Weekend showers, a taste of fall next week

ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Mostly cloudy with only isolated showers across SGA on Friday. Through the evening mostly dry with the exception of areas of light rain. Overnight showers return for a damp start on Saturday. Morning rain light then isolated storms through the afternoon. Not a washout but definitely keep an umbrella nearby.

Sunday as a cold front slides east, scattered showers and storms likely through the afternoon. Behind the front, drier air gradually filters in clearing us out for a really nice set up next week.

Look for tons of sunshine and slightly below average temperatures through the week. Enjoy highs in the low-mid 80s and lows in the low-mid 60s through Friday. With lower humidity definitely delightful with a taste of fall in the air.
