Sunny Friday in Philadelphia region kicks off beautiful weekend. Here's the weather forecast.
Friday will be another day to enjoy in the Philadelphia region. No umbrella needed, only sunscreen.
A crisp and cool start to the morning with lows in the 50s, but with tons of sunshine we'll warm up to near 80 this afternoon and it won't be quite as windy.
Humidity-free air, along with sun and comfortable temps, making this a plan-something-outside type of day. Friday night will be a perfect time to fire up the grill, get together with friends, or perhaps have a backyard campout with the kids.
NEXT Weather changes
We're now in a fairly quiet weather pattern with no significant changes in the foreseeable future — a nice change indeed.
The next shower chance has been pushed to Tuesday, and even though it's only about a 40% chance. Great for living, not good for the water table.
The wind picks up Saturday as a push of cooler air arrives — it's still a bright and sunny Saturday, but temperatures are only near 70 for the high with gusts as high as 30 mph.
On that note, the weekly drought monitor came out Thursday, and after the past weekend's rain, there has been a little improvement.
Parts of Delaware and Chester County in Pennsylvania, along with northern Delaware, have moved out of the severe category and back into moderate drought. Everywhere else has remained the same, with mainly severe drought in our region.
