Chilly Saturday, pleasant weather ahead for holiday travel in Philadelphia region. Here's the forecast.
The mornings will be very cold this weekend, so it's back to the heavy winter gear, which you'll likely need all day Saturday as temps will barely get out of the 30s.
By Sunday it's a bit warmer but the breezes will pick up ahead of another front so chills stay in the 30s. No umbrellas needed.
NEXT big weather change: rollercoaster temps ahead
Temps will be a bit up and down over the next few days. A chilly Saturday will yield to a milder Sunday and the weekend looks dry, but we'll be back to highs only in the 30s Monday.
That said, conditions look tranquil for travel toward the Christmas holiday with just the off chance of a rain or snow shower by Tuesday of next week and more showers possible on Christmas morning, but nothing like this past Sunday. The only potential next change to watch for will be the one on Tuesday.
Forecast models continue to show a fairly weak system passing by to the north. But if things strengthen and drop farther south we could be talking about a little snow but the chances of that are fairly low. Our "white Christmas" was this past Sunday with widespread accumulating snow.
