Mild but rainy week ahead in Philadelphia area. Here's the weather forecast.
Light coats and hoodies will be needed as you head out this morning in the Philadelphia area as the temperatures slowly rise from freezing to the low 40s.
And you can ditch the sunglasses because it will be mainly cloudy. Be careful of any slick spots due to light snow during the overnight hours Sunday night into Monday morning.
NEXT big changes
Finally, a week that will see MOST of the hours (including nighttime) at or above freezing.
In addition, we're tracking rain chances beginning on Wednesday and going each day into the weekend. It's not all periods and not a ton, but rain will be likely at times this week, so keep the umbrella handy.
Washing the car? Do it early in the week because once the roads get wet, the spray will mess it up again quickly. It would be a good idea though, as your car is likely covered in salt and brine.
Our snow depth streak continues with now 22 straight days with both 1+ and 2+ inches of snow on the ground and counting. The all-time record is 30 days.
