Mostly sunny, pleasant weather in the Philadelphia area this Sunday of Labor Day weekend
What a fantastic end to our meteorological summer!
Expect sunny skies with a few high clouds on Sunday. The air will be dry, with temperatures just below average in the upper 70s to 80. Winds will be light from the northeast.
Meteorological fall may begin on Monday, but astronomical fall begins three weeks later on Sept. 22 at 2:19 p.m.
Daytime highs this week will run slightly below our average of 83-84 degrees with overnight lows in the 50s and 60s.
Sunshine will remain through Tuesday, with high clouds drifting into the region by Wednesday.
The next chance of showers or a thunderstorm is Thursday. Unfortunately, that is the home opener for the Eagles at the Linc. It's still four days away, and the forecast timing may change a bit, so stay tuned if you are headed to the game or any outdoor events that evening.
You may recall the extreme drought that gripped our region last fall. So far, we only have a few abnormally dry areas as we approach fall. Some steady rain would be helpful to prevent widespread drought conditions from developing. Since June 1, we have only received 8.54 inches of rain, which is 4.04 inches below our average of 12.58.
