Sunny Memorial Day in Philadelphia, tracking mid-week rain. See the full weather forecast.
Despite somewhat of a cool start to Memorial Day plenty of sunshine will warm temperature into the middle 70s across most of the region this afternoon. Conditions right along the shore, however, will remain a little cooler with highs in the mid-upper 60s despite mostly sunny conditions.
The area of high pressure centered over the Great Lakes responsible for today's beautiful weather will begin to shift to the east tonight which will allow cloud cover to increase tonight and through the day Tuesday. Despite skies becoming mostly cloudy Tuesday afternoon temperatures will still peak in the mid-upper 70s.
That stubborn upper-level low that kept us soggy all week is finally moving out of New England, so our weather will keep improving right through Memorial Day evening. As we take time to remember those who gave everything for our country, we should be looking at nice skies and near-average temperatures.
Clouds increase late Monday as the next storm system brushes by to our south, bringing a few showers to Delaware and parts of South Jersey. Tuesday stays warm with highs in the upper 70s, but skies turn mostly cloudy. Then get ready for a stretch of wet weather — rain moves in Wednesday and lingers through the end of the week. Temps drop to the mid-60s Wednesday but rebound into the upper 70s by Friday.
Friday could give us a break from any major rain, before showers return for the first half of the upcoming weekend.
