NEXT Weather: Warm and humid weekend with a shower or storm

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – This third weekend of August will feel more summer-like with heat, humidity and a chance of showers. In Philadelphia on Saturday, a disturbance to the south will deliver a mix of sun and clouds.

On Sunday, it will feel muggier and it will be cloudier. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible, mainly in the afternoon. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s
