PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Try to enjoy this stretch of beautiful summer weather without hearing the clock ticking on its departure. This is the last day of temperatures in the 80s for awhile.

These temperatures aren't too far off from the record highs.

In the city, the record high is 91 degrees, but we're looking at 86-87 degrees today.   

The Atlantic City airport reached a new record high Thursday , beating the old high temperature of 83 degrees, the National Weather Service in Mount Holly tweeted.

And Wilmington beat its record high, topping out at 88 degrees Thursday.

People were getting out and enjoying the nice weather this week as it felt like summer.

We spotted people out and about virtually everywhere in the Delaware Valley, everyone enjoying a taste of summer, in spring.

This was not a slow build like we usually see this time of the year. It was hot early, and it mostly stayed that way.

It was a good day for workouts at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, dining al fresco and walking in the park.

And crowds flocked to the Jersey Shore well before the season's typical start.

Friday will be another great day.

What's next: when 80s end

Clouds drift in this afternoon, which may limit the temperature slightly, but not by much. It'll still be nice and warm even with those clouds.

Rain showers are looking likely Saturday, with multiple chances throughout the day. We could even see a thundershower. Severe weather is unlikely.

Sunday's chances of rain are lower, but we could see some precipitation in the evening.

Next week, we're trending cooler and looking at more seasonable temperatures.
