Philly and DC have not seen 90 degrees yet this month, but that is about to change in a big way. It’ll turn very warm on Thursday and Friday and 90 degree highs are certainly on the table, but the real heat comes next week. In fact, there is a chance for an extended period of 90+ degrees beginning next Monday which will follow what should be a pretty decent Father’s Day weekend. The nice weekend weather will be set up by the passage of a cool front on Friday night that can spark some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity.

The main area of concern for severe weather and tornadoes over the next few days will be across the Plains states all the way from Texas (today/tonight/tomorrow) to the Dakotas/Minnesota (on Sunday).
