Sunny with highs in the 50s Sunday in Philadelphia, tracking warmer weather and rain chances this week
The day started off chilly – even cold, with some areas seeing temperatures below freezing Sunday morning. But there will be plenty of sunshine earlier in the day before a few more scattered clouds develop through the afternoon.
Winds will kick up out of the southwest during the day at 10-20 mph, with some gusts over 25. This southerly wind, however, will help to warm things up back to where we should be, in the mid to upper 50s for late March.
NEXT big change
Monday gets close to 70, but clouds will start to build, and a few showers move in late, mainly overnight into Tuesday morning.
The warm air keeps flowing in through Tuesday and Wednesday with highs pushing toward 80 by midweek.
Then Wednesday evening, a cold front swings in from the northwest, bringing another round of showers and possibly a few thunderstorms.
Behind it, cooler air settles in for the second half of the week. Highs drop back into the 50s, maybe even some 40s, with an unsettled feel and a few more shower chances Thursday into Friday.
