 In the northeast, Wednesday's severe weather gives way to a more comfortable day behind that same cold front, with the relief from recent hot and humid conditions really arriving in earnest tonight, with lower humidity lasting into Friday from the mid-Atlantic through New England. Much of the west coast will be dry today, but a storm track to the north brings showers to the Pacific Northwest. A nicer day can be expected for Friday as more of the west dries out. In Syracuse, New York, a spotty morning shower gives way to a blend of sunshine and clouds with a high of 74.
