A warm front will push north through the region Friday night, bringing a surge of warmth that will keep low temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s. From there, temperatures will climb even higher than Friday, with highs across the region in the upper 70s to lower 80s under mostly cloudy skies. It'll also remain breezy throughout the day Saturday, with southwesterly winds of 10-15 mph, gusting to 30 mph at times.
A cold front will approach from the northwest Saturday evening and produce a small chance for a few stray showers, but mainly over the Lehigh Valley and Poconos. As the cold front sweeps through the Delaware Valley toward the coast, it'll be mainly rain-free, only opening up a slightly cooler flow out of the west and northwest for Easter Sunday.
Temperatures on Sunday morning will start in the upper 50s to near 60 degrees before warming back to around 70 degrees Sunday afternoon. Overall, Easter Sunday looks very nice with just a little more cloud cover hanging around through the day.
Into next week, temperatures will be seasonable, with highs in the mid-60s on Monday afternoon. Another cold front will offer a small chance of showers Monday night. That cold front will then usher in a string of great days for the middle of next week, with high temperatures in the mid-70s under partly cloudy skies.
