RACE WEEKEND WEATHER DISCUSSION
Area Forecast
Friday will be the last day of much warmer-than-normal weather before a cold front moves in over the weekend.
Friday morning will stay unusually mild with only a slight cooldown overnight. Daytime highs will still feel quite warm for this time of year, especially in far southeastern central Georgia.
The front will begin pushing south into the region on Friday, bringing the first round of rain during the afternoon. It is expected to stall somewhere over the area likely between the Atlanta metro and Macon through Saturday. That means rain chances will stay fairly high into Saturday afternoon.
Rainfall totals look to be in a light to moderate range over the weekend. If any stronger thunderstorms develop, some spots could pick up heavier amounts locally.
Models are starting to agree more on how quickly a system to our northeast will help push the front southward. Some show it clearing out by late Saturday night, while others suggest a bit of lingering into Sunday morning. The current forecast leans toward the slower side, but by late Sunday morning most of the rain should be gone from much of Georgia.
