Slightly less humid in Philadelphia Sunday, remnants of Beryl could bring rain to the region this week
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Saturday's heat was excessive in many spots, with much of the area feeling like the low 100s when you combined the temperature and the humidity.
While Sunday will still be hot and humid, expect he heat index (or feels-like temperatures) to remain below advisory/watch/warning levels.
Sunday will be muggy from the start, with a slightly less humid afternoon in store. With just a slight chance of a pop-up shower or rumble, most areas should remain dry as well. Severe weather is not likely.
Looking ahead into next week, we start off hot and humid with temps in the 90s through Wednesday, then we'll see a slight cool-down with highs in the upper 80s and low 90s by the middle of the week. But with those slightly lower temps comes an increased chance of showers and storms, in part from the remnants of Hurricane Beryl.
In fact, unsettled weather will likely stay with us through at least the start of next weekend, so keep it here, and keep an eye to the sky!
Beryl heads toward Texas
Meanwhile in the tropics, Tropical Storm Beryl is making it's way toward the Gulf Coast of Texas where it is expected to make a second landfall as a Category 1 hurricane late Sunday night and early Monday morning. Heavy rain and flooding are the primary concern.
Remnant rains from Beryl may curve northeast and reach the Delaware Valley during the middle of next week with showers and thunderstorms from Tuesday evening and beyond.
Rain some another system could lead to heavy downpours Friday that continue into Saturday.
