Cooler Summer Weekend Brings Lower Humidity Across Multiple US Regions

A cold front has brought the coolest weather of the summer to parts of Tennessee, with highs in the low 80s and lows dropping into the mid to upper 60s, marking the first time in weeks temperatures have fallen below 70°F. This cooler, drier air mass is expected to persist through the weekend, providing a mild and pleasant end to the summer with mostly sunny skies and lower humidity. Similarly, parts of Virginia will experience cooler temperatures in the 70s with a mix of sun and clouds and lower humidity, although isolated showers remain possible. In contrast, Colorado's Western Slope is experiencing scattered rain with thunder, but will see warming conditions and a Red Flag Warning due to gusty winds, with highs rising back into the mid to upper 90s by the weekend. Overall, much of the eastern U.S. is transitioning to more comfortable late summer weather, while the western U.S. faces a return to hotter, drier conditions.
