A sharp cold front will push through New England throughout the day today. Ahead of the front will be a hot, humid summery day. Behind this cold front, where the front will pass in the morning, will see much cooler temperatures today with lowering humidity. The cold front may trigger a passing shower or storm, but, for the most part, this will end up being a dry frontal passage.
