Muggy and stormy pattern lasts through Friday

Scattered showers and storms stay in the forecast Thursday night, lasting through Friday afternoon. Widespread severe weather is unlikely but a few storms could be strong with gusty wind and heavy rain.

Steamy conditions last through Friday, until a cold front sweeps through late afternoon. Scattered showers and storms also stay in the forecast until the frontal passage. The humidity drops for some temporary relief this weekend, sunny with highs near 80. The humidity returns next week as the mid-September warmth continues.
