really line up with the colder/at below freezing temperatures beyond a few points at the highest elevations so the precipitation will largely remain liquid. Additionally, with winds staying elevated during this period, chances for frost development are low. The extended period opens on Friday morning with an Arctic surface high beginning to dive southward across the Central U.S., acco
