Discussion
A stalled-out frontal system has turned around and pushed northward through the region as a warm front paving the way for a hot and humid afternoon and high temperatures in the lower 90’s. A cold front approaches the area late today and crosses by early Friday and its passage will usher in much more comfortable conditions with lower humidity for tomorrow, tomorrow night, and much of the day on Saturday. The humidity does build back up again on Saturday night and Sunday and the chance of showers and thunderstorms will also make a return. Another cold front is likely to cross the region by Sunday night paving the way for a dry and comfortably warm start to next week.
