Scattered showers, thunderstorms expected Monday in Philadelphia region. Here's the weather forecast.
Clouds will increase overnight, and there's a chance for some patchy light fog or mist to develop across the Philadelphia area. A stalled front lifts north as a warm front Monday, placing the region into a warmer, more unstable air mass. Mostly sunny skies will allow temperatures to rise into the upper 80s to near 90, with heat indices approaching 94–95 degrees. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected during the afternoon, driven by increased instability and a strengthening mid-level flow. While severe weather potential is limited by marginal shear, a few stronger storms with damaging wind gusts or localized flash flooding are possible. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a marginal risk (1/5) for severe storms. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue Monday night as the warm front pushes north. Lows will range from the upper 60s to mid-70s. CBS News Philadelphia Tuesday brings a more active setup. The region will be fully in the warm sector with highs in the low 80s to low 90s and dew points in the 70s — supporting strong instability. A strengthening upper-level trough will push a cold front through the area later in the day. If morning clouds and convection clear in time, conditions will support strong to severe storms. The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of the region in a slight risk (2/5) for severe thunderstorms, with damaging wind gusts as the main threat. Alongside the severe threat, there's also a risk for localized flash flooding. PWAT values between 2.0–2.5 inches and deep warm cloud layers will support heavy rainfall rates, especially if storms train over the same area. Delmarva is under a slight risk (2/4) for excessive rainfall, with a marginal risk (1/4) elsewhere. CBS News Philadelphia The cold front slows as it moves through Tuesday night, with lingering showers possible through Wednesday morning, especially near coastal areas. Lows Tuesday night will be in the 60s to low 70s. An upper-level trough lingers over the Northeast into the weekend. While Wednesday and Thursday will be warm, humidity will drop slightly behind the front. Most of Wednesday looks dry, with only a slight chance for showers Thursday near and northwest of I-78 as a weak front moves through. Friday and Saturday look pleasant. High pressure will settle over the region with mostly sunny skies, highs in the 80s, and comfortable dew points in the low to mid 60s. It's shaping up to be a nice holiday weekend. Here's your 7-day forecast: CBS News Philadelphia Monday: Scattered p.m. storms. High 88, Low 73. Tuesday: NEXT Weather Alert for storms. High 89, Low 76. Wednesday: Sun, few clouds. High 88, Low 72.

Hurricane center says tropical system could target Florida while Tropical Storm Barry forms near Mexico
While Tropical Storm Barry formed in Gulf waters off of Mexico on Sunday, the National Hurricane Center began forecasting the season's next potential tropical system could form and threaten Florida. In its 8 a.m. tropical outlook the NHC said an area of low pressure from a remnant frontal boundary could develop near the end of this week near either the southeastern U.S. Atlantic of Gulf coasts. Its bubble of potential development sweeps across all of Central Florida. 'Some gradual tropical or subtropical development could occur thereafter as it drifts slowly just off the U.S. coastline,' forecasters said. The NHC gave it a 20% chance for development in the next seven days. The National Weather Service in Melbourne said expect a high chance of rain no matter what forms around the Fourth of July and into that weekend. 'The evolution of this stalled boundary and any features that it may help produce remains very low confidence and bears watching. However, the overall forecast thinking remains the same, regardless: high coverage of showers and storms looks to continue each afternoon and evening into next weekend, as deep moisture lingers,' NWS forecasters said. If it were to develop into a named storm, it could become Tropical Storm Chantal. That's because the second named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season formed Sunday morning in the Bay of Campeche off of the Mexican coast. As of 11 a.m., the center of Barry was located about 90 miles east-southeast of Tuxpan and 165 miles southeast of Tampico, Mexico with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph moving northwest at 6 mph. Tropical-storm-force winds extend out 35 miles. A tropical storm warning remained in effect for the Gulf coast of Mexico from Boca de Catan southward to Tecolutla. 'On the forecast track, the storm is expected to make landfall and then move inland over eastern Mexico later today or tonight,' forecasters said. 'A little more intensification is forecast before the system reaches the coast of eastern Mexico. Rapid weakening is expected after the system moves inland.' The system is forecast to drop 3-6 inches with some areas getting up to 10 inches across the Mexican states of Veracruz, San Luis Potosi and Tamaulipas through Monday. 'This rainfall may produce life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas of steep terrain,' the NHC stated. The slow start of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season did not see the first named storm form last week. What would have been Tropical Storm Andrea remained out in the middle of the Atlantic, where it spun for less than a day with no threat to land. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, though, still forecasts this year 13 to 19 named storms this year, of which 6-10 will become hurricanes. Three to five of those are predicted to grow into major hurricanes of Category 3 strength or higher. Hurricane season runs through Nov. 30. _____

Heatwave peak set to bring 34C to parts of UK
Parts of the UK could see one of the hottest June days ever as a heatwave, now in its fourth day, peaks on Monday. Temperatures of 34C are possible in central and eastern parts of England according to the Met Office. UK temperatures in June have only exceeded this level three times since 1960. Glastonbury Festival has advised people to leave before 06:00 BST to avoid the head while Wimbledon could see its hottest opening day ever. An amber alert, in place since Friday, persists for five regions meaning weather impacts are likely to be felt across the whole health service. There is also a "severe" risk of wildfires according to the London Fire Brigade. The East Midlands, South East, South West, London and the East of England all fall under the amber heat-health alert and are likely to be subject to travel delays. Meanwhile, Yorkshire and Humber and the West Midlands are under a less serious yellow alert. The high temperatures mean all of these areas are likely to experience a rise in deaths particularly among the vulnerable, according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). However it won't be hot everywhere. "Cloud and some heavy rain will affect Northern Ireland and western parts of Scotland through Monday and temperatures will be suppressed to the mid to high teens," Met Office Chief Meteorologist Matthew Lenhert said. Night-time lows are only predicted to fall to 20C in some areas heading into Tuesday. This is the second heatwave of the year. London Fire Brigade assistant Thomas Goodall explained that this is why the risk of wildfires is "severe" as well as due to low rainfall in recent months. Guidance from the UKHSA recommends keeping out of the sun in the hottest part of the day between 11:00 and 15:00, wearing hats, sunglasses and suncream.
