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.

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.

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.

Trump terminates satellite data considered crucial to storm forecasting
A Department of Defense weather satellite program that collects vital information for hurricane forecasts will stop distributing data products to users Monday. The termination of data products from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program could lead to dangerous declines in the quality of hurricane forecasts, meteorologists say. That's especially worrying, they say, as the termination comes in the middle of this year's hurricane season. 'There is no sugar-coating it: hurricane forecasts will undoubtedly be worse after this loss,' said Brian McNoldy, a hurricane expert at the University of Miami, in an email to POLITICO's E&E News. 'For anyone near a hurricane-prone area, this is alarmingly bad news.' Advertisement NOAA, which provides operational support for the program, issued a termination notice Wednesday. The agency did not provide reasons for the decision. An official for the U.S. Space Force, which manages the program, confirmed that the satellites and their instruments are still fully functional. And the Defense Department will still have access to DMSP data. But for the program's large network of users, the data products are going dark — and it's still unclear why. The Navy's Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center is responsible for processing the program's data and sending it to NOAA for public distribution, the Space Force official said, noting that questions about the reasons for the termination should be directed to the Navy. The Navy's press office did not immediately respond to requests for comment. DMSP has operated since the 1960s. It's a constellation of weather satellites collecting a variety of measurements used to track everything from thunderstorms to fog to snow and ice cover. Its data products are used by researchers around the world, including forecasters at the National Weather Service. 'Insanity' One of the program's key capabilities is its specialized microwave sensor. This instrument provides detailed scans that allow scientists to effectively see through the tops of clouds and examine the weather systems below, including rain, ice and cloud structures closer to the surface of the Earth. These microwave scans are crucial for accurate hurricane models, meteorologists say. They help scientists keep tabs on the way storms develop and intensify. They also help scientists pinpoint the location of tropical cyclones over the ocean, helping to narrow down track forecasts. Microwave data is especially helpful for projecting rapid-intensification events, when hurricanes make sudden, extreme gains in wind speed over a short period of time. Rapid intensification is notoriously difficult to predict, and it's famously dangerous — it can cause tropical storms to balloon into major hurricanes over the course of a day, leaving emergency managers little time to prepare. It's only in relatively recent years that scientists have made major strides in improving these forecasts. Now, experts are worried that the loss of DMSP data will hamstring their models this hurricane season. DMSP accounts for as much as half of the microwave scans that help forecasters build their predictions. 'There is critical information that we can get from these satellites that we cannot get from more traditional visible or infrared satellites,' said scientist Philip Klotzbach, who leads Colorado State University's annual Atlantic hurricane forecasts, adding that the announcement was 'certainly a surprise to me.' McNoldy, of the University of Miami, said that his 'gut reaction was disbelief' when he heard the news. 'Microwave data are already relatively sparse, so any loss — even gradual as satellites or instruments fail — is a big deal; but to abruptly end three active functioning satellites is insanity,' he added in an email. Storm-chasing aircraft, like NOAA's famed Hurricane Hunters, can provide some of the same kinds of data supplied by microwave sensors. But these aircraft typically deploy only for Atlantic hurricanes expected to make landfall, and they're rarely used in the Pacific. DMSP isn't the only satellite program that collects microwave scans. NASA has a satellite with similar capabilities, and so does at least one Japanese satellite, according to McNoldy. NOAA maintains three satellites with microwave sensors, but they operate at a lower resolution and tend to be less useful for detailed hurricane forecasts. That makes DMSP one of the biggest single sources of high-quality microwave data. Michael Lowry, a hurricane specialist with WPLG-TV in Miami and a former scientist with NOAA's National Hurricane Center, estimates that DMSP provides roughly 50 percent of all available microwave scans to forecasters. Without the DMSP scans, 'data availability will be sliced in half, greatly increasing the odds of missing rapid intensification episodes, underestimating intensity, or misplacing the storm and degrading forecast accuracy,' Lowry wrote in a Substack post yesterday. Maria Torres, a public affairs officer with the National Hurricane Center, said in an email that National Weather Service models continue to incorporate data from a variety of other sources, including other satellites, Hurricane Hunter flights, buoys and ground-based instruments. 'NOAA's data sources are fully capable of providing a complete suite of cutting-edge data and models that ensure the gold-standard weather forecasting the American people deserve,' she said. Extreme weather blind spots The DMSP terminations are the latest in a string of cuts that experts say are blinding the country to the impacts of climate change. Thousands of federal workers have already left the agencies responsible for climate and environmental monitoring, including NOAA, NASA and EPA. The White House's budget request for fiscal 2026 has proposed catastrophic cuts to climate and weather research programs, including the elimination of NOAA's entire research arm. The impacts on extreme weather forecasts are top of mind for many experts at the moment. Wildfires have raged across the country since the start of the year, with hundreds of active fires exploding across interior Alaska just this month. An unusually active tornado season killed dozens of people this spring. And hurricane season is underway, with forecasts predicting above-average activity this year. Experts have warned that recent chaos at the agencies responsible for disaster forecasting and response, including NOAA and FEMA, could pose major safety issues when extreme weather strikes this summer. Hurricane forecasts aren't the only scientific tools threatened by the DMSP losses. The program's data products also help scientists keep track of snow and ice cover around the globe. The Arctic is one of the fastest-warming regions on Earth, heating up as much as four times faster than the rest of the globe. Some studies warn that the Arctic Ocean could begin to see ice-free summers within a matter of decades, with dramatic consequences for local ecosystems, economies and cultural practices. Meanwhile, melting ice from Antarctica, Greenland and mountain glaciers around the world is the biggest driver of global sea-level rise, which poses an existential threat to coastal communities and small island nations around the world as temperatures rise. That makes polar research more critical now than ever, scientists say. The National Snow and Ice Data Center issued two notices Wednesday warning that the DMSP terminations will affect a variety of its data products. The center — a polar research institute at the NOAA-funded Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences in Colorado — said it is exploring alternative data sources. But it added that users 'should anticipate a gap in data availability' in the meantime. Still, this summer's hurricane forecasts are among the most pressing potential casualties of the DMSP data losses. 'I worry that if we lose another tool we use to diagnose storms, it can be another thing that will make the forecasts a little bit harder,' said Andrew Hazelton, a hurricane model expert at the University of Miami and a former NOAA scientist who was fired amid the Trump administration's recent layoffs. He said he didn't want to overstate the potential consequences of the losses but noted that there are very few other sources of high-quality microwave data for hurricane forecasts. Other scientists expressed fears about the dangers to human life. Posting on Bluesky early Thursday morning, hurricane researcher Jimmy Yunge shared a message he wrote to NOAA's Office of Satellite and Product Operations expressing his alarm. 'This decision will kill people,' he wrote. 'I seriously urge all of those involved to reverse this policy, and call on those who have any amount of leverage in the upper administration to push back at any and every level under moral and practical grounds.'

