Discussion

A cold front will cross the region today and then a secondary cold front pushes through early Tuesday with high pressure to follow for the mid-week. Temperatures will climb into the middle and upper 60’s later today, but will be confined to the low-to-mid 50’s for highs on Tuesday and perhaps limited to 50 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures late tomorrow night/early Wednesday can drop the lowest levels so far this season with overnight lows near or even slightly below the 30-degree mark. Another frontal system arrives on Thursday and it can bring more showers to the region.

One final note, the record consecutive day dry streak at Philly Intl Airport (PHL) ended yesterday at 42 days…besting the previous record of 29 days set way back in 1874.
