Cooler in Philadelphia Monday, tracking wintry mix Tuesday before warmer weather arrives midweek
After hitting 60 on Saturday, the cold filtered in Sunday and is in full force on Monday.
NEXT weather change
That same system lifts back north tomorrow and will bring some messy conditions for the morning commute. Precipitation may start as light snow or freezing rain before temperatures warm above freezing.
We have issued a NEXT Weather Alert for tomorrow's morning commute due to some ice accumulation and even light snow before the changeover.
A winter weather advisory is in effect for the threat of snow (a coating to 1 inch), changing over to a period of freezing rain (ice accumulation of about 0.01 inch) and then to rain by midday. Road conditions may be slippery during the Tuesday morning commute. Here are the timelines for the advisory:
- New Castle and Salem counties: 3-8 a.m.
- Gloucester, Camden, northwestern Burlington, Delaware, Philadelphia counties: 5-9 a.m.
- Berks, Lehigh, Northampton, Bucks, Chester, Mercer, Montgomery counties: 5-11 a.m.
This will mainly impact untreated surfaces north and west of the city, but could impact the city itself. As of now, it doesn't look like we'll see enough ice to prompt any power outage concerns.
The rest of the week will be milder with highs returning to the 50s, but the warmer weather comes with shower chances each day. By the weekend, we are heading to the 60s and possibly even 70s!
