Look out for possibly some rain and mugginess this weekend in DeKalb County, along with a slightly nicer start to next week.

Channel 2 Action News forecasters are calling for a 30 percent chance of rain Saturday and a 60 percent chance on Sunday. That falls to only a 10 percent chance by Monday, the station says.

Temperatures should be in the 80s.

There’s plenty to do this weekend, weather willing.

There's the Candler Park Music and Food Festival, a songwriter event, a cured meat class and more. Read about all that here.

Also: pools.
