Discussion
A much more refreshing air mass will arrive here on Friday and it'll stay around all weekend with comfortable temperatures and humidity levels. The transition to the below-normal temperatures will come with more rain later today and especially tonight and some of it can be heavy at times. As the cold front grinds its way through the region on Friday, there still can be a few showers or storms around early in the day, but some sun is likely later tomorrow and refreshingly cool conditions will be felt tomorrow night. The weekend will feature sunshine on both days to go along with the comfortable temperatures and humidity values, but a shower or two cannot be ruled out.
