After a surge of warmth, storms will ease heat and humidity levels across the Great Lakes and northeastern United States prior to the middle of the week.
An advancing cool front is expected to truncate the resurgence of warmth and humidity. Thunderstorms will erupt along the front.

A few storms could become locally severe across portions of Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, as well as eastern Kentucky and southern portions of West Virginia and New Jersey into Tuesday evening.
Cooler, drier air will spill southeastward in the wake of these storms.
Locations across the northern tier will feel the brunt of the cooling from this system.

"Areas from Michigan eastward to New York and New England will experience the most noticeable drop in temperatures," according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Matt Rinde.
Highs in the upper 80s and low 90s to start the workweek were be replaced with highs in the upper 70s and low 80s on Tuesday. Further cooling may take place on Wednesday.
Humidity levels will lower.
"These drier conditions will make it much more pleasant to get outdoor work done," Rinde said.

While temperatures will not drop as drastically across the northeastern I-95 corridor, much drier air will reach the Eastern Seaboard by Wednesday.
Lower humidity levels will keep AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures within a few degrees of the actual high.
Wednesday will offer a great opportunity to get outdoors as dry weather is expected to prevail for most of the region. Spotty showers could dampen part of the day in New England.
The threat for drenching rain and severe thunderstorms will return to parts of the Midwest on Wednesday and a portion of the Northeast on Thursday.
