PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – With so many events happening in Philadelphia and the region this weekend, it’s imperative that the weather cooperates, right? The good news is: it certainly is!
Expect nearly unfiltered sunshine on Saturday, with highs in the city of Philadelphia around 84 degrees. With light west winds at 5 to 10 mph, even the Jersey Shore will see highs in the low 80s.
Farther north and west we’ll see much of the same, with highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s for the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos.
Wherever you are outside today, don’t forget the sunscreen as the UV index is high today. Apply a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 (50 is best!) and remember to reapply often!
The Phillies continue their series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Citizens Bank Park and of course it looks beautiful for the tailgate, with temperatures in the low to mid 80s.
The first pitch is at 7:15 PM, with lots of sun, light winds and temperatures around 80 degrees Celsius. By the time the game ends, we’ll be around 70 degrees.
Sunday will be the more humid of the two weekend days, with breezy south-westerly winds around 10-25 km/h. Highs on Sunday will be similar to today, but it will feel much more humid as a system approaches from the west. As for the sky, you can expect a mostly cloudy day.
Although it will remain dry this weekend, there is a chance of showers and some non-severe thunderstorms during the night from Sunday to Monday. Next week it will be warm and humid and we will all have a chance of showers every day.
Enjoy the weekend and happy June!
