Weather Authority: Hot, humid weekend slated for region
PHILADELPHIA - Humidity will make seasonable temperatures feel much more intense Friday, as the heat index will reach the mid-90s across the Philadelphia region. A chance of scattered showers could help cool things down.
The heat can be felt in the morning and will continue to grow through the afternoon and into the early evening hours. By 11 a.m. thermometers in Philadelphia will reach 83 and peak at 89. Conditions outside will feel much hotter, as the humidity will manipulate temperatures into the mid-90s by 4 p.m.
Cloud cover could help usher in a pop-up shower by early evening. FOX 29's Scott Williams says the most likely time to see some precipitation is between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.
