A cold front sweeping across the eastern half of the country will bring some much-needed relief to parts of the Southeast and mid-Atlantic after days of temperatures above 90 degrees.

There’s a higher probability of severe weather across the Delmarva Peninsula, Washington, Philadelphia and eastern Virginia.
