Summer may be over for the thousands of Philadelphia-area students who head back to school on Tuesday. But the weather isn't ready to call it a season quite yet.
The National Weather Service forecasts warmer weather to return after a Labor Day weekend that saw high temperatures in the upper 70s and lower 80s.
The mercury will hit the upper 80s on Tuesday before returning into the 90s on Wednesday, the first day of school for students across the School District of Philadelphia. Temperatures will the mid-90s by the end of the week.
Here is the forecast for the week:
Tuesday: Partly sunny, with a high near 88. Breezy, with a north wind 14 to 20 mph.
