NEXT Weather: temperature and humidity drop

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Wednesday should be cloudier than Tuesday for much of our region, leading to lower temperatures.

There hasn’t been much heat this month – we don’t have a good chance of hitting the 90 degree mark next Thursday.

The high is in the mid-70s in the city on Thursday, and we expect clouds and scattered showers.

Wednesday evening there may be a single shower, but Thursday afternoon the shower chances really increase, with even a rumble of thunder.

There may even be some wind gusts near the Poconos Thursday evening through Friday morning.

The cold front moved through with very little fanfare and began to usher in cooler air throughout the day.

The stuffy gauge will remain in the “comfortable” range through Thursday morning before shooting back up on Friday.

We are also looking at Tropical Storm Franklin developing over the Dominican Republic. Once it moves offshore, it could develop into a Category 1 hurricane.

While current models keep the storm offshore, we could see some effects if the edges of the storm cut off our area. We’ll keep you updated as Franklin gets closer.

This is your seven-day forecast:

Wednesday: Still silent. High 80

Thursday: Morning showers. High 80, low 67

Friday: Showers likely. High 87 Low 68

Saturday: Chance of storms. High 83, low 71

Sunday: Partly sunny. High 77, low 65

Monday: Mainly sunny. High 80, low 63

Tuesday: High 79, Low 66
