Forecast: Patchy fog, plenty of sun in store Monday

ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Much-warmer air returns to the region by midweek. Rain chances remain low for the next seven days.

Tonight, cool and mostly clear. Calm winds and a mainly clear sky will lead to the possibility of patchy fog in our southeastern counties overnight. Lows in most communities will reach the low to mid 50s.

A dry cold front will push through the region early Monday. That will reinforce the cool and dry weather we’ve enjoyed recently. It will also lead to some breezy weather by the afternoon with wind gusts up to 20 or 25 mph possible. Highs both Monday and Tuesday will top out near 80 under plenty of sun. Overnight lows will be on the chilly-side Tuesday morning. Expect temperatures on either side of 50.

The warmth returns in full-force by Wednesday with high pressure well in control.

Highs Wednesday through Friday will top out in the mid to upper 80s under a generally sunny sky. The warmer temperatures continue into next weekend with highs near 90 degrees. Slight rain chances return Friday through Sunday.

Overnight lows warm back into the 60s beginning Thursday morning.
