Now that Daylight Saving Time has begun, the later hours of daylight will be welcome during the very spring-like week ahead. We're talking above-average daily highs in the 50s, 60s and possibly 70s!

Sunshine will prevail Monday and Tuesday with partly to mostly cloudy skies Wednesday and Thursday, but then we end the week sunny on Friday.

Tuesday will be the first chance to reach 70-degrees this year. Forecast highs will be between 65-70 degrees across the area.

A week disturbance will slide past us on Wednesday and Thursday, bringing with it the chance for spotty rain showers and temperatures back in the 50s both days.

Looking ahead to next weekend

Gusty thunderstorms and heavy rain are also possible next weekend.  

Saturday will be the nicer day with partly cloudy skies and an isolated shower as a warm front lifts northward over the Delaware Valley. Depending on the speed of the warm front, highs could be close to 70.

Sunday, we await a strong cold front. South winds will push us to the 70s ahead of the front. The timing of the storms is currently Sunday afternoon-evening but that will likely change as we get more data about the upper air pattern over the week ahead.
