Sunny skies with highs near 65 in Philadelphia Monday, mild weather continues thru the week
The pattern has switched! Get ready to spring directly into... well, SPRING! We are forecast above average temperatures every day in the week ahead. Sunshine will prevail Monday and Tuesday with partly to mostly cloudy skies Wednesday and Thursday. We end the week sunny on Friday.
Today highs climb to the mid-60s, and with less wind, it'll actually feel like 66 degrees this afternoon.
Tuesday will be the first chance to reach 70-degrees this year. Forecast highs will be 65-70 across the area. The last time we hit 70 was Nov. 11, 2024, and the average first 70 of spring comes on March 12.
A week disturbance slides past on Wednesday and Thursday with just a few more clouds and dropping back to the 50's both days which is still above average.
Looking ahead to next weekend
Gusty thunderstorms and heavy rain are possible next weekend, especially next Sunday.
Saturday will be the nicer day with partly cloudy skies and an isolated shower as a warm front lifts northward over the Delaware Valley. Depending on the speed of the warm front, highs could be close to 70.
Sunday, we await a strong cold front. South winds will push us to the 70s ahead of the front. The timing of the storms is currently Sunday afternoon or evening, but that will likely change as we get more data about the upper air pattern over the week ahead.
The NEXT Weather team will be tracking the chance of severe weather next Sunday. Stay with us for updates throughout the week ahead.
