Summer-like temperatures Tuesday in Philadelphia area, tracking rain later this week. Here's the weather forecast.
Wow! What a stretch of amazing weather we've had in the Philadelphia area for the better part of the last two weeks.
On Tuesday (and Wednesday), we'll head back into the low 80s under mostly sunny skies here in the Delaware Valley.
Clouds will increase, however, as we head into the evening hours a strong weather system approaches. Fortunately, it looks like the storm activity will die down significantly by the time it gets here, and only a few stray showers are expected across a majority of the region.
The exception will be areas far to the north, most notably the Poconos, where a lone storm or two may become strong around the early evening.
The week is shaping up to be fairly quiet until we get to Friday and Saturday, as another cold front approaches. Plan on showers and storms Friday, and perhaps a decent part of the day Saturday as that weather system crosses the region.
Sunday is looking sunny, dry, cooler and breezy. Not too bad for the first weekend in May.
Here's your 7-day forecast:
Tuesday: Warm, breezy. High of 83, low of 52.
Wednesday: Some sun. High of 82, low of 67.
