A pleasant and sunny day on tap for Philadelphia region Friday. Here's the weather forecast.
Today is mostly pleasant after a cold start, returning to the 60s with sun and high clouds. A band of rain showers will cross the region overnight, mainly between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., but the weekend starts nice with sun and mild temps Saturday.
Saturday is shaping up to be the nicer of the two weekend days, as rain is likely on Sunday, mainly in the afternoon and evening, as a much stronger system approaches from the Northwest. This is going to bring our first "real" shot of winter air, perhaps even reaching the freezing mark in the city. The average first occurrence of that is on Nov. 11 in Philly, so we're on target.
Next week: COLD! Highs Monday and Tuesday will only stay in the mid-upper 40s with widespread freezing temps likely by Tuesday morning, and when you add the breeze to the mix, wind chill temps by Tuesday morning will likely dip into the 20s and possibly some teens in spots.
If you haven't broken out the cold-weather gear yet, this weekend will be the time to do it.
