MACON, Ga. — All eyes are on the Gulf of Mexico this week where Tropical Storm Helene churns and continues to strengthen.

As we head through midweek, we'll see a shower or storm in parts of our area Wednesday, but this is not related to Helene.

That will begin Thursday morning. We'll see off and on rain throughout the day as the outer bands of Helene begin to move in to central Georgia.

As of now, heavy rain and gusty winds look very likely for impacts. The intensity of these impacts will depend mainly on which side of the storm pushes through central Georgia, with stronger impacts lying on the "dirty side." As of now, the main window for the gustiest winds will be late Thursday night overnight into Friday morning.

By Friday morning, the remants of Helene will quickly move into north Georgia, making way for a nice Friday night and a great weekend.
