A warm front will lift north through the state during the day followed by a strong cold front later in the evening and overnight. Showers and thunderstorms will be developing throughout the state during the day, becoming more widespread in the afternoon and evening. Some of these storms will be capable of causing damaging winds, hail, and even a few tornadoes. Highs will be in the upper 70s to upper 80s. The storms will weaken as we lose heating of the day, but may take until midnight to die away while moving to the south. The cold front will clear out the humidity from the north by morning. Lows will be in the mid 50s in the northern mountains, but still 65 to 70 degrees south of the Turnpike. Sunday will be cooler and rain-free. Highs will be in the lower 70s to mid 80s with refreshingly lower humidity. While some smoke from the fires to our west will probably slide back into the state, the smoke is not expected to be as dense as it has been the last couple days. $$
