A cold front will swing through the region today bringing scattered afternoon and evening storms. Most storms will stay below severe limits, but a few could produce gusty winds and heavy downpours — generally south and east of I-85. By this evening, the front will stall south of the area, allowing drier air to surge in Wednesday. The noticeable humidity drop will be a nice change for Wednesday with highs in the mid to upper 80s under sunny skies. Humidity will build back in by Thursday as the stalled boundary lifts north, setting up a stretch of scattered storms each afternoon. Weak steering means slow moving cells, so localized flooding could become a concern. Highs will top out near 90, but with the humidity it will feel more like the mid 90s through the weekend.
