TAMPA, Fla. - Lower heat and humidity are on the way, providing some relief for Bay Area residents, especially those still cleaning up from Hurricane Milton or dealing with power outages.

FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills says the front, which is just to the north of the Bay Area, would normally bring some showers and storms, but this is going to be a dry system as it drops south across the state.

There will be some clouds on Wednesday morning as the front moves through, but the showers will stay out in the Atlantic or over the Gulf.
