It’s fall, y’all.

Cooler temperatures and lower humidity came to the Chattahoochee Valley this week and there’s good news in the future forecast.

“The weather should hold steady for the weekend and coming weeks,” a meteorologist with Peachtree City National Weather Service office told the Ledger-Enquirer Thursday. “There is a possibility of scattered showers, here and there, and humidity is still moderate, but we should transition into fall smoothly.”

As we transition between seasons, here’s the weekend weather update for Columbus and Phenix City residents.
