MACON, Ga. – Severe storms will come into the picture Tuesday, more on that in a moment.
Today, we will see increasing clouds with temperatures reaching the mid-50s this afternoon. After sunset tonight, we will see some rain with a few red storms around midnight. This is not the main event.

By 7 a.m. Tuesday, the main storm line will begin moving into central Georgia. This line will be able to withstand winds in excess of 60 mph and compact tornadoes. It will take from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the line to move through central Georgia.
Here are the city-by-city arrival times for the main line:
- Macon: 9-10 a.m
- Warner Robins: 9-10 a.m
- Milledgeville: 10-11 a.m
- Dublin: 11am – 12pm
- Forsyth: 7-8 a.m
- Chains: 10-11 a.m
- Eastman: 11 a.m. – 12 p.m
- Sandersville: 11 a.m.-12 p.m
- McRae: 11am-12pm

Overall, I expect the threat of damaging winds to be the primary driver as the line passes. Hurricanes, some of which can be powerful, are also in the mix.
