Tomorrow is First Friday for Middle Georgians and the weather will be sunny and hot. Temperatures will reach into the low to mid 90s and there shouldn’t be much difference between the actual temperatures and the heat indexes. Winds from the northwest gusting over 20 mph will also help to cut the edge off the heat. Cloud cover will be limited to a few scattered cumulus in the afternoon, however, so sunscreen will be a necessity for folk spending time outside.
