Philadelphia, PA – After a disruptive Thursday evening marked by storms during the Philadelphia Eagles game against the Dallas Cowboys, residents can expect a reprieve on Friday with dry conditions and warmer-than-average temperatures. The pleasant weather will offer a welcome break before possible storms return over the weekend.
Friday will be a day of partly to mostly sunny skies and highs rebounding into the upper 80s. However, the weather outlook signals a shift by Saturday, when the region should brace for increased humidity and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Thankfully, by Sunday, much cooler and drier air is expected to settle in, refreshing the region with a return to sunshine and milder temperatures.
Friday’s Sunny and Warm Conditions Provide a Temporary Break
For those heading out Friday morning, especially early commuters and students, expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the 60s. The day will be dominated by mostly sunny conditions, allowing residents to enjoy one of the warmer days as temperatures rise to around 87 degrees Fahrenheit as reported.
This steadier weather follows the chaotic weather that impacted Thursday’s NFL game in Philadelphia, offering locals a chance to plan outdoor activities or errands without concerns about precipitation.
Storms Return Saturday with Increased Humidity
Saturday’s forecast brings a shift back to unsettled weather patterns. The day will remain warm and humid with highs near 90 degrees, but afternoon and evening will see showers and thunderstorms moving through the region. Residents should prepare for the possibility of heavy rain, gusty winds, and localized flooding, especially later in the day.
- Temperatures will peak near 89 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Thunderstorms expected mainly in the afternoon and evening hours.
Sunday Brings Cooler, Drier Air with Mostly Sunny Skies
Following the stormy Saturday, a refreshing change arrives Sunday as cooler and drier air filters into the Philadelphia area. Clouds will gradually give way to sunshine, setting the stage for a pleasant day with highs settling in the low 70s (around 73 degrees).
Low temperatures will also dip, falling to near 63 degrees, providing relief from the intense warmth and humidity seen earlier in the week.
Looking Ahead: Mild and Sunny Start to Next Week
