Discussion
The work week will close out with more uncomfortable heat and humidity in the Philly metro region, but there is genuine relief in sight. Temperatures today will climb to the low 90’s and the humidity will make it feel even worse, but the weekend will likely feature the upper 80's for daily highs. There can be scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening and any storm that forms can be on the strong side. As a front stalls out nearby this weekend, our chances of showers and thunderstorms will tend to increase and some of the storms this weekend can be on the strong side. On Monday, a cold front will approach from the west and showers and thunderstorms are quite likely and some of these storms can be on the strong side as well. Following this early week frontal passage, genuine relief will push into the area for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
