One more day of spotty storms before it dries out for a couple days

COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - Dry and less humid air returns Friday and most of Saturday suppressing the rainfall and keeping the afternoons very warm.

We’ll have a mix of hazy sun and clouds on this Thursday. The haze coming from some smoke thousands of feet up from those Canadian wildfires. We don’t foresee any air quality issues around here like they’re dealing with up north, but it may enhance the sunrises and sunsets at times the next couple days.
