Seasonable fall weather Friday in Philadelphia, tracking rain this weekend. Here's the weather forecast.
Your Friday is shaping up to be a nice end to the week in the Philadelphia area. Sunshine and chilly temps will start the day, but seasonably mild temps with increasing clouds will end it. The normal high this time of year is 57 degrees, and we'll be pretty close to that.
It will still be a bit blustery, with wind gusts to 25 mph in the afternoon.
Friday night football games will be chilly but dry; however, we are tracking our next chance of rain for this weekend as another front approaches. Skies will be clouding over quickly Saturday, with showers arriving by late afternoon or early evening. Expect scattered rain and a thunderstorm Saturday night and conditions should be clearing before Sunday morning.
While the total rainfall won't be a lot, we are expecting widespread totals up to half an inch, perhaps higher in spots, but flooding conditions are unlikely. As the front clears, temps may warm early Sunday to near 60 degrees, but that will likely occur during the morning before falling during the day with gusty northwest winds, which may affect your Eagles tailgating festivities.
By kickoff time, the temps will be in the mid-low 40s with feels-like temps in the 30s, so be sure to have the layers if you're headed to the Linc.
Once again, Monday will be a breezy and chilly day with wind chills in the mid-low 40s and winds gusting to 30 mph. Not quite as windy and cold as this past Monday but noticeable for sure! Another few dry days are expected next week.
