Heat wave ends in Philadelphia, stormy weather moves in Thursday. Here's the forecast.
We made it! After several record-breaking days with excessive heat in the Philadelphia region, including the first day about 100 degrees in nearly 13 years, we've turned the corner and temps will be back down into the reasonable range for this time of year.
Expect temperatures to be back into the mid-upper 80s for many locations around the Delaware Valley on Thursday as the overall weather pattern shifts, bringing more cloud cover and the chance for pop-up showers and storms.

The Storm Prediction Center has much of the area under a non-severe thunderstorm risk, with the exception of parts of South Jersey and Delaware, where a level 1 risk is in place with the potential for gusty winds.
Friday is much cooler and cloudy with highs struggling to rise through the 70s. While it looks a bit cloudy and dreary, it'll be some nice relief from the heat.
Then we have more seasonable early summer weather to look ahead to for the weekend, although the pattern will remain quite unstable with passing showers and storms possible each day.

Tracking possible severe storms today: stormy, hot weekend ahead
This morning, skies are dry and will remain that way through lunchtime. Later this afternoon, there is a marginal risk for severe thunderstorms across northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas. As a cold front approaches this afternoon and evening, a few storms could develop along it — some of which may become severe. The primary hazards will be damaging winds and heavy rainfall, which could lead to localized flooding. After the storms pass, skies will dry out again, and overnight lows will drop into the upper 60s. Tomorrow morning, expect a few more clouds. There is a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms in our area, but most of the activity is trending south of I-70. Flood warnings are still in effect across northwest Missouri due to heavy rainfall on Monday and Tuesday. There is still a flood warning for Buchannan and Platte County, as moderate flooding is occurring on the Platte River, as of today this warning does not expire until 7 am on Sunday, June 29, 2025. This weekend will be hot and humid, with heat index values ranging from the mid-90s to upper 90s. There is also a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms both days. Afternoon highs will be in the low 90s, making for a hot and stormy weekend.

What does it mean if early Atlantic hurricane season is relatively calm?
When Tropical Storm Andrea made its 12-hour appearance in the middle of the northern Atlantic Ocean earlier this week, it ended the longest wait for a named storm in the basin since the 2014 season. It developed in open waters west of the Azores and hundreds of miles east of Bermuda. It was only briefly strong enough to count as a tropical storm, but Andrea nonetheless entered the record books as the named storm to occur the farthest northeast during June.

Weather Permitting: Fayetteville area remains under a heat advisory. Is relief in sight?
Fayetteville got its first real taste of summer this past week — an oppressive, air conditioning-straining visit to Satan's front porch as heat index readings climbed above 110 degrees. But we've seen worse — much worse — early summers in the past. Late June heat waves are less common in the Cape Fear region than the occasional blast furnaces we see in late summer. A quick look in the weather history book, however, reveals a few "early bird" roastings. Heat relief: Cooling centers open in Cumberland County amid dangerous heat. Here's where to go Notably, the early summers of 1952 and 1954 were miserable in central and eastern North Carolina. Fayetteville hit a high of 105 on June 28, 1954 — the hottest June day on record until we hit 106 in the withering heat wave of 2012. The city seems a lead-pipe cinch to finish June with an average high temperature above 90, about 2 degrees above the 30-year average. While the region won't see the hazardous heat of last week, look for the rest of the month to be hot and muggy. In other words, welcome to late June in Fayetteville! There's really not much change in our typical summer setup. High pressure will build, then slowly slide offshore, pushing warm, humid air over the Carolinas. Temperatures and dew points will combine to create heat advisories, with occasional scattered afternoon thundershowers that wane after sunset. Friday will see highs of about 95 in Fayetteville, with a heat index in the low 100s. Overnight lows will hold in the mid-70s. More of the same across the region, with perhaps an uptick in showers as we head into next week. Air movement will be slow and sultry, keeping the region hot and muggy. Highs both days will be about 95, lows of about 75. Monday and Tuesday continue this stagnant pattern, with perhaps more afternoon showers in the northern region. By Wednesday, it looks like a frontal boundary may push southward, increasing the chance of showers. After that, temperatures should drop a bit by the end of the week. Fayetteville will see highs in the low 90s, with lows closer to 70. Have a great weekend and stay cool! Got a weather question?
