COLUMBUS, Ga (WRBL)-We’ll wrap up the work week warm and muggy with high temperatures reaching the middle to upper 80s. I can’t rule out a few pop-up showers and storms this afternoon but the best chance looks to be around sunset. In addition to a few showers and storms popping up around sunset, we will also have to monitor a complex of rain and thunderstorms moving out of eastern Mississippi into Alabama. If this complex can hold together, it would arrive overnight into early Saturday morning.
