Scattered showers, thunderstorms expected Monday in Philadelphia region. Here's the weather forecast.
Clouds will increase overnight, and there's a chance for some patchy light fog or mist to develop across the Philadelphia area. A stalled front lifts north as a warm front Monday, placing the region into a warmer, more unstable air mass. Mostly sunny skies will allow temperatures to rise into the upper 80s to near 90, with heat indices approaching 94–95 degrees. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected during the afternoon, driven by increased instability and a strengthening mid-level flow. While severe weather potential is limited by marginal shear, a few stronger storms with damaging wind gusts or localized flash flooding are possible. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a marginal risk (1/5) for severe storms. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue Monday night as the warm front pushes north. Lows will range from the upper 60s to mid-70s. CBS News Philadelphia Tuesday brings a more active setup. The region will be fully in the warm sector with highs in the low 80s to low 90s and dew points in the 70s — supporting strong instability. A strengthening upper-level trough will push a cold front through the area later in the day. If morning clouds and convection clear in time, conditions will support strong to severe storms. The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of the region in a slight risk (2/5) for severe thunderstorms, with damaging wind gusts as the main threat. Alongside the severe threat, there's also a risk for localized flash flooding. PWAT values between 2.0–2.5 inches and deep warm cloud layers will support heavy rainfall rates, especially if storms train over the same area. Delmarva is under a slight risk (2/4) for excessive rainfall, with a marginal risk (1/4) elsewhere. CBS News Philadelphia The cold front slows as it moves through Tuesday night, with lingering showers possible through Wednesday morning, especially near coastal areas. Lows Tuesday night will be in the 60s to low 70s. An upper-level trough lingers over the Northeast into the weekend. While Wednesday and Thursday will be warm, humidity will drop slightly behind the front. Most of Wednesday looks dry, with only a slight chance for showers Thursday near and northwest of I-78 as a weak front moves through. Friday and Saturday look pleasant. High pressure will settle over the region with mostly sunny skies, highs in the 80s, and comfortable dew points in the low to mid 60s. It's shaping up to be a nice holiday weekend. Here's your 7-day forecast: CBS News Philadelphia Monday: Scattered p.m. storms. High 88, Low 73. Tuesday: NEXT Weather Alert for storms. High 89, Low 76. Wednesday: Sun, few clouds. High 88, Low 72.

Tropical Storm Barry to make landfall soon in eastern Mexico
June 29 (UPI) -- Tropical Storm Barry was nearing the eastern Gulf Coast of Mexico on Sunday evening, and was expected to bring heavy rains and flash flooding to the North American nation over the next few days. Barry was located about 60 miles southeast of Tampico, on Mexico's eastern coast, in the Gulf of Mexico, with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, the National Hurricane Center said in its 7 p.m. CDT update. It was moving northwest at 8 mph and was on track to make landfall in the next few hours, before moving inland over eastern Mexico Sunday night. A tropical storm warning is in effect for the Gulf Coast of Mexico from Boca de Catan southward to Tecolutla. It is not expected to intensify much more before making landfall, and weakening is forecast to begin shortly after it moves inland, according to a NHC discussion on the storm. "The primary impact with Barry remains heavy rainfall and flash flooding for the upslope areas of eastern Mexico," the NHC said. Between 3 and 6 inches of rainfall are expected with isolated maximum totals of 10 inches across the Mexican states of Veracruz, San Luis Potosi and Tamaulipas through Monday, the forecasters said. "This rainfall may produce life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas of steep terrain," it said. Tropical Storm Barry is the second named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is forecasting between 13 and 19 total named storms for this year.

Hurricane center says tropical system could target Florida while Tropical Storm Barry forms near Mexico
While Tropical Storm Barry formed in Gulf waters off of Mexico on Sunday, the National Hurricane Center began forecasting the season's next potential tropical system could form and threaten Florida. In its 8 a.m. tropical outlook the NHC said an area of low pressure from a remnant frontal boundary could develop near the end of this week near either the southeastern U.S. Atlantic of Gulf coasts. Its bubble of potential development sweeps across all of Central Florida. 'Some gradual tropical or subtropical development could occur thereafter as it drifts slowly just off the U.S. coastline,' forecasters said. The NHC gave it a 20% chance for development in the next seven days. The National Weather Service in Melbourne said expect a high chance of rain no matter what forms around the Fourth of July and into that weekend. 'The evolution of this stalled boundary and any features that it may help produce remains very low confidence and bears watching. However, the overall forecast thinking remains the same, regardless: high coverage of showers and storms looks to continue each afternoon and evening into next weekend, as deep moisture lingers,' NWS forecasters said. If it were to develop into a named storm, it could become Tropical Storm Chantal. That's because the second named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season formed Sunday morning in the Bay of Campeche off of the Mexican coast. As of 11 a.m., the center of Barry was located about 90 miles east-southeast of Tuxpan and 165 miles southeast of Tampico, Mexico with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph moving northwest at 6 mph. Tropical-storm-force winds extend out 35 miles. A tropical storm warning remained in effect for the Gulf coast of Mexico from Boca de Catan southward to Tecolutla. 'On the forecast track, the storm is expected to make landfall and then move inland over eastern Mexico later today or tonight,' forecasters said. 'A little more intensification is forecast before the system reaches the coast of eastern Mexico. Rapid weakening is expected after the system moves inland.' The system is forecast to drop 3-6 inches with some areas getting up to 10 inches across the Mexican states of Veracruz, San Luis Potosi and Tamaulipas through Monday. 'This rainfall may produce life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas of steep terrain,' the NHC stated. The slow start of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season did not see the first named storm form last week. What would have been Tropical Storm Andrea remained out in the middle of the Atlantic, where it spun for less than a day with no threat to land. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, though, still forecasts this year 13 to 19 named storms this year, of which 6-10 will become hurricanes. Three to five of those are predicted to grow into major hurricanes of Category 3 strength or higher. Hurricane season runs through Nov. 30. _____
