News and Weather Briefing for Thursday, April 25, 2024
Here is the news and weather briefing for Macon County.
GENERAL OUTLOOK
A weak cold front should stall to our south today as high pressure moves past to our north. The front will move back northward on Friday and wash out across our area, but giving us a cooler day because of clouds and a few showers. After that, expect a warming trend through the weekend and into next week as high pressure takes over.
