Philadelphia Weather: Warmup On The Way As Area To See Several Days In The 50's

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - The day we've all been waiting for... we are off to a clear start and a noticeable breeze. Highs Wednesday afternoon will climb above average and into the mid 50's.

A forecast high of 54 degrees in Philly would be the mildest reading in over five weeks.

Sunshine and snow-free conditions will dominate through the remainder of the workweek and considerable snow melting weather will occur. Though a passing rain shower is possible Wednesday night.

The weekend looks active with a storm system lifting in on Saturday. Rain showers are likely though models are differing a bit on the robustness and the timing of the system which will determine how soggy the day will be. Snow mixing with rain is possible, mainly N/W at onset late Friday night or Saturday morning. Sunday during the day looks dry with a chance of rain materializing Sunday night.