Did June feel hot to you? Look up temperatures and humidity in your area.
Did June feel unusually hot and humid to you? For around 240 million people across the United States, the month was at least a degree warmer than average. Only around 9 million people nationwide experienced a cooler than average June. In 41 contiguous states as well as D.C., monthly temperatures were at least a degree above-average. But it wasn't the days that were most unusually warm — it was the nights. A total of 44 states and D.C. experienced above-average low temperatures, which meant less relief from the heat after sundown.

Inter Milan Hoping ‘Ultra-Rigid' Thunderstorm Protocol Doesn't Hold Up Club World Cup Clash Vs Fluminense
Inter Milan are hoping that 'ultra-rigid' thunderstorm protocols in Charlotte don't hold up their match against Fluminense. Today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, note that lightning anywhere in the area could hold up the match. Advertisement The match will determine which team advances to the quarterfinal. There, they will face the winner of today's other round of sixteen match between Manchester City and Al-Hilal. The Italian and Brazilian giants will play at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Inter Hope 'Ultra-Rigid' Thunderstorm Protocols Don't Hold Up Fluminense Match PASADENA, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 17: Cristian Chivu, Head Coach of FC Internazionale Milano, reacts during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between CF Monterrey and FC Internazionale Milano at Rose Bowl Stadium on June 17, 2025 in Pasadena, California. (Photo by) And the location of today's match will be highly significant. The Nerazzurri played their last match in Seattle. On the west coast of the United States, the temperatures were quite mild compared to where the team are now. However, conditions in Charlotte are very hot, as well as humid. Advertisement Furthermore, this type of weather is certainly highly conducive to potential thunderstorm activity. And that could pose problems for Inter's efforts to kick off their match against Fluminense in a timely manner. There had already been lengthy delays to the match between Benfica and Chelsea at the Bank of America Stadium on Saturday. That had been due to lightning strikes in the vicinity of the area. And as the Corriere dello Sport note, the protocols around lightning in Charlotte are 'ultra-rigid.' If there are any lightning strikes spotted in the vicinity of the stadium, the match must wait. Therefore, Inter will wait nervously to see whether this will be a factor in their match against Fluminense.
