Cooler, more enjoyable air filters in behind recent cold front

Forecast-wise, there's plenty to be happy about. One, after being placed under three severe thunderstorm watches over a 24 hour period, severe potential steers away from the region the next few days. And two, our most recent frontal passage spells cooler and less humid times moving forward.

Those changes however haven't fully settled in just yet as the cloud cover in place this morning will make for another warm start to the day.

By this afternoon, skies will turn partly cloudy, humidity levels drop, and high temperatures will trend cooler in the low 80s. High pressure sliding into the western Great Lakes will make for a mostly clear night, with temperatures ending up seasonably cool in the upper 50s by daybreak. These changes will really make their presence known Thursday as the air will feel much more comfortable. Highs take a step back as well, landing in the upper 70s.

Moisture pooling in behind a warm front will bring the likelihood for a soggy end to the work week. Of course, with Friday's wet forecast comes the potential for a few strong to severe storms. 

Right now, the Storm Prediction Center has the entire region under a level 1 Marginal Risk, with a slightly higher threat focused to our southwest. Chances will then linger into the early stages of Saturday as the associated cold front slides through.
