MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Temperatures will climb back above average this week as plenty of sun sticks around.

This Evening

Scattered clouds over Middle Georgia will largely clear out heading into tonight. It will be rather cool as temperatures dip into the upper 40s across much of the region. Winds will continue to feed from the east-northeast at around 5 mph throughout the night.

Tomorrow

Sunny skies will persist as temperatures climb into the upper 70s around Middle Georgia. Winds will flow from the east-northeast at around 5-10 mph, gusting to about 15.

Tomorrow night a few clouds may pass through, but overall skies will be largely clear. Temperatures will bottom out in the lower 50s as the wind shifts more towards the east-southeast.

Midweek and Beyond

More high pressure is expected to fill in around the southeastern US during the middle of the week, suppressing rain chances for most of the state. A few showers look to be possible around parts of the Peach State on Thursday, however most of that is in either North or Southeastern Georgia. Temperatures will rise above average back into the 80s ahead of the weekend as an overall sunny and warm pattern finishes the week.
