Discussion
High pressure to our west takes control of the weather today in the Philly metro region and it should result in rain-free conditions through mid-week. It will become quite warm, however, as temperatures climb well up into the 80’s today and to the 90 degree mark on Wednesday, but overall humidity levels will remain fairly comfortable. Later in the week, the humidity will climb to uncomfortable levels once again as a southerly low-level flow of air develops on the backside of high pressure which will shift to the east of here. With the rise in moisture, there will be an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic region both on Thursday and Friday and this renewed threat of rain will continue through the weekend as well.
