Storms clear in Philadelphia, more seasonable temps and low humidity heading into the weekend
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Showers and storms packed a punch late Wednesday evening, with frequent lightning, gusty winds and flash flooding for some areas. Now that the cold front has passed through, expect gradual clearing Thursday, with a return to sunshine and most importantly, seasonable temperatures.
Thursday afternoon should bring us partly cloudy and sunny skies after a few spotty showers in the morning. Highs today will be around 86 in Philadelphia, much more seasonable for this time of the year.
By tonight, low humidity arrives and we'll wake up Friday morning to a comfortable and refreshing air mass. It will still be seasonably hot Friday with highs in the upper 80s, but lower humidity will keep it comfy for outdoor activities.
Looking ahead to the weekend
A weak system could bring us a few clouds on Saturday and even a slight chance of an isolated, spotty shower.
Through the weekend and beyond, the temperatures will drop back to seasonably normal levels with only stray summer storms as humidity slightly increases starting Sunday.
