Philly Forecast Change

The models have changed since yesterday and so has the forecast.

High pressure will block the advance of moisture from the south and  the  significant cloudiness previously expected will be less for later today, Saturday.

For Sunday, the expected easterly flow changes around to a southerly flow with less cloudiness. High pressure will nose down from the northeast, keeping us dry and reducing the cloudiness that had been expected.

Overall, a nicer weekend weather-wise is expected, specifically more sunshine on Sunday afternoon.

Philly Weekend Weather Forecast

High pressure is drifting off to the northeast and an easterly surface wind flow will bring moisture and cloudiness to the Philadelphia area over the weekend. Areas to our east and the Jersey shore will have more clouds and areas to the west will have brighter skies. The models often have a tough time predicting the amount of cloudiness in the summer, so confidence in this forecast is a bit lower than past weeks.

No precipitation is expected.

Sat 7/19: Cloudy in the morning, some brightening skies during the afternoon. High 83.

Sun 7/20: Cloudy in the morning, some sun possible in the afternoon. High 82.
