Sunny skies Saturday set up a perfect Father's Day Weekend in Philadelphia area. Here's the weather forecast.
Spring ends and summer begins at 4:24 a.m. Sunday. In the Philadelphia area, both days of this weekend will have fantastic weather for golf, BBQ, fishing, or whatever dad chooses. Skies will be sunny, with low humidity and seasonable mid- to upper 80s.
The only real thing that could have some impact would be the breezy conditions Saturday, with Saturday afternoon gusts 25-30 mph. On Sunday, Father's Day, evening clouds will start rolling in.
Shorts, sandals, sunglasses, and a hat are all you will need.
NEXT big weather changes
The NEXT big change arrives Monday as a weather system moves into the area.
As of now, the rain may start around the morning commute, but the heaviest of the rain is looking to be in the afternoon and evening, having a much larger impact on the evening commute.
Heavy rain, lightning, and the chance of gusty winds are potential impacts, especially if you have any outdoor plans for the France-Iraq World Cup match set to begin at 5 p.m.
We'll need to monitor this closely, as even just rain could have moderate to significant impacts. The chance of severe weather is limited, but we will keep you posted.
On a positive note, we need the rain with drought conditions continuing to worsen.
Most of the area is under a severe drought, although Southern Delaware and parts of South Jersey have increased to an extreme drought.
That's a level 4 out of 5 on the drought scale, and 20% of our area is now under that category, up from 12% last week.
