Georgia is facing ongoing river flooding along the Ocmulgee, particularly south of Macon, as residents prepare for potential travel disruptions and local road closures. While today’s high will hover around 78°F, mostly cloudy skies tonight may exacerbate minor flooding risks in vulnerable areas. Caution is urged for those driving along I-75 and other local roads.
According to the National Weather Service, the flooding is expected to persist through the weekend, with low-lying areas seeing continued minor to moderate impacts. Flooding may cause road closures or delays, so residents are advised to check conditions before traveling and to avoid driving through standing water. Saturday brings mostly sunny weather with a high near 82°F, but river flooding could persist into early next week.
Looking ahead to Sunday, temperatures will climb to 82°F, accompanied by clear skies. By Monday, the area will warm further, with highs reaching 83°F under sunny skies. However, river flooding risks along the Ocmulgee will continue through the early part of next week, particularly affecting communities south of Macon.
Those planning outdoor activities this weekend should stay alert to any local advisories, especially along the I-75 corridor, and monitor river conditions closely. Georgia’s extended forecast suggests warmer, clearer conditions by Tuesday, with sunny skies and a high of 76°F expected.
