Mostly sunny Monday in Philadelphia region, but rain chances increase later in the week. Here's the forecast.
Let's keep the weekend vibes continuing into the new week, or at least let's keep the comfortable temperatures and sunshine. That'll be the plan as temperatures take a dip into the low-middle 50s across the Philadelphia region Monday morning before warming back into the middle 70s through the afternoon under mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies.
As an area of low pressure pulls away from the coast of Maine, high pressure from the Midwest will take more control of our weather over the next couple of days to provide a nice dose of sunshine and seasonable conditions.
Temperatures Monday night will turn a little cooler under mostly clear skies with overnight lows bottoming out in the upper 40s to near 50 degrees. The influence of high pressure, however, will provide plenty of sunshine through most of the day on Tuesday, allowing temperatures to climb back into the low 70s Tuesday afternoon.
By this time, a large area of low pressure will be moving through the Great Lakes, spreading a large area of rain into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. The chance for rain begins to increase Tuesday night, with widespread light to moderate showers likely through the day Wednesday. During this time, a coastal low-pressure system will develop to our south, which will reinforce the chance of rain but also pump in much cooler air from the northeast for Wednesday and Thursday.
Temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon will likely struggle to climb out of the 50s, with overnight lows remaining around 50 degrees. On and off showers will persist through Thursday, with rain becoming a little more scattered on Friday. At this time, while rain will likely be widespread for the better part of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, total rain accumulation looks to be between 1 and 1.5 inches, preventing any real concern for flooding.

Wildfire Near San Bernardino Mountains Prompts Evacuation Orders
A wildfire that started on Tuesday afternoon north of the San Bernardino Mountains had exploded to 2,000 acres by nighttime, driven by high winds and low humidity, officials said. It had prompted evacuation orders and was threatening multiple properties, officials said. The vegetation fire was threatening multiple buildings in and around Apple Valley, a town of about 75,000 people about 60 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Firefighters were battling to contain the blaze, which was zero percent contained on Tuesday night. The San Bernardino Sheriff's Department issued an evacuation order for an area about four miles wide on the edge of the town, warning of an extreme threat to life. A number of ranches appeared to be within the evacuation zone. The fire broke out at about 2:30 p.m., according to Cal Fire, and its cause was under investigation. 'Fire behavior has intensified due to shifting weather conditions, including increasing winds and low humidity, contributing to rapid fire spread,' Cal Fire said in a statement. The area was experiencing wind gust of about 22 miles per hour on Tuesday night, according to the Weather Service.

Thunderstorms bringing rain, hail and winds up to 60 mph may be headed to Boise
Grab your umbrellas, Boise! Weather experts are forecasting wind, rain and hail this week. Les Colin, a Boise-based National Weather Service meteorologist, said there is a 20 to 30% chance of a thunderstorm hitting the Boise area Tuesday evening, with a nearly 60% chance of a larger storm hitting Wednesday. 'It looks like there are going to be thunderstorms that are going to form first in southeast Oregon, and the outflow from those storms could go all the way over to here,' Colin told the Idaho Statesman by phone on Tuesday morning. Colin expects the first storm to hit sometime after 5 p.m. Tuesday evening and last through 11 p.m. The Tuesday storm would most likely be dry, bringing high winds and blowing dust up to 60 mph, but no rain, according to the meteorologist. The National Weather Service predicts the Wednesday storm to be more significant, with rain, gusty winds and hail. Colin predicted that second storm would begin after 2 p.m. and last through sunset. Colin said if the thunderstorm's path moves in such a way as to directly hit Boise, it could bring up to half an inch of rain. However, Colin said a direct hit is unlikely, and Boise is expected to see measurements closer to 0.1 to 0.2 inches of rain. Experts at the National Weather Service are weighing whether to issue a flash flood warning for Wednesday. The biggest areas of concern are places where recent wildfires left a burn scar. National Weather Service meteorologist Spencer Tangen said the burn scars left by the Wapiti Fire near Grandjean and Stanley are of particular concern. He warned people planning to camp or drive near those areas to be aware of the risks from debris flow. Hot wildfires can cause soil to become hydrophobic, meaning the soil can't absorb water anymore, Tangen explained. 'Basically, water just kind of runs off the soil and will wash out a thin layer of dirt that's developed on top of that burned hydrophobic layer,' Tangen said by phone. 'That makes it so that you can get debris flows and flash flooding much easier, because the ground can't absorb the water.' The National Weather Service said a trough — an elongated area of relatively low atmospheric pressure — coming in off the Pacific Ocean is causing this stormy weather to begin forming in Oregon. After Wednesday, it's sunny skies and above-average temperatures ahead for the Treasure Valley. 'The rest of the week, it should be dry and pretty hot, actually,' Colin said. 'It will continue to be about 5 to 10 degrees hotter than normal, which would put it close to 90 degrees for highs, similar to what you would expect in the first week or so of July.'
