Philadelphia is waking up to a cloudy, mild Saturday with temperatures around 73 degrees, but the holiday weekend is still shaping up nicely. Skies should brighten later, with a high near 84 and little chance of rain across the city.
Hoodline's September 4 forecast described Saturday as sunny with a high near 82, according to Hoodline's earlier forecast. A light northerly breeze should keep conditions comfortable, and Saturday night will turn mostly clear with a low near 64.
Saturday Offers The Best Outdoor Window
Clouds may linger through the morning before breaking up around midday, giving way to partly sunny and mostly sunny skies during the afternoon. The chance of precipitation remains very low, making Saturday the easiest day for parks, patios, neighborhood events and other outdoor plans.
Sunday Brings Cooler Coastal Conditions
Sunday should be mostly sunny in Philadelphia with a high near 78, followed by a partly cloudy night and a low around 61. The National Weather Service's Mount Holly office says some showers could affect New Jersey's coastal plain late Saturday night into Sunday, while minor tidal flooding is possible Sunday afternoon along the Jersey Shore, Delaware beaches and Delaware Bay.
Philadelphia has no watches, warnings or advisories listed in the current forecast. For city residents, Sunday still looks largely dry, though anyone heading toward the coast should keep an eye on local tidal conditions.
Labor Day Stays Sunny Before A Midweek Warmup
Labor Day should bring sunny skies and a high near 81, with a mostly clear night falling to around 61. Tuesday and Wednesday turn warmer, with above-normal temperatures returning by Tuesday and continuing through midweek, before a slight chance of showers arrives after 2 p.m. Thursday.
Thursday should still be mostly sunny overall with a high near 86, while Friday cools back to around 79. In other words, summer is not quite ready to leave Philadelphia just yet, but the weekend itself should offer a welcome break from the recent heat and humidity.
