A slow moving cold front will move into our area on Wednesday giving our area a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures will be a little lower but the humidity will stay high.
The front will stay in our area Thursday and Friday with showers and thunderstorms likely with some heavy rain possible. Temperatures will be lower again but the humidity will stay high.
