Cooler weather for portions of the Eastern U.S on Saturday; Southwest stays hot

• As the storm system that brought much of the country rain this week moves into Canada; cooler air will dive into portions of the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Temperatures in these areas will be 5 to 15 degrees below normal. However, this shot of cooler air will not help the Southwest. Temperatures there will remain 5 to 15 degrees above normal with many locations exceeding 100 degrees.
Today: Mostly sunny. A 20 percent chance of rain showers and thunder
