Beautiful weather for Eagles-Rams game in Philadelphia on Sunday. Unsettling patterns return this week.
Our last day of summer will be pleasant and peaceful. Clouds will give way to sunshine as the day unfolds, and highs will be in the mid-70s with light east winds.
Sunday night is a taste of the crisp fall evenings ahead. Skies will clear and temperatures will drop to the 50s in the city and upper 40s farther north and west.
Fall officially arrives at 2:19 p.m. on Monday, but it won't feel very fall-like. After a cool start in the 50s, we warm quickly to near 80. Skies will be mostly sunny, and winds will be light from the south.
On Tuesday, the first full day of fall, summer-like conditions return with highs in the mid-80s and a chance of showers or storms in the evening.
The unsettled trend will continue for the remainder of the week with a chance of showers from Wednesday through Saturday. No washouts are expected, but it's best to keep the umbrella nearby.
We are nearly 2 inches below average for rainfall this month, so we do need the rain, but any showers this week will be minimal, and our abnormally dry conditions will continue to spread.
For all you leaf peepers, this may be a beautiful weekend outdoors, but the bright fall foliage in southeastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware is currently nonexistent.
Give it another two weeks, and by early October, the leaves should be changing in the Poconos. Several weeks after that, the Lehigh Valley and areas west of the city will begin changing. In late October, the vibrant colors will pop up around the city
