Beautiful Tuesday with highs in the 80s for Philadelphia area. Here's the weather forecast.

After a beautiful start to the workweek, we'll see more of the same weather on Tuesday. Bright sunshine will cover the Philadelphia region, followed by just a few clouds in the afternoon. 

Tuesday will be a spectacular late spring day, with highs in the 80s in the city and 70s at the shore.

NEXT big weather change

After a very nice start to the week, the heat and humidity start to increase by the middle of the week.

By Wednesday and Thursday, another system approaches, and a few showers and rumbles may sneak into the area on Wednesday. Thursday is a NEXT WEATHER ALERT day, as the front inches its way through for the afternoon.

Heat will briefly build into the 90s with higher humidity and set up a few strong to severe storms Thursday. These storms could bring heavy rain, gusty winds, and some small hail. The tornado threat right now looks low, but we'll continue to monitor.

Summer officially begins in less than a week on Sunday, June 21, at 4:24 a.m.
