Above-freezing high temperatures continue in Philadelphia area. Here's the weather forecast.
Temperatures in the Philadelphia area warm above freezing each day through Saturday to the mid and upper 30s and low 40s possible for some. Overnight lows will be milder, too, with lows in the 20s and 30s through the remainder of the week.
Once again Wednesday, we'll chase the low 40s, which is seasonable for this time of year, but breezy winds at times will make it feel like the low and middle 30s for most of the afternoon. We could see gusts up to 40 mph.
While the above-freezing daytime temperatures will allow some snow and ice to melt, the overnight freezes will produce a daily risk for icy morning conditions.
NEXT big change
Another day of more seasonable temperatures and finally the chance to start melting the snow piles.
Temps will warm to the mid-40s this afternoon, but winds are picking up, drawing in colder air from the northwest and making it feel about 10 degrees colder than it is.
We will be near 40 over the next two days, a little cooler but still not terrible, with a good deal of sun, especially Friday.
While the above-freezing daytime temperatures will allow for some snow and ice to melt, the overnight freezes will produce a daily risk for icy morning conditions.
Will we see rain or snow next weekend?
Looking ahead to Valentine's Day on Saturday, temps are trending milder with a high near 50 under mostly sunny skies. A system looks to cut by to the south Sunday, bringing the potential for rain late in the day or at night.
Models are back and forth a bit with this, with some developing a stronger system off the coast, but it looks likely that it will be mainly rain with temperatures near 50 on Sunday and into the low 50s Monday.
