The cloud cover will continue to breakup throughout the evening and into the early morning to start Friday on the dry side.

The Friday is expected to remain dry and there will be a little breeze throughout the day.

The forecast high is 66, and pollen is up.

The count increased from 265 particles per cubic meter of air Wednesday to 631 Thursday, according to Atlanta Allergy and Asthma.
