Thursday sees dramatic change in temperatures after record-setting Wednesday. Here's the forecast.
Today sees a dramatic change in temperatures after a record-setting 84 degrees Wednesday in the Philadelphia region. We're going from shorts and T-shirts to needing the light coat Thursday, with afternoon temps only in the upper 40s and low 50s.
After storms last night and some lingering showers this morning, the region will be socked in with clouds and periods of light drizzle Thursday. A cool northeasterly breeze will hold temperatures in the upper 40s to around 50 degrees.
There's a general dampness to the air and ground as well. It'll remain mainly dry Thursday night, but still cloudy and cool with lows in the middle 40s.
NEXT big weather changes
The temperature roller coaster ride continues Friday. After we get off to another cloudy and cool start, temps rebound to near 80 degrees with increasing afternoon sun.
We'll make another run at record-breaking temps Saturday in the low 80s.
By Easter Sunday, another cold front will approach the region with a line of showers and storms developing ahead of it.
Right now, it looks like conditions may start out dry Sunday morning with rain arriving by midday. The rain will start to clear out Sunday evening as the front moves through and begins to usher in drier, but cooler temperatures for next week.
With the way things are looking, it will be a much better day on Saturday to plan your egg hunts outside.
Next week, we'll be back to more normal highs for this time of year, which are in the upper 50s.
