PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — After a long, dry stretch, we’re about to see rain return to the Delaware Valley, with showers and even some thunderstorms slated to move in by the end of Tuesday into Wednesday. Until then, expect a dry Monday, with seasonably warm temperatures and increasing clouds.
Overnight, you can expect clear to mostly clear skies and mild, with lows in the mid to upper 50s. A few 60s will remain in place across the Jersey Shore.
The dry weather will continue for the start of the new week, through the Eagles game Monday night. Temperatures Monday afternoon will be in the upper 70s with increasing clouds through Monday afternoon and into Monday night. The forecast for the Birds game Monday night against the Falcons looks pleasant with temps at kickoff in the low 70s before cooling into the 60s under mostly cloudy skies through the game.
NEXT: We’re watching for the return of rain to the area, something likely to happen by late Tuesday into Wednesday, with a stalled-out frontal boundary to our south. Positioned along the Southeast Coast, it will be the focus for the potential development of an area of low pressure that could turn tropical into early next week. Since we now have Tropical Storm Gordon in the open Atlantic, if this system were to become a tropical storm, it would be named Helene.
