Warm, sunny end to July 4th weekend in Philadelphia region before rain returns this week

The nice stretch of weather for the Fourth of July holiday will continue for one more day as we wrap up the weekend. Our Sunday will get off to a pleasant start with temperatures in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Because of the plentiful sunshine, temperatures will quickly warm back to near 90 degrees with just a little more humidity starting to make its way in from the south. A code orange air quality alert is in effect for the entire state of Delaware, plus Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Mercer counties, New Jersey, on Sunday. A code orange alert means the air quality is unhealthy for sensitive groups, including the elderly, small children and those with respiratory issues. CBS News Philadelphia The increase in humidity will be the beginning of the increasing moisture that will feed into the area out of the tropics, which will make for a bit of an unsettled week ahead. So, consider this your official "Umbrella Alert" for next week. Each day will be humid with highs in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees and a chance of showers or thunderstorms. Monday's rain differs from the rest of the week because it will be the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal. CBS News Philadelphia The storm is expected to make landfall in South Carolina early Sunday morning and travel northward, dumping 4-6 inches of rain while rapidly weakening to a remnant area of low pressure as it tracks north through North Carolina and Virginia. A cold front sweeping eastward across the region will guide Chantal's remnants across Philadelphia on Monday. Scattered thunderstorms and showers are possible, mainly in the afternoon and evening, and will bring the threat for heavy rainfall along with some gusty winds. CBS News Philadelphia Tuesday through Friday, a series of disturbances will move across the region, bringing daily scattered showers and storms. Here's your 7-day forecast: CBS News Philadelphia Sunday: Sunny, more humid. High 90, Low 67. Monday: Scattered storms. High 86, Low 75. Tuesday: Scattered storms. High 90, Low 74. Wednesday: Isolated thunderstorm. High 90, Low 73. Thursday: Scattered storms. High 85, Low 72. Friday: Scattered storms, High 84, Low 71. Saturday: Stray thunderstorms. High 82, Low 71.

Rainy and cooler Father's Day weather in Philadelphia, showers continue into Monday AM commute

If you're heading out to celebrate Father's Day Sunday morning, take it slow on the roads – they could be slick after some early morning downpours. Steady rain will taper off this morning but the chance for on-and-off spotty showers continues around the Delaware Valley this afternoon, though it won't be a complete washout. High temperatures Sunday stay about 15 degrees below average and are expected to top out near 68 degrees in the city. In Delaware, a Code Orange Air Quality Alert is in effect Sunday. Sensitive groups, including children, the elderly and people with breathing, hear or lung problems, should limit time outside. Temps stay cooler over the next few days, and we have more chances for steady rain and thunderstorms overnight and into the Monday morning commute. Monday morning radar CBS Philadelphia Heat returns After a few cooler-than-average and cloudy days, get ready for the heat and humidity to return on Wednesday and Thursday. On Wednesday highs will climb back into the upper 80s with our next chance for the 90s on Thursday, though there's a chance for thunderstorms late in the day. High temperature trend this week CBS Philadelphia Looking ahead to the weekend, we could kick off our first heat wave of the season on Saturday as temperatures look to stay in the 90s heading into early next week. Temperatures need to reach the 90s three consecutive days to be considered a heat wave, so stay tuned.

Fire risk, air quality concerns in Minnesota Monday as hot streak continues

NEXT Weather: 5 a.m. report for Minnesota from May 12, 2025 NEXT Weather: 5 a.m. report for Minnesota from May 12, 2025 NEXT Weather: 5 a.m. report for Minnesota from May 12, 2025 A red flag warning and air quality alert will be in effect in Minnesota on a hot, windy Monday. The red flag warning will be in place in northeastern Minnesota from noon to 9 p.m. due to "critical fire weather conditions," the National Weather Service said. The air quality alert will be in place for the same time in western and central Minnesota, including the Twin Cities. The NWS said ozone pollution will cause the Air Quality Index to reach the orange category, which means it will be unhealthy for sensitive groups like children, older adults and those with respiratory conditions. Those concerns aside, the state is in for an unseasonably warm day, with highs approaching 90 and gusty winds. Tuesday will be another hot, breezy day, with continuing fire risk. Wednesday will start warm, but clouds will begin building. On Thursday, showers and storms will return and provide a break from the heat. The weekend looks cooler and quieter, with highs in the 60s and 70s.
