Philadelphia region could eclipse 90 degrees Wednesday amid summer-like stretch. Here's the weather forecast.
As The Merrymen once sang, it's feeling "Hot, Hot, Hot!" Yes, time to form the Conga Line. Temperatures are going to be summer-like the next several days in the Philadelphia region, so ditch the coat and replace your wardrobe with shorts, T-shirts and flip flops.
If your air conditioner hasn't kicked on yet, it will likely do so over the next few days, so be ready to make sure it's operational. You may want to check those filters as well.
A few evening thunderstorms in the Poconos are not out of the question, but widespread rain is not expected.
We're chasing a new record high temp on Wednesday. We're forecasting a high of 91 degrees in the city and the old record of 88 degrees was set in 1941.
NEXT big weather changes
All this week our highs will be in the 80s, and likely a few record highs in the 90s mid-week.
We could tie or break temperature records again on Thursday, as the high of 92 degrees in the city looks to break the record of 90 degrees set in 2002.
Along the Jersey Shore, expect cooler conditions due to the south winds crossing the much cooler ocean water adjacent to shore.
The week will mainly be dry with isolated chances for a shower or storm as the heat builds during the week. Wednesday and Thursday are mostly sunny with the off-chance of a thunderstorm to the north after dark Wednesday night and near the city Thursday night.
The heat begins to break down Friday night, which could also bring a storm. We'll keep you updated if anything develops.
The heat will linger into the weekend with our next big change coming on Sunday with a cold front bringing showers and MUCH cooler temps, especially into next Monday!
In fact, it's possible we'll have frost advisories by next Tuesday morning, so get ready to change your tune to Foreigner's "Cold as Ice."
