High temperatures will get into the 80s as far north as southern New England, and temperatures into the 70s will reach north to the Canadian border on Thursday.
However, the same storm system that brought tornadoes, damaging winds and large hail across the South, Midwest and Plains will reach the Interstate 95 corridor by Thursday afternoon.
While storms aren't expected to be as powerful as they were over the past several days, some could pack a punch.
The National Weather Service says severe thunderstorms are likely from the Philadelphia metro area and southeastern Pennsylvania into New Jersey, the New York City tri-state area and southern New England.
Once those storms move through, that will allow for the cooler air to move in from behind the system.
