Discussion
It’ll turn much milder today as high pressure pushes off the east coast and low-level winds become southerly. The warm up will accentuate on Wednesday as high temperatures climb past the 70 degree mark in the Philly metro region. Unfortunately, this mid-week warm up will be accompanied by occasional showers and thunderstorms as a strong cold front approaches from the northwest. In fact, some of the storms that form later tomorrow can be on the strong-to-severe side – much like this past Saturday with damaging wind gusts the main weather threat. It’ll turn colder later in the week following the passage of the cold frontal system and a “clipper” system could generate some light snow or rain around here on Friday.
