People living in and around Philadelphia should be mindful of potential thunderstorms throughout Monday, as a cold front passes through the area.
According to forecasts, this won’t cause any major disruptions throughout the day. There isn’t expected to be any severe weather or flooding, meaning there isn’t much to worry about overall. In the event of a storm, it should be short and localized.
Once the front moves through, things are expected to improve in terms of the weather and humidity levels.
What’s Coming Next
Tuesday and most of Wednesday are shaping up to be dry and warm across the Philadelphia region, with highs climbing into the upper 80s and even touching 90 degrees. Humidity will build gradually through the period, so it won’t stay comfortable for long.
The next real chance for wet weather arrives Wednesday night into Thursday, when another cold front is expected to move through. Meteorologists say the exact timing is still uncertain, so residents should keep checking updated forecasts as the week progresses.
Behind that front, cooler and more comfortable air will settle in, with highs dropping back into the low-to-mid 80s. The pattern may stay a bit unsettled heading into the weekend, though forecasters currently have low confidence in exactly how much rain the area will see.
