 Meanwhile, the rest of the central and northern plains into the Great Lakes and much of the northeast will be experiencing much more comfortable weather and a largely dry day with lower humidity and a decent amount of sunshine. After some recently steamy days, today will only be in the 70s and 80s. Farther west in the Intermountain region will once again have some showers and thunderstorms forming over higher elevations. The activity will be spotty, but it will also cover a large area from the southwest northward to the Rockies.
