Chance of showers Friday afternoon in Philadelphia region ahead of beautiful weekend
Happy Friday! We will have a few more clouds today as a weak weather system passes by, bringing an occasional shower or two during the afternoon and evening in the Philadelphia region.
Highs should still top out in the mid-upper 70s, despite any cloud cover. Then, we set the stage for a beautiful sunny and warm fall weekend with one or two spots possibly hitting 80 degrees on Saturday.
It will be absolutely gorgeous for the Phillies games on Saturday and Sunday. Our NEXT Weather maker arrives late Sunday night into Monday morning with another round of rain showers, possibly making your Monday morning commute just a touch slower but those shower chances end by mid-morning on Monday.
Turning to the tropics, Kirk is now another major hurricane in the Atlantic, with wind speeds at 145 mph, making it a Category 4 storm. As of now, it looks to stay over open water and move to the north, as will our next tropical system, Leslie.
Leslie is also forecast to become a major hurricane, but like Kirk, poses little to no landfall threat at this point.
As always, the NEXT Weather Team will keep you and your family ahead of the storm and alert you to any potential impacts.
