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.
This weekend looks sunny and warm, with highs in the mid- to upper-80s.
With no major storm systems in the forecast, it's a good time to enjoy the milder air while it lasts.
All in all, it's a refreshing midweek break from the July heat, and a calm, gradual warm-up into the weekend.
Thursday: Partly cloudy. High 83, Low 67.
Friday: Mostly sunny. High 83, Low 64.
Saturday: Sunny. High 86, Low 62.

Crews battle fire at battery storage facility in South Los Angeles

A fire at a battery storage facility in South Los Angeles turned into a tough battle for crews early Sunday morning. According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, the blaze was reported at 4:33 a.m. at 16208 South Vermont Street, adjacent to the border between L.A. and the city of Gardena. The LAFD initially entered a defensive firefighting mode due to large battery storage and a subterranean electrical vault in the building. Large amounts of the battery storage was burning off as of 9 a.m., creating an issue for firefighters and the nearby community, the LAFD said. Hazmat specialists were on site as of 8 a.m. to monitor the air quality and water runoff. The L.A. Department of Water and Power was on-scene working to de-energize the structure. As of 9 a.m., no evacuations have been ordered for nearby businesses and residences. The LAFD said the primary goal of the fight was to keep the fire contained to the building of origin. No additional details were immediatley made available.

Flooding cancels last day of Wisconsin State Fair as authorities make water rescues in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Flash flooding canceled the final day of the Wisconsin State Fair on Sunday as continued heavy rainfall in half a dozen Midwest states led to water rescues, power outages and road closures. Organizers of the Wisconsin State Fair said they were canceling the final day of the 11-day event after rains flooded the fairgrounds in West Allis, which is just outside Milwaukee. 'We are saddened we cannot deliver this final day of the Wisconsin State Fair, but know that this is the best decision with current conditions and the forecast ahead,' organizers said in a statement. The National Weather Service issued flood watches and warnings for parts of Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin. After rainfall began on Saturday in some areas forecasters predicted 'repeated rounds of heavy rain,' along with hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes on Sunday. Among the worst hit was the Milwaukee area, where as many as 10 inches (25 centimeters) of rain had fallen in some areas by early Sunday. Nearly 47,000 customers of We Energies lost power in southeast Wisconsin. USA Triathlon also canceled its Sprint and Paratriathlon National Championships in Milwaukee, where thousands of athletes were expected to participate. Firefighters responded to over 600 calls including for gas leaks, electrical outages and water rescues, according to the Milwaukee Fire Department. Meanwhile, city crews worked overnight to clear surface water. 'Please continue to avoid flooded areas and do not walk or drive through standing water," the City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works pleaded in a statement. "It remains dangerous.' On Saturday, strong winds led to the death of one person in eastern Nebraska after a tree fell on a woman's car. In the state capital of Lincoln, the storms damaged two housing units at the Nebraska State Penitentiary, displacing 387 prisoners, the state Department of Correctional Services said. The agency said all staff and incarcerated individuals were safe and accounted for.
