That's because rounds of severe, isolated storms with fierce winds toppled trees, tree limbs and utility lines, causing tens of thousands of power outages throughout the region on Sunday, June 30.
The storms were triggered by a cold front that has brought about a big change in the weather pattern as we head toward the long July 4th weekend.
Monday, July 1 will be sunny and much less humid with a high temperature in the low 80s. (For projected high temperatures throughout the region, see first image above.)
