Chilly, cloudy Monday in Philadelphia but warmer air on the way. Here's the weather forecast.

Monday is turning out to be mostly cloudy in the Philadelphia region after the morning began in the 20s. High temperatures won't make it out of the 30s today, but it will creep slightly closer to the average of 42 degrees.

There will be the chance of a few flurries or snow showers through midday, but this won't amount to much, if anything, as far as accumulation.

Finally, what we've been waiting to hear: warmth is on the way. In fact, a warmer trend looks to lead us through most of the week with high temperatures running near or even slightly warmer than normal by Tuesday.

High temperatures Wednesday and Thursday may be in the mid-50s, with overnight lows staying above freezing.

Then again, on Friday and Saturday, we'll see a greater chance for rain and warmer temps as southerly winds usher in the mid-upper 50s and even possibly 60.

The forecast models are wavering a bit on when the rain will arrive, but the trend is more toward Friday night and Saturday. Once the front rolls through, temps will have a steep drop off, so your Sunday is looking significantly cooler than Saturday but dry.

Here's your 7-day forecast:
