MACON, Ga. — The 13WMAZ weather team is issuing a weather impact alert day for Sunday afternoon as strong thunderstorms are expected in our area. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined a level 2 out of 5 risk for most of Central Georgia for severe weather.
The main concern regarding possible severe weather will be storms that will produce winds up to or over 60 mph. There is also a chance for hail that could be an inch in diameter. Since these storms are associated with a frontal boundary, they will be fast-moving, and our threat of severe weather should end by the evening.
Here's what you need to know
When:
The Weather Impact Alert is for Sunday afternoon and evening. Northern counties should receive the storms around 4-5 p.m. The storms should move Macon and Warner Robins by 5-7 p.m. and be gone from the southern counties by 6-9 p.m.
Impact:
The storms could bring gusty winds that could uproot trees. Hail is also possible, and it can threaten property. Frequent lightning is expected for Sunday. If you hear thunder roar, head indoors!
