Thursday is shaping up to be brighter in the Philadelphia area as high pressure slides in from the northwest. With more sunshine breaking through, temperatures will begin a warming trend that carries us toward the upper 80s by the weekend. It’s a return to more classic early August weather, but without the oppressive humidity — at least for now.
Rain chances will be limited, with only a stray shower, mostly south of the city. Otherwise, we’re in for a fairly quiet and dry stretch to kick off end of the first week of August.
