Sunny with highs near 40 in Philadelphia Sunday, clear skies for Eagles kickoff at the Linc
Sometimes it's good to be average and today that is exactly what our weather is. The normal high today is 41, which is what's on tap for Sunday. Skies will be mostly sunny and winds will be light from the west. Overall, a picture perfect winter day.
By tonight clouds will stream into the area ahead of a cold front dropping out of the upper Midwest. Lows will drop to the mid-20s, which, by the way, is also average for this time of year.
Tomorrow the cold front will bump into a ridge of high pressure over the region and will be re-routed north around the ridge, leaving us dry with a mix of sun and clouds. That said, there may be a few stray flurries or sprinkles north and west of the city as the front passes in the afternoon. Highs will be above average in the low to mid 40s.
