Beautiful Monday for Home Run Derby in Philadelphia before heat wave begins. Here's the weather forecast.
A home run of a forecast as we lead up to tonight's derby at Citizens Bank Park! We'll have seasonably warm temperatures in the mid to upper 80s with sunshine and seasonable humidity levels. Perfect for outdoor activities and storm cleanup.
NEXT big change
Heat wave No. 5 arrives Tuesday, just in time for the All-Star Game in South Philly.
A dome of dangerous heat is building across the western U.S. with highs in Montana near 110 degrees Sunday! That heat shifts east by Tuesday.
Expect 90s Tuesday through Friday with highs topping out around 100 on Wednesday. Humidity will also increase, and at times, the feels-like temperature will exceed 100 degrees.
A NEXT Weather Alert is in effect for Wednesday's heat. We could experience dangerous heat index values in the 105-110 range.
Due to the heat and humidity isolated pop-up storms are possible each day.
A strong cold front will approach by the weekend and will likely set off some strong storms as the heat breaks down. We'll monitor this timeframe for a possible NEXT Weather Alert for severe storms.
Following the front, a cooler and more comfortable air mass arrives by next Sunday.
Here's your 7-day forecast:
