A mostly cloudy day will stay that way through most of the evening before some clearing happens during the overnight hours.

Lows will be in the low to mid 70s accompanied by light wind from the east around 5 mph.

A relatively clear start is expected to Thursday before clouds gradually fill in through lunchtime and into the afternoon. Around half the region or so should see showers or storms as a weak low pressure remains in the area but drifts west. Highs will largely be in the low to mid 90s with heat indexes pushing 100.

The low pressure responsible for the clouds Middle Georgia is seeing today is expected to move over the Gulf in the next few days. Odds for development currently are 10% over the next 7 days, however it will be something to watch going forwards.
