Partly sunny and warm conditions will continue through the evening before things become more mild overnight. Expect low temperatures to hover in the mid to upper 50s around the region. The wind will flow from the southwest around 5 mph. Overhead skies should be mostly clear, however a bit of that smoky haze may stick around. Air quality has improved over the last couple of days ever so slightly.

Plenty of sun is likely early before more clouds fill in during the lunchtime hours ahead of storms. Temperatures will peak in the mid to upper 80s around the region with afternoon and evening storms cooling the locations down that receive them. While not everyone in Middle Georgia is guaranteed to see rain more than half of the region should. Severe weather is not expected however the most intense storms may bring some strong wind gusts or small hail. The wind will flow out of the southwest at 5-13 mph with gusts pushing 15-20 mph.

Conditions will likely be a bit cooler Sunday afternoon with a shift to the northwest expected with the wind early Sunday. A few showers or perhaps a storm will be possible during the day however the odds for rain look a lot lower than Saturday. Sunny skies are likely to begin the next work week before more storm odds return during the middle of the week.
