Winter warmup in Philadelphia region continues Thursday, tracking rain. Here's the weather forecast.
It will be a great afternoon to be outdoors with milder than average temperatures and light winds. If you have some time to go to the park or even for a walk around your neighborhood, you should!
Sunshine, coupled with high temperatures in the 50s and light winds, should make it feel quite comfortable for this time of year.
NEXT big weather change
We'll likely see a few scattered showers by the time the Friday afternoon ride home from school and evening commute rolls around.
The region will also get some steadier rain Saturday afternoon, so unfortunately, you'll need the umbrellas handy for any outdoor plans. In fact, our high temp Saturday may occur during the evening hours ahead of the cold front when the south winds begin to pick up.
As of now, it looks like the rain will clear in time for the Eagles' wild-card game Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, though early tailgaters might have a few showers to contend with. Temperatures will drop throughout the day, and it will turn quite windy, so if you have tickets, be sure to bundle!
We return to more seasonable temps next week, so don't put your winter gear away.
