Cloudy weekend weather with rain showers in Philadelphia area; chance of heavy rain Monday
Expect a damp weekend with passing spotty showers before heavier rain falls on Monday for your morning commute.
There are showers in the Philadelphia area Saturday as the temperature gets into the 50s. Expect more clouds and showers Sunday.
By Sunday night, another dynamic storm system approaches, and a few isolated gusty storms along with pockets of heavy rain are possible after midnight and into the early morning commute on Monday. We have issued a NEXT Weather Alert for Monday to keep you aware.
This approaching system is putting other parts of the country like the Gulf Coast and the South under severe weather risk. The latest models from the Storm Prediction Center don't put the Philadelphia region under a risk of severe weather, but we're keeping an eye on this as updates come out.
The last few outlooks have moved north each day, so this bears watching.
Behind this storm, on Monday, very cold air rushes into the region. Let's call it a mini-polar push. Highs will only reach into the 40s in the city and struggle to reach the 40s to the north and west. Overnight lows will hover near freezing or below Monday through Wednesday nights, with wind chill temps Wednesday morning in the 20s and maybe the teens.
This chill will last through Wednesday with a slow warm-up to near 60 by late next week, with another potential weather maker to arrive on Friday.
