Warm and humid weather in Philadelphia Wednesday, tracking chance of severe storms tomorrow

The Delaware Valley will see mixed skies and some more humidity Wednesday, with highs in the mid-to-low 80s. A scattered shower is possible.

A NEXT Weather Alert in effect for Thursday, but we're not expecting a huge breakout of severe weather.

NEXT big weather changes

On Thursday, another system approaches and has prompted us to issue a NEXT Weather Alert as a front inches its way across the region throughout the afternoon.

A few strong-to-severe storms may fire up, bringing with them heavy rain, gusty winds and some small hail. The tornado threat right now looks low, but we'll continue to monitor.

Currently, the severe storm threat is a 2 out of 5, meaning scattered severe storms are possible.

After that, we'll see lingering showers Friday. Otherwise, the weekend is shaping up to be beautiful. Great for the World Cup match on Friday as well as Father's Day on Sunday.

Speaking of Sunday, summer officially begins on Sunday, June 21, at 4:24 a.m., even though we've already had three heat waves.
