Spring officially begins Friday in Philadelphia region, tracking evening rain. Here's the weather forecast.
Friday in the Philadelphia region starts on the colder side, but in the late afternoon, you can shed a few layers for just a light sweatshirt (perhaps) and an umbrella!
Spring officially begins Friday with the vernal equinox at 10:46 a.m., and we'll have the weather to match.
The temperature will climb into the mid-60s, and rain will enter the area for your Friday evening commute.
If you have any outdoor plans, there will likely be rain during the evening hours, so keep that in mind.
NEXT big weather changes
After the showers Friday night, we're set for a fantastic first weekend of spring.
The rain comes to an end Friday night with a warm front lifting back into Saturday morning, setting the stage for a pretty nice weekend with highs climbing into the 60s again on Saturday.
By Sunday, it'll feel pretty warm — close to 70 degrees for a lot of the area — before another front brings showers Sunday night.
Then it cools back down on Monday, and by Tuesday, it turns colder again with below-normal temps returning.
While it's possible we could have some more snow, it's not likely, and after 30-plus inches of snow this winter, we believe most of us are good with that!
However, we do need to monitor the forecast models for Tuesday, March 31 — just saying.
