Philadelphia Weather: Record-Breaking Heat Expected To Take Over Region Before Temperatures Drop

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - If you are looking forward to fall foliage, pumpkin patches and sweater weather, looks like you're going to have to wait a little longer. It's going to feel a lot like summer on Wednesday as parts of the Delaware Valley are expected to see record-smashing heat!

Temperatures in most of the region are expected to be in the 90s today, with Philadelphia seeing a high of 92 - feeling more like 95. That 92 degrees in Philadelphia would make it a record-breaking temp, topping the old record of 87 degrees in 2002.

And Philadelphia isn't the only one seeing record-breaking temperatures, more than 100 additional weather records could be broken across the U.S. Areas from New York to North Carolina are flirting with 90-degree temperatures.

So while the calendar might say October, it will feel more like July.

Things are expected to cool down as we head into the weekend.
