Friday midday weather forecast

Cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-70s are expected across North Georgia Friday before rain begins moving in from the south around 8 or 9 p.m. FOX 5 Storm Team meteorologist Marquise Meda says showers will become heavier overnight, with strengthening winds and a risk of brief tornadoes as Hurricane Isaias approaches. Residents should use the remaining quiet hours to finish storm preparations and make sure they can receive weather alerts overnight. Conditions are expected to worsen heading into Saturday morning, bringing the potential for flooding and power outages.
