Discussion
For the first time in quite awhile, temperatures climbed above freezing on Tuesday and actually made it all the way into the 40’s throughout the Philly metro region. A cold frontal system, however, passed through in the overnight hours and has ushered in slightly colder air for today and highs are likely to be confined to the upper 30’s. However, a noticeable warm up is coming for the next couple of days with 50 degrees possible for highs on Thursday afternoon and then we may make a run at the 60 degree mark for Friday's highs. The warm up will come with some occasional rainfall, however, and some of it will be heavy at times. The rain looks like it will tend to be concentrated in two separate time periods: Thursday night and Friday night. Colder air arrives on Saturday and temperatures by Sunday will struggle to reach 30 degrees.
