Discussion
Our low-level winds will shift from a southeasterly direction to southwesterly today and this will push much milder air into the Philly metro region. It’ll stay quite warm on Friday as well as a cold front approaches the region from the Great Lakes. This warm up will also bring with it scattered showers and possibly a couple of thunderstorms from today into early tomorrow night. Following the cold frontal passage, it’ll turn cooler for the weekend and some rain is likely from late Saturday into Sunday as strong low pressure pulls out of the south-central US and heads towards the Mid-Atlantic coastline.
