Discussion
The warm up that began here on Tuesday reached its peak yesterday with temperatures reaching into the 70’s and today will remain unseasonably warm, but colder air is on the way for the Philly metro region. Low pressure will track northeast across the Great Lakes today and will drag a cold front through the region paving the way for a much cooler weekend. In fact, temperatures later tonight will drop into the lower 30's to go along with a stiff NW wind and they'll hold at or below 50 degrees for afternoon highs on Saturday. Another low pressure system could produce a bit of precipitation around here early next week and it could be just cold enough for a bit of a wintry mix. One final note, clocks will need to be turned ahead early Sunday morning as we switch back to daylight savings time.
