After showers and thunderstorms on Thursday as a cold front pushed through, cooler, less humid air moves in for Friday and Saturday under high pressure. Heat and humidity return briefly Sunday before another front brings showers and storms late Sunday into Monday. Early next week trends cooler and drier, with pleasant late-summer weather lasting into midweek. Signs of fall weather are starting to show, and the last throws of summer may be here this week.
