Paul Dorian
6-Day forecast for the Philadelphia, PA metro region
Today
Partly sunny, very warm and humid, windy, chance of mid-day and afternoon showers and thunderstorms, some of the storms later today can be strong and some of the rain can be heavy, highs in the low-to-mid 90’s; SW winds around 10-20 mph
Tonight
Evening showers and thunderstorms are possible, some of the storms can be strong and some of the rain can be heavy, becoming partly cloudy after midnight with some patchy fog possible balmy, muggy, lows in the low-to-mid 70’s
Friday
Mainly sunny, hot, humid, cannot rule out a late day shower or thunderstorm, mid-to-upper 90’s
Friday Night
An evening shower or thunderstorm is possible; otherwise, partly cloudy, balmy, muggy, mid 70’s for late night lows
Saturday
Partly sunny, still very warm, humid, breezy, chance of showers and thunderstorms, lower 90’s
Sunday
Big-time relief with much more comfortable conditions and mostly sunny skies, lower 80’s
Monday
Mainly sunny, nice, lower 80’s
Tuesday
Mainly sunny, still comfortable, lower 80’s
Discussion
The next two days will feature high heat and humidity in the Philly metro region with high temperatures up in the 90’s and dew points in the 70’s. The active weather pattern of late will continue as well over the next few days with the threat of heavy showers and strong thunderstorms later today and again on Saturday. The culprit today will be yet another wave of energy dropping southeast across the Great Lakes and the Saturday threat comes ahead of an incoming strong cool front. The passage of the cool front on Saturday night will bring us significant relief in the heat and humidity for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
