More Wild Temperature Swings, Rain, Snow On The Way To Philly Area
A near-50-degree temperature flux will be followed by rain and maybe even snow. Here's the latest forecast for another bizarre week:
PHILADELPHIA, PA — The greater Philadelphia area is in for another drastic temperature swing this week, with balmy springlike weather on Tuesday and Wednesday ceding to a winter chill and a chance for snow.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be rainy and warm, with temperatures rising to 60 on Tuesday and all the way up 70 on Wednesday. While wind gusts up to 30 miles per hour will accompany the rain and warmth — much like last week — the rain is not likely to exceed a half an inch all told.
As the rain clears Wednesday, the temperature will plummet down to 33 overnight, before ceding to another rain, sleet, and potentially snowstorm on Thursday afternoon. At this point, forecasters say that little to no accumulation is expected.
