Friday will see some rain early before scattered thunderstorms become possible in the late afternoon and evening, carrying into the overnight hours. It will be a cooler day as a result of the added cloud cover with highs expected to reach the low to mid 80s.

Saturday will be the best chance for rain as the next cold front arrives, however. It is too far out at this point to know whether or not severe weather will be a possibility, however thunderstorms are likely the back half of the day Saturday as the cold front arrives. Sunday will bring nicer conditions back to Middle Georgia with summer heat taking over early next week.
