Perfect autumn stretch ahead in Philadelphia region. Here's the weather forecast.
Thursday in the Philadelphia region will start out chilly with widespread low temps in the mid-low 40s with high temps only expected to reach the mid-60s during the afternoon under sunny skies. Despite sunny and blue skies, a chill will stay with us throughout the day and into the evening. A steady breeze will send more leaving falling to the ground.
A similar pattern will be with us on Friday as well, with temperatures even cooler in the morning. It won't be quite freezing, but widespread temperatures will be in the upper 30s and low 40s. Friday night will bring perfect high school football weather, with clear skies and temperatures in the 40s—you'll want to bring a jacket and maybe some gloves.
A perfect autumn stretch is ahead before temperatures bounce back this weekend.
It's time to mention that the average first freeze in Philly is on Nov. 11. Last year, the first freeze was pretty late on Nov. 30, but in 2023 our first freeze occurred on Nov. 13. Either way, freezing temps are close. Time to book your sprinkler blowout for the next several weeks.
The weekend will be warming up as our NEXT Weather maker approaches. Saturday will be near 70, while Sunday will feature increasing clouds, southerly winds and temperatures in the mid-upper 70s. Sunday night into early Monday morning will bring our next round of showers and possibly a thunderstorm or two. Most should be during the overnight hours, but we will update you as the system moves closer.
After that, we'll have another chance of rain next Wednesday.
