The stormy weather comes with some good news: In the wake of a cold front Thursday, it will be less humid, and storms will be far less likely. Temperatures will still get to around 90 degrees, but without the humidity, it will be a nice summer day.
Another cold front on Friday could lower the humidity level even further.
