Philadelphia, PA – The weekend weather in the Philadelphia region will bring mostly sunny skies and muggy conditions, with temperatures hovering near 90°F. While the chance for thunderstorms is low, a stray thundershower remains possible, especially with the humid summer air.

Weekend Weather: Hot and Humid with a Low Chance of Thunderstorms

If you love the heat and humidity of summer, this weekend will be perfect for you. As temperatures stay close to 90°F, it’s an ideal time to enjoy outdoor activities, as long as you’re prepared for the muggy conditions. While Labor Day weekend is just two weeks away, this upcoming weekend may be one of the last few opportunities to fully soak in the summer vibes.

However, the air will remain humid and swampy, which brings a slight chance of pop-up showers or summer storms. The likelihood of these storms is relatively low, but if you hear thunder, it’s recommended to head inside for 15 minutes, as the storm will likely pass. The biggest risks with these storms will be lightning and locally heavy rainfall.

NWS Team continues to monitor Hurricane Erin, which could cause rough surf and rip tides along the Jersey shore and Delaware beaches by mid-late next week.

Sunday to Be the Hottest Day of the Weekend

Sunday is expected to be the hottest day of the weekend, with temperatures possibly reaching the low-90s. It will be a great day for outdoor activities, but cool down if you can, as the high heat combined with humidity can be intense. There is no sign of any extreme heat lasting through the week, as fall is quickly approaching.

Hurricane Erin Could Bring Dangerous Beach Conditions Next Week

The NWS is also closely tracking Hurricane Erin, which is currently a Category 3 hurricane, expected to strengthen into a Category 4 by next week. This could lead to rough surf and riptide dangers along the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches. Safety precautions should be followed as the storm gets closer.
