\u201cA cold front will move through late in the morning or early afternoon just ahead of the Canada game on Friday. An isolated shower or thunderstorm is likely followed by a shift in wind, ushering in drier and less humid weather by mid-afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Farnell said humid temperatures could reach 37 C on Thursday, but the humidity will drop, temperatures should hit roughly 27 C, and the rain should end before the game kicks off on Friday.<\/p>\n
