Pennsylvania – A warm, slightly humid breeze is already setting the stage across Philadelphia, but scattered showers and a few thunderstorms could interrupt plans by mid-afternoon, especially during the evening commute.
According to the National Weather Service, isolated showers increase after 2 p.m. with a 30% chance of rain and possible thunderstorms. While most areas stay under a tenth of an inch, brief heavier bursts could reduce visibility and create slick conditions on I-95, I-76, and the Schuylkill Expressway.
Philadelphia climbs to around 82°F today, offering a summer-like feel before a gradual shift begins. Skies stay partly sunny into Saturday with a high near 76°F, but clouds increase Saturday night as the next system approaches.
Conditions change quickly Sunday. Rain becomes more widespread after the morning hours, with precipitation chances jumping to 80% and highs dropping sharply to near 60°F. Periods of steady rain could bring up to a quarter inch in spots, leading to ponding on roads and slower travel across the metro area.
If you’re heading out Sunday, plan extra time and expect wet pavement throughout the day. Keep devices charged and monitor for any updated advisories.
Drier air returns Monday with sunshine and a high near 53°F, followed by a cold night dipping into the 30s. That setup could create isolated slick spots early Tuesday where moisture lingers.
Five Day Outlook for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:
