Hot and mainly dry Tuesday before rain coverage goes up a bit

COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - As a weak front approaches the Chattahoochee Valley, Wednesday and Thursday still appear to be the best chance this week to see some storms dancing around. Coverage won’t be widespread though.

Morning sunshine on this Tuesday will be followed up by a partly cloudy afternoon. Hot with highs near 90 and maybe a couple stray showers and storms during the late afternoon and early evening, especially in east Alabama or near the river.

Dry and less humid Friday and most of Saturday with hot afternoons and pleasant late nights and early mornings. Highs will be in the upper 80s to near 90 with lows in the low to mid 60s; a few upper 50s are possible in the normally cooler spot Saturday morning.
