After record-breaking heat, we'll transition to a wet, cool and windy pattern through the weekend. Temperatures will continue to drop eventually bottoming out to the 50s and 60s for daytime highs by Sunday!
We started the day warm and clear, but the marine layer quickly rolled in dropping temperatures significantly, especially for our coastal communities, by about 10 to 15 degrees. As onshore flow increases, the marine layer will increase each morning leading to pockets of dense fog from the coast to the inland valleys.
Marine layer clouds will likely produce patchy drizzle Saturday morning, with showers increasing in the afternoon and evening, potentially lingering into early Sunday morning. Accumulations will be light between .10 and .25" from the coast to the mountains.
We'll also have periods of gusty winds in our mountains and deserts where a High Wind Watch is in effect starting Saturday at 11AM ending Sunday at 8PM. Sustained westerly winds will track upwards of 35 mph gusting near 70+ mph, peaking Saturday afternoon.
Slight warming early next week, but we'll still trend below average, and it will be much drier finally feeling like fall with crisp dry air!
FRIARS FORECAST: At Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, temperatures will be cold for our Friars. At first pitch tomorrow, temperatures will be in the upper 50s then drop to the low 50s upper 40s by end of game. By Sunday, like us, they'll be expecting some rain right at gametime with highs in the low 60s.
Friday's Highs:
Coast: 69-79°
Inland: 77-83°
Mountains: 67-82°
Deserts: 84-95°
