Unsettled weather and a touch of humidity will hold around Philadelphia before a stretch of sunny, dry and less humid conditions move in at midweek.
An area of low pressure will remain off the coast of the Northeast into Monday, but spotty showers and thunderstorms will attempt to move in from the Atlantic Coast into parts of the Northeast.

These showers and storms should stay to the east of the city to end the weekend.
A cold front will swing toward the East Coast at early week, bringing with it the threat for a shower or thunderstorm.
According to AccuWeather Meteorologist Ed Vallee, "Warm, muggy conditions will invade the city with daytime high temperatures approaching 90 F."

"The approaching front will spark showers and thunderstorms, mainly on Monday evening" he added.
These storms are expected to remain below severe limits but could contain gusty winds and brief downpours.
"The front will slow down significantly Monday night along the I-95 corridor allowing the shower/storm chance to last into Tuesday," Vallee said.
Weather delays are possible on Monday night as the Phillies begin a four-game set at home against the New York Mets.
After the passage of the cold front, a stretch of refreshing weather looks to take hold into the weekend.
