Crunchy Grass?

Pottstown was one of the most baked places in the state last month, but if the first five days of August are an indicator of what's to come, the area could see more normal levels of rain.

The borough soaked up 1.53 inches of rain last month, which is roughly 30 percent of the normal water intake for July, said AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Paul Walker said on Friday.

Pottstown was also 6.8 degrees hotter than normal, he said.

But showers and thunderstorms could blanket the area this weekend, he said.

"We're starting to get some rain after having that dry spell," he said. 

But prepare for more heat and humidity, he said. Temperatures are expected to reach 84 degrees Saturday with a low of 70, he said.

"It's going to be a sticky night," he said.

Sunday could also bring a shower or thunderstorm and will reach a high of about 86 degrees, he said.
