"It's a combination of a tropical wave interacting with a sea breeze front," meteorologist Cindy Preszler said, adding that the storms were moving slowly.

The high temperature topped out at 96 degrees before the rain-cooled air brought more comfortable weather to the region.

The National Weather Service canceled its heat advisory after the moisture advanced through the region.

Tuesday was the 41st day that the region was under either a Heat Advisory or Excessive Heat Warning this summer.
