Chilly and breezy New Year's Day in Philadelphia. Here's the weather forecast.
A quick burst of snow fell around the Philadelphia region early Thursday morning as an Arctic cold front pushed through.
Temperatures are gradually dropping through the day despite mostly sunny skies as the colder air rushes in from the northwest.
While temperatures gradually drop through the upper 20s today, it'll feel like the teens or low 20s thanks to gusty westerly wind around 30-35 mph.
The wind will begin to relax a little Thursday night, but it'll still be quite chilly with low temperatures in the low 20s, still feeling like the teens — if not the single digits.
NEXT big weather change
The cold trend will continue through the weekend, with high temperatures remaining in the mid-upper 30s and low temperatures in the low-middle 20s.
Next week will start off chilly with 20s in the morning and highs in the middle 30s, but the 40s will return by Tuesday.
In fact, a warmer trend looks to lead us through the majority of next week with high temperatures running near or even slightly warmer than normal.
High temperatures next Wednesday will be in the upper 40s, but it'll also come with a chance for a few scattered showers.
