A front will kick the humidity out of here by mid-morning Thursday, making it feel much more refreshing. The temperatures will still run on the warm side into the weekend, but without the muggy feeling tagging along. We have a few low rain chances into the weekend, but Monday’s First Warn jumps out as our best shot for rain.

Looking ahead to the weekend.
