NEXT Weather: Temperatures nearing the 80s, tracking Saturday rain
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The pollen is back again Thursday.
Tree pollen is in the extreme range today - with weed, mold and grass allergens also at high levels. There's a little bit of everything floating through the air.
Let's talk temperatures. High pressure continues to keep the air around the region very dry and warm. We're expecting to be in the upper 70s Thursday.
Points at the Jersey Shore will be 10-15 degrees cooler thanks to a breeze off the ocean. But around the region, we're expecting a lot of sunshine today.
An elevated fire danger continues to exist through Friday. More Red Flag Warnings may be issued.
Warm Friday, storms on Saturday
We'll be in the mid to upper-80s Friday.
Friday's record is 89 set in 1976.
Saturday evening a storm system approaches from the west. The latest models deliver heavier rain and a few gusty to strong storms early to mid-evening Saturday.
We will be keeping an eye on those storms as they develop, but showers should end early Sunday.
Then, temperatures drop to the low and mid-60s and it will be dry through much of next week.
If you're not of fan of these temperatures in the 80s, our outlook for the rest of April shows it should be cooler than average.
