Cloudy, cool Thursday in Philadelphia region with chance of isolated showers. Here's the weather forecast.
Thursday will continue the below-normal stretch of weather we've been having as of late with temperatures running at least 10 degrees below average in the low 50s in the Philadelphia region. Highs should be in the low 60s this time of year when looking at the 30-year normal.
There will be cloudy skies and isolated showers on Thursday as the first of two disturbances crosses our area. By Friday, the second disturbance arrives, pushing a warm front and showers through the Delaware Valley in the morning. Scattered showers are possible during the day, but it is in the evening that we see heavier rain develop and continue at a steady pace overnight and through at least mid-Saturday morning.
A NEXT Weather Alert is up for Friday evening to Saturday morning due to steady rain and the travel impacts for those beginning spring break and Easter week.
It will be a cold rain with temperatures both Friday and Saturday in the upper 40s and low 50s. Finally, we start to dry out and warm up on Sunday with sun peeking through the clouds and highs near 60.
