Mostly sunny and warm weather to start off your weekend in Philadelphia on Saturday
After what has seemed like a never-ending stretch of hot, sticky, stormy weather, we are being rewarded with a holiday treat! Sunny and seasonable for the entire Fourth of July weekend.
It's rare to have all three days sunny with no rain. In fact, since 2000, there have only been five other years that were dry all three days; yet some of those years were blazing hot! The last time we had a similar three-day holiday stretch was back in 2009, a whopping 16 years ago. So enjoy it!
