Warmer Friday morning weather before rain chances in Philadelphia area on Saturday
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Friday morning starts off noticeably warmer than the chill we've been experiencing overnight this week. While it's not hot, temperatures are a lot more seasonable to close out the week.
We're also feeling a slight uptick in humidity, but temperatures will still be near or slightly cooler than normal with highs in the low 80s through Friday.
With a front approaching from the west and a new storm developing over the Atlantic, we are in a bit of a squeeze play Friday, which means the morning will feature more cloud cover and a possible sprinkle followed by more sun likely in the afternoon.
The vast majority of us should stay mainly dry, though we can't rule out another pop-up shower at night.
Saturday is when the cold front from the west swings through, bringing an increase in clouds and humidity in the morning followed by a broken line of showers mid-afternoon.
The line looks to come through around 1 p.m. with the heaviest rain falling in the Poconos. We can't rule out a shower or two around our area from about 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
As of now, it's not looking all that wet, but will likely be gray and unsettled through much of the day with scattered shower chances.
If the front clears quickly enough, we may get some sun back with a crisp breeze on Saturday evening.
Temps will top out in the mid-upper 70s on Saturday with mid-70s and clear skies on Sunday as a reinforcing shot of cool, dry air arrives into the first part of next week.
The NEXT Weather team will keep you posted on the weekend changes but for now, be sure to enjoy yet another beautiful early September day!
