6-Day forecast for the Philadelphia, PA metro region
Today
Mainly cloudy, not quite as warm as yesterday, breezy, humid, occasional showers and a possible strong thunderstorm, some of the rain can be heavy, highs in the low-to-mid 80’s
Tonight
Becoming partly cloudy, mild, lows in the lower 60’s
Friday
Mainly sunny, warm, lower 80’s for afternoon highs
Friday Night
Mainly clear, mild, near 60 degrees for late night lows
Saturday
Increasing clouds, comfortable temperatures, cannot rule out a couple of afternoon and evening showers, mid-to-upper 70’s
Sunday
Considerable clouds, still comfortable, chance of showers and thunderstorms, low-to-mid 70’s
Monday
Considerable clouds, still on the cool side of normal for this time of year, chance of showers and thunderstorms, low-to-mid 70’s
Tuesday
Considerable clouds, still cooler-than-normal, chance of showers and thunderstorms, mid 70’s
Discussion
A slow-moving cool front will bring us occasional showers today and there can be a strong thunderstorm mixed in as well. A cooler-than-normal air mass will push into the region early this weekend resulting in comfortable temperatures for the weekend and the first half of next week. The atmosphere will become increasingly unsettled, however, with the combination of cool air aloft and a slow-moving upper-level trough moving in overhead. Showers cannot be ruled out later Saturday and there is a likelihood for showers on Sunday, Monday and perhaps Tuesday as well.
