Friday's forecast: Cool temps after storms
Another soggy day is in store Friday for most of the Southwest and Rockies. Heavy rain and thunderstorms could again trigger more flash floods in Colorado. The Southeast and Florida will also see scattered showers and storms, but not as intense as in the West.
Elsewhere, most of the Northeast and Midwest will enjoy a cooler, drier day after a week of hot, humid weather. The West coast will also be dry, but on the hot side.
