Philadelphia weather: Sunny start, clouds increase before quick wintry mix moves thru Thursday

NEXT Weather: Seasonably cool week, chance for Saturday AM snow

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A cold evening gives way to a sunny start to Thursday, with high temperatures slightly below average and barely reaching the low 40s across the Delaware Valley.

But clouds will build up around noon in advance of a fast-moving clipper system that could bring a few light showers starting around 6 p.m. Some snow could also mix in up around the Poconos.

The system will start to clear out around 10 p.m. Once that front crosses the area, wind gusts pick up around midnight and strengthen through the first half of Friday, so expect a blustery day to wrap up the work week.

A second, slightly stronger winter system moves in overnight and into Saturday morning.

This storm could is another quick hitter that will clear out around 9 a.m. Saturday, but could drop between 1-2 inches of snow in Philadelphia and along the I-95 corridor, with higher totals likely from  across South Jersey and into Delaware. The Lehigh Valley and Poconos are looking at a trace to 1 inch of snow with this system.

It clears out by Saturday afternoon, but with highs in the upper 30s and near 40, any snow on the ground won't stick around for too long.
