An end to the heat wave is coming to the Northeast and Midwest this weekend.

The atmospheric heat pump will continue to run at full steam this week. However, folks suffering in urban areas or with limited means to keep cool will catch a break.

Actual high temperatures in most areas will continue to be in the 90s through Friday. AccuWeather.com RealFeel® temperatures will be 10 to 20 degrees higher.

Changes taking place this weekend will end the extreme heat. The pattern change should also take an edge off the humidity for a couple of days.



The high pressure system responsible for driving the heat will shift westward, allowing a cool front to make progress to the east and south.

Within a day or two of the frontal passage, thunderstorms will become more widespread with the likelihood of severe weather in some locations.
