Cloudy, cool Saturday in Philadelphia region with wet snow mix in Poconos ahead of warmup
Saturday's weather in the Philadelphia region will feel more like late January, rather than mid-April. Couple that with overcast skies, and it will be a great day to spend time inside.
It will be a gray, chilly, breezy day, but don't forget to carry the umbrella. Scattered showers are expected throughout the day, and a few more snowflakes are still possible in the Poconos.
Temperatures across the area will be 20 degrees or more below average in the upper 30s and low 40s. The normal high today is 63 degrees.
Saturday night will be cloudy and breezy with drizzle.
By Sunday, the rain will be gone, and it will be less breezy. Expect clouds to start the day and sunshine in the afternoon. Best of all, temperatures rebound to near 60.
It's even warmer by Monday, with temperatures in the mid-60s to near 70s with a mix of sun and clouds. Another disturbance passes the area Monday night and early Tuesday with a chance of showers. It also knocks the temperatures back a few degrees into the low and mid-60s. We end next week with a chance of rain, too.
Don't be quick to complain about the rain, though, because all of the recent rain has been beneficial in ending the extreme drought conditions for South Jersey. The area of severe drought across the remainder of the Delaware Valley is also considerably smaller. We are now at average and slightly above for rainfall since Jan. 1, 2025.
