Then it turns cooler and completely dry behind a front to end the week on Friday. Highs will only reach the lower 80s ahead of the region reaching 70s this weekend through early next week. Overnight lows will return to the 50s as humidity remains on the lower side. 

We’re still expecting as much as an inch or more of rain through Thursday. But June looks to be cooler and drier for the region.
