In wake of a weekend with low humidity and comfortable weather, heat and humidity will make a return in a big way this week.
"The hottest weather of the year will spread from the Ohio Valley to the mid-Atlantic states Tuesday into Wednesday," Expert Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said.
Initially, it will become warmer and more humid on Monday.
Monday's warmth will be followed by the hottest weather of the year on Tuesday and Wednesday, when highs reach the low 90s.
The high humidity accompanying the heat will push AccuWeather RealFeel® temperatures into the mid-90s during the afternoons.
Philadelphia has not reached 90 so far this year. The latest Philadelphia has hit the 90-degree mark was June 23, 2003, when the high was 92.

Limit your outdoor activities and seek shade or air conditioning when possible during the peak of the heat. Keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
Relief will also come from some cooling showers and thunderstorms which will be most prevalent during the afternoons and evenings Tuesday and Wednesday.
A high pressure system over the Southeast will be responsible for the upcoming hot weather. The extreme heat will gradually fade later this week as this high begins to weaken.
