Discussion

A cold front will pass through the area later today and its passage will ensure moderately cold conditions for the remainder of the week and weekend. In addition, the winds will pick up today with gusts to 30 mph or so and it’ll stay quite breezy on Thursday as well to go along with the moderately cold conditions. Looking ahead, a storm system will trek across the southern states this weekend and it can impact the Mid-Atlantic region from later Sunday into Monday…potentially with a mixed bag of precipitation and accumulating snow is still on the table. Following the passage of that storm system, a milder weather pattern will kick into gear next week across the northeastern part of the country. One final note, yesterday marked the 16th day in a row with 5” or more at PHL…longest stretch like that since 2010.
