Nice and sunny Sunday in Philadelphia area before heat starts to build. Here's the weather forecast.
After a Saturday filled with severe weather and four microbursts in Philadelphia, we're clearing out and cleaning up.
Since rain fell across much of the area on Saturday, expect some patchy fog to reduce visibility overnight into Sunday. This will last into the early morning hours.
Grab the sunglasses on Sunday. It will be a much nicer day with sunny skies, lower humidity, and highs in the mid and upper 80s. A light northeast breeze will help make things feel more comfortable — it's a dry wind!
NEXT big change
The fifth heat wave of the year arrives Tuesday, just in time for the All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park.
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 the 90s Tuesday through Friday, with highs topping out at 100 on Wednesday.
Humidity will also be on the rise, and at times the feels-like temperature will exceed 100 degrees.
A NEXT Weather Alert has been issued for Wednesday's heat. Due to the heat and humidity, isolated pop-up storms are possible each day.
By late Friday and Saturday, a powerful cold front will arrive, triggering strong to severe storms.
A level 2 of 5 severe storm risk has been highlighted by the SPC for areas south of the city. We've also issued a NEXT Weather Alert for Friday due to the potential for severe storms.
Following the front, a cooler, more comfortable air mass arrives by next Sunday.
