Severe Thunderstorms, Localized Flooding Possible Into Thursday

BOSTON (CBS) -- A stormy midweek forecast is in the works as tropical humidity makes a return visit to New England for a two-day stint.

Here's a breakdown of timing and what to expect!

Thursday:

Looks like a stormy morning as the overnight action continues to push through, and then we will get a break. The actual cold front will still be well to the west on Thursday, so with leftover heat and humidity, it's likely that some more scattered thunderstorms will pop up in the afternoon, though the overall severe threat will be a little lower than the previous 24 hours. Highs again will be up into the 80s with high humidity.

Friday:

Relief! The cold front blasts through early Friday morning, and behind it is sharply drier air. Dewpoints will fall from around 70 to near 50 on a fresh westerly breeze. It will start to feel much more comfortable, even with highs 80-85. This will set the stage for an extremely comfortable weekend with dry air, bright skies, and seasonable temperatures.
