This will lead to fewer chances of rain and storms at the end of the work week. The best chances look to hug areas along the East Coast. Otherwise, much higher chances of showers and storms will be confined to areas a bit further to our south and east for the end of the work week.

For the weekend, humidity returns, and so will the higher chances of rain and storms. This will be due to an influx of moisture, at levels which are more typical for this time of year. It won't be a complete washout, but scattered rounds of rain and storms could certainly impact plans you have during the afternoon hours for Saturday and Sunday.
