Some rain Friday in Philadelphia region ahead of perfect Father's Day weekend. Here's the weather forecast.

A few showers are likely during the morning hours Friday in the Philadelphia region, especially in areas to the south like South Jersey and Delaware. The farther north you go, the more quickly you'll see the sun.

Depending on your location and your schedule today, you may want an umbrella, but after the morning you will not need it for the rest of the day.

In fact, by the afternoon and into the weekend, the weather conditions look very nice, so make your outdoor plans.

In the city, clouds should break between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m., and it'll be a gorgeous afternoon and evening for fans at Lemon Hill watching the U.S. Men's National Team, and then lovely with low humidity for the Brazil-Haiti match this evening in the city.   

NEXT big weather changes

How about a perfect weekend for dad? Both days will be mostly sunny and seasonably warm in the upper 80s with low humidity levels.

Normal high this time of year is in the mid-80s, and that's roughly where we'll be both days, along with morning temps in the 60s (even a few 50s in spots).

Summer finally begins on Father's Day at 4:24 a.m.

By Monday, the area will likely see the return of rain, storms and humidity as another weather maker approaches from the west. Severe weather looks unlikely at this point, but we will monitor over the weekend.

Speaking of rain, boy do we need it!  A new drought monitor was released on Thursday and 20% of our area is now officially in SEVERE drought. That's a 4 out of 5 on the scale. Our 2026 precipitation deficit is more than 5.50 inches below zero and getting worse.
