Discussion

After a very chilly and wet Saturday and Sunday, the holiday weekend closed out on a nice note with the return of sunshine and much milder conditions. High temperatures over the weekend were confined to the lower 50’s in much of the Philly metro region – some 25 degrees below normal for late May – but they did rebound nicely on Monday. It’ll remain much closer to seasonal warmth during the next few days and a frontal system promises to bring us more beneficial rainfall during the second half of the week. Looking ahead, it looks like it’ll get quite warm this weekend with highs likely to be well up in the 80’s on both days.
