Is 538 and that wind already picking up.
You said it might be worse
than what we saw on Saturday,
right? Yeah, our peak wind gusts,
at least at the Macon airport,
was 36 mph on Saturday and we could
experience wind gusts upwards of
45 mph today. I'm still brushing
knots out of my hair from Saturday.
Resting thing is, I don't know if
the wind is coming out of the South,
but you can kind of already feel
a little bit of that moisture.
And I I could smell it honestly
this morning in the air,
absolutely. And you're right, one.
Yeah, yeah, the wind is coming
out of the southeast this morning.
That's pulling in some of that
more warm and moist air off.
Of the Atlantic Ocean that is off
to our east, and that is going to
help aid in a warmer day today.
That humidity will also continue
to go up just slightly.
Don't get me wrong,
it's not going to be summertime sticky today,
but you will notice that extra
moisture around in the air you can
see here on top of the fairgrounds
that wind just slightly starting
to pick up its light for now.
But the wind today is all going to be a
precursor to our cold front tomorrow.
That will of course bring us
that potential for severe storms.
So you're looking live on top
of the fairgrounds here.
A couple of people already
making their way out the door.
These trucks I'm sure we're going to
see a lot of them parked on the side
of the road this afternoon because we
know it is pretty dangerous for them
to be driving when it gets windy like that.
So just take extra caution as we
head into the afternoon hours
when it comes to that commute.
59 right now in the city of Perry,
it is a lot warmer out there.
There's that dew point,
so there's the moisture content in the
air starting to go up all week long.
We've typically sat in the 30s and
40s for dew points and mid 50s.
Isn't like I said,
super sticky,
but you are going to notice that
difference in the air this morning.
Here's a look at the wind advisory.
For the area today,
this is what you can expect wind
wise it will go into effect starting
at 11:00 o'clock this morning and
go stay in effect rather until
8:00 o'clock tomorrow 15 to 25 mile
per hour sustained winds.
So that's that constant wind that'll be
enough to knock over your trash cans.
I know personally,
in my neighborhood it is trash pickup day,
I'm sure that's going to be a little
bit of a game for all of us later
to go find them and Gus upwards
of 45 mph will be possible,
so can't stress enough that you
really strapped down any kind of
loose objects that are in your yard.
And just both hands on the steering
wheel as you're driving.
Here's our front that we're going
to be watching tomorrow already.
Bringing severe weather to parts of Arkansas.
In fact,
a tornado warning just popped up
not too long ago and there is going
to be a really significant threat
for severe weather out to our West,
including the potential for more
tornadic activity.
In fact, strong tornadoes,
long tracked,
tornadoes F2 or higher will be possible
within this read highlighted area here.
That's a level 4 out of five
threat for severe storms.
And yes,
this is the same area that dealt with
that just last week. March has been.
So busy severe weather wise and
this really is just the beginning
of the severe weather season for
us here in the Southeast March,
April and May are the most
active times of year for us.
And when Gus 75 mph or higher will be
possible, put that in perspective.
We're talking upwards of a category.
One hurricane wind gusts in parts of
Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana.
So if you have any friends out there,
be sure they're staying.
Weather aware now that threat is
going to push into central Georgia
and we talk about this a lot today.
Storm Outlook the day one technically
goes into tomorrow morning.
So for us we're looking 5:00 to 7:00 AM,
but then we further that threat into
early tomorrow afternoon and you
can see we do bump that threat up
to a level 2 for some of the areas,
mainly from Bibb County off to the southeast.
What we're primarily going to be looking for,
damaging wind gusts and very heavy rain.
Some of us could look at.
Pick up two inches of rain through
the morning tomorrow,
maybe a brief isolated tornadoes.
We head into the morning so as
we go through the day today,
severe weather on going out to our West.
That front will start to push into
northwest Georgia through the overnight
hours and then knock on our door.
As we head towards five 6:00
o'clock in the morning,
this is when will open up that window
of opportunity for severe storms.
This is going to come through just
in time for that morning commute.
Look at this time 8:00 o'clock.
Heavy rain.
That's gonna cause some limited visibility.
Gusty wind within this 60 mile per hour.
Wind gusts and any severe storms at this
point in the day South and east of Macon.
That's where I think we'll be looking for.
Maybe a brief isolated tornado
threat comes to an end around
1:00 o'clock in the afternoon,
the second half of the day looks
great. Will stay windy though.
Will be dry Friday all the way
through Monday. Lots of sunshine.
Low to mid 70s. Our next rain
chance could come on Tuesday.
