PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The muggy air and unsettled weather pattern kicks up a bit on Wednesday with mostly cloudy skies, temperatures in the 80s and off-and-on showers and storms.  

While we are not expecting anything widespread, we will have slow-moving areas of heavy rain, so localized flooding may affect some areas.

That pattern continues again on Thursday with a greater chance for storms during the evening as a front pushes through, adding extra energy for Mother Nature to work with.   

The benefit will follow on Friday and the weekend when plenty of sunshine blankets the area and humidity levels will be fairly low for this time of year.  

Plan your outdoor weekend activities! By Sunday we may get back into the 90-degree range, with another heat wave expected into early next week.
