Less humid end to the week, Dry start to the weekend

COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - A mostly dry end to the week and start to the weekend is on tap. However, by Sunday the humidity returns with a vengeance and we’ll have a decent chance of storms at times, too.

Clouds around to start Friday with perhaps a stray shower south, but sunshine should increase throughout the day as dry and less humid air moves into the valley. Highs near 85 north, upper 80s in Columbus and Phenix City and near 90 south.

Clear to partly cloudy tonight with comfortable temperatures overnight. Lows are expected to be in the upper 50s north, with lows around 60 to 65 degrees elsewhere Saturday morning.

We’re shaping up to be pretty dry Saturday. The general theme of a dry Saturday and more unsettled Sunday we’ve been preaching on this week remains pretty much the same. We’ll have a mix of sun and clouds Saturday. There could be a couple isolated storms especially in our far southern communities later Saturday or Saturday evening. Highs will be near 90 degrees.

Starting Sunday, a much better potential of scattered showers and storms exists; some of us could even get rain in the morning, although the highest coverage (around 60%) is expected during the afternoon and evening. Highs in the mid to upper 80s.

The workweek starts off a little stormy, too, at times. As the heat builds to our west, we’ll be on the edge of some extra heat next week and have scattered storms at times. Highs will mostly be in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees. It could be hotter on days you don’t get the storms. The heat may try to build in even more closer to Father’s Day. Stay tuned!
