Discussion
Much milder weather is in store for the region during the second half of the week, but the transition from the current cold conditions may be accompanied by some frozen precipitation; especially, in the northern suburbs before an eventual changeover to plain rain. Specifically, a brief period of snow or sleet is possible during the mid-day and early afternoon hours and then there can be a touch of freezing rain late today. Plain rain is likely tonight; however, it can still freeze on some surfaces; especially, to the north and west of Philly so watch out for icy road conditions. The milder air will finally win out on Wednesday and temperatures could reach the 50 degree mark for highs. By Thursday, temperatures are likely jump well up into the 50’s as a strong southwest wind develops and the mild weather should last right into Friday. After that; however, strong Arctic high pressure will build to our north and this will lead to much colder conditions around here and perhaps even a period of ice or snow as moisture heads our way this weekend from the Midwest.
