Discussion

It’ll remain warm today in the Philly metro region, but not quite the extreme of the past couple of days as changes get underway in the overall weather pattern across the eastern states. The big change will take place later this weekend as a strong cold front arrives and this front will likely produce some much-needed rainfall here from later Saturday night into Sunday. In addition, it’ll turn much cooler for Sunday and Monday and temperatures late Monday night/early Tuesday could drop into the lower 30’s...potentially prompting frost and/or freeze advisories to be issued. A quick rebound in temperatures is likely by mid-week, but cooler-than-normal air could return to the northeastern states by the end of next week.
