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

.DAY ONE...Rest of Tonight...

Isolated thunderstorms are possible across portions of north and central
Georgia through the overnight hours. 


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

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

Hurricane Michael is 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 around 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.
Some brief weak tornadoes are possible as well mainly southeast of
a line from Americus to Dublin to Waynesboro.

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


.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
