Philadelphia Weather Forecast, Brief Sunny Respite Before Thunderstorms Return Midweek
The National Weather Service in Philadelphia forecasts a slight change in the weather pattern with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms early today, giving way to what will be mostly sunny skies with a brisk northwest breeze pushing through at 10 to 20 mph; the chance of rain before 8 am is pegged at a mere 20%. Temperatures are expected to climb to a comfortable 83 degrees Fahrenheit by day's end, providing a brief respite from the humidity that's been clinging to the city's streets like an unwanted veil, according to National Weather Service.
As night falls, the sky will clear further, and the mercury is set to dip to around 68 degrees, while the northwest wind settles in at a calmer 10 to 15 mph, which may not be a problem come Tuesday when sunny skies will claim dominion and the high surges to a summer-like 92 degrees, the northwest wind now a gentle whisper at 5 to 10 mph giving residents a sense that the heat, too, could be a languid wave ebbed from some distant fiery hearth, as per National Weather Service.
Midweek promises a different story as chances of showers and thunderstorms re-emerge after 2 PM on Wednesday, the day itself mostly sunny until then, and temperatures are soaring up to a sweltering 96 degrees—with the southwest wind at 10 to 15 mph, residents might well expect rainfall between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, though the unwary might find themselves in the path of higher amounts during thunderstorms.
Wednesday evening carries an 80% chance of precipitation, a curious promise of showers and possibly a thunderstorm between 8pm and 2am then a suggestion of showers and thunderstorms after 2am; the temperature dropping lightly to 72 degrees—while the rain might bring some relief to the scorching day that preceded it, the predicted new rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch might have Philadelphians bracing for potential puddles and the random, capricious dance of summer showers.
A glance further towards the week's end indicates a lighter chance of showers on Thursday morning, before another mostly sunny day with a high near 87 degrees takes hold, the prospect of clearer skies carrying into the night as temperatures lower to around 65 degrees. The outlook for Friday stays bright and sunny, with the high nearing 85 degrees, offering a prelude to what seems to be a partly sunny weekend with intermittent chances of showers and thunderstorms, particularly Saturday night where there is a 40 percent chance of precipitation and Sunday rounding out the weekend with temperatures peaking at about 91 degrees and a persistent 50 percent probability of rain that could punctuate the weekend's end with thunderous applause from the heavens, as reported by National Weather Service.
