MACON, Georgia. (41NBC/WMGT) – A cold front will push into the southeast Tuesday, firing up showers and storms ahead of it.

Showers and storms will pop-up in Middle Georgia starting around noon, becoming more scattered in nature through the bulk of the afternoon.

A line of rain my develop and extend into the Middle Georgia area around dinnertime. No severe weather is expected, but some storms could be strong.

The rain will die down close to midnight. Clouds will stick around for Wednesday morning.

A high pressure system will build up across the mid-west and help clear moisture from the atmosphere resulting in more sunshine for the afternoon.

While the cold front won’t create a drastic change in temperatures, it will drop humidity substantially.

Aside from her time forecasting the weather in college, Kristen also interned at WSB-TV, a local news station in Atlanta, during the summer of 2015. When she's not monitoring weather conditions, Kristen is probably talking or watching sports. She grew up watching her brothers play and even got involved in a few sports herself. Kristen loves college football, though she is biased towards the SEC. She notes that Saturdays down south in the fall are arguably some of the best days of the year. She has always been an Atlanta Braves fan, and she also enjoys watching the Atlanta Falcons and the Atlanta Hawks battle it out against their opponents. Kristen also loves the outdoors and exploring new locations to hammock with a view. She constantly has an eye to the sky, and eagerly awaits sunset each day - hoping for a colorful sky to capture with her camera. She is excited to finally experience some beautiful sunrises now that she's working the morning side of the day.
