This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of North and Central Georgia.

.DAY ONE...Tonight...

Showers and isolated thunderstorms will move across much of north 
and central Georgia through this evening. Locally heavy rain 
and brief wind gusts up to 40 MPH will be the primary threats. 

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday...

...Tropical Storm Warnings and a Hurricane Watch is in effect for 
portions of Central Georgia... 

Hurricane Michael is now a major hurricane and is expected to make 
landfall along the Florida panhandle Wednesday. Michael will then 
accelerate northeast, crossing central and southern Georgia 
Wednesday night into Thursday morning. 

During the height of the storm, sustained winds of 25 to 45 mph will 
be possible with gusts as high as 60 mph across portions of central 
Georgia, with the strongest winds roughly along and south of a 
Columbus to Macon to Sandersville line. Widespread rainfall amounts 
of 3 to 5 inches are expected, with the potential for locally higher 
amounts of 5 to 7 inches. An elevated risk of localized flash 
flooding exists due to the heavy rain potential.

For additional information, please see the latest Hurricane Local 
Statement or Flash Flood Watch for additional information.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not requested but spotters are encouraged to 
safely submit storm reports as conditions ramp up Wednesday through 
Thursday.
