Weather: Great End To The Week

By Geoff Bansen

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Much like Thursday, Friday will be another great day. Bright sunshine and lower humidity will make for a pleasant end to the work week, with highs in the mid 80s.

Highs:
Philly -- 85
Shore -- 80
Poconos -- 75

The weekend in one word? 'Okay'. We're not expecting any precipitation, but there will be lots of clouds around, as a disturbance lurks to out south. However, there will likely also be a peeks of sun, more so on Sunday.

We have only seen 0.05" of rain on weekends since the start of June, a stat likely to remain unchanged.

Looking ahead to next week, the heat and humidity returns, with a shot of showers and thunderstorms by midweek.

Have a great weekend!
