Summer ends on a high note in terms of sizzling temperatures and rising humidity, but this heat could also be the perfect fuel for strong to severe thunderstorms as a cold front crosses the region Friday afternoon and evening. We're closely watching the potential for tornadic development for some regions as well as widespread damaging winds, which have prompted warnings for gusts close to 100 km/h.
