Rain for the Broad Street Run looking likely in Philadelphia as high temp reaches 80s Thursday
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Enjoy another warm, summerlike day while it lasts, because a big cooldown is coming.
Temperatures have climbed back into the 80s for Thursday, with highs near 88 degrees in Philadelphia. By noon it'll already feel like 78, and we can expect a little more humidity today.
A bit of patchy fog is possible in the morning around daybreak, but overall it'll be a mostly clear and sunny day.
Things take a turn on Friday when a backdoor front ushers in a cooler east wind. We'll still see a mix of sun and some clouds, but highs drop back to barely 70 degrees. Friday's forecast is much more typical for early May.
Weekend spoiler
After that, a slow-moving cold front means even cloudier conditions for the weekend. Highs won't make it out of the 60s on Saturday, and spotty showers will have moved in by the afternoon.
