Mostly sunny and beautiful weather this Saturday in Philadelphia region on Labor Day weekend
The Philadelphia region's weather will be dry, sunny and comfortable this holiday weekend. Lucky us!
Mornings will be crisp and fall-like in the 40s and 50s, while daytime highs will range from the mid-70s today to the low 80s on Monday.
At the Jersey Shore, we'll have highs in the mid-70s with sunshine through the weekend.
Meteorological fall begins on Monday, and an autumn feel will be with us through next week. Astronomical fall begins in just over three weeks on Monday, Sept. 22, at 2:19 p.m.
Sunshine will remain through Tuesday, with high clouds drifting into the region by Wednesday. Temperatures will continue slightly below average in the low 80s during the day and 40s-50s at night.
The next chance of rain or a thunderstorm is Thursday. Unfortunately, that is the home opener for the Eagles at the Linc. It's still five days away, and the forecast timing may change a bit, so stay tuned.
The cooler-than-average conditions we've been experiencing over the past several weeks will continue through next week, with much of the nation feeling rather fall-like.
The only true warmth will be in the southwest and along the west coast, but that pattern will change for the three fall months ahead with NOAA's Climate Prediction Center seasonal outlook pointing to above-average temperatures for much of the nation, including Philadelphia.
Of course, that "above average" outlook is an average of the three fall months, which means we will still have cooler than normal stretches, along with some much warmer than normal stretches.
