Cecily Tynan’s Official Weather Forecast for Be Well Philly Boot Camp

It probably wouldn’t surprise you to hear that every year, when we begin planning Be Well Philly Boot Camp, we have a conversation about the weather — the what ifs, the backup plans, the what-the-heck-will-we-dos when it comes to planning an event, half of which takes place outside, on an early summer weekend.

It also probably wouldn’t surprise you to hear that each and every year, our conclusion to this conversation is, Eh, screw it. And so, we take our chances, plowing ahead with our best-laid plans.

What this means is for the week leading up to the big day, we all sit around secretly checking our weather apps and obsessing over each and every bit of weather-related minutiae. We’ve been enormously blessed with perfect weather each and every year for this event, but I have to say, this spring’s wet-and-wild ride has left more than a few of us biting our nails. (Read: me.)

That’s why I reached out to 6 ABC weather guru Cecily Tynan yesterday to ask her straight-up what we can expect on Saturday from good ol’ Mother Nature. I was secretly hoping she’d tell me it would all be sunshine and rainbows.

Well, guess what, friends. It’s pretty darn close. 

“You definitely picked the BETTER of the two days this weekend,” Cecily wrote to me in an email this afternoon. “Sunday looks wet and stormy, but Saturday will be mainly dry.” It was at this precise moment that I breathed an enormous sigh of relief.

Here’s Cecily’s detailed weather breakdown for Boot Camp:

A cold front passing through Friday evening will linger close enough to the south to toss some clouds our way, but only the chance of an isolated shower or two (most of this activity should stay south of Philadelphia.) So, expect clouds mixing with breaks of sunshine. Temperatures will  hover around 70 degrees for the 9 a.m. start, warming into the low 80s by 2. So, be prepared to sweat. I suggest a moisture-wicking tank and shorts for your day of fitness (along with plenty of water.) Overall, Mother Nature will cooperate with the Be Well Philly Boot Camp. So, you can’t use the weather as an excuse to miss out on a great day of fitness. Have fun!

I have to tell you, I’ve never loved this woman more than I do right now. Thank you, Cecily, and, you know, Mother Nature. We certainly will have fun!
