Windy and cold Black Friday in Philadelphia area, tracking rain and snow. Here's the weather forecast.
The Philadelphia area is waking up to temperatures near or below freezing on Black Friday. Make sure to layer, layer, layer if you're planning any outdoor activities.
Whether Black Friday shopping, tailgating or going into the Linc to catch the Birds, the winds will be gusting to 40 mph and temperatures will likely feel like they are below freezing all day.
As temperatures continue to drop through sunrise and breezy conditions continue it'll feel like the upper teens to low 20s as you get the day started.
Because so many of you will be outside, the NEXT Weather Team has issued a NEXT Weather Alert for Friday due to the cold and wind.
What's NEXT?
Saturday remains unseasonably cold with mostly sunny skies and highs in the low 40s.
A system will move through the region Sunday bringing the chance an initial brief period of snow Sunday morning before changing over to scattered light rain showers through the rest of the day. No local snow accumulation expected.
Sunday will bring our next chance for a few snowflakes early and then more rain during the day. Temps will be slightly warmer but still cool in the upper 40s. We will need to watch the early morning hours though, as there could be a few snowflakes early on if the storm system arrives a bit earlier. No accumulations expected, just a sign that things are changing.
Looking ahead to next week, a coastal low pressure system looks to impact the region Monday night into Tuesday, bringing widespread precipitation to the region. Track and exact details are still unclear, but the region could see some accumulating snow, especially to the northwest. Otherwise, rain looks likely. At this time, the greatest impact will likely be felt Tuesday morning.
The NEXT Weather Team has issued another NEXT Weather Alert for Tuesday.
