Storms Expected Across Australia, Georgia

Weather forecasts vary sharply by region. Much of central and eastern Australia is expected to see showers and thunderstorms this week, with some storms potentially bringing large hail, damaging winds and heavy rain; cooler, drier conditions are forecast in the south at midweek. El Paso is forecast to be warm and mostly dry, with rain chances increasing later in the weekend, while a separate Michigan forecast calls for clouds and a possible shower. The National Weather Service issued a tropical storm watch for parts of Georgia as Hurricane Isaias strengthened over the Gulf; another report’s headline describes mostly good weather ahead of a hurricane but provides no further details.
