Discussion
Much warmer air will surge into the Mid-Atlantic region today and it’ll stay quite warm around here right through Saturday. Temperatures in the Philly metro region should come within a few degrees of 80 degrees later today and again on Friday afternoon and then climb into the 80’s on Saturday, but then a back door cool front is likely to cool it off on Sunday. On Monday, a strong cold front will approach from the Midwest and it is likely to turn windy and warmer, but then cooler temperatures return on Tuesday following the frontal passage. As far as precipitation is concerned, a weakening frontal system can spark a couple of showers and maybe a thunderstorm later tonight and early Friday and both weekend days can include a scattered shower or thunderstorm, but should be mainly rain-free. Later Monday, as a strong cold front arrives, showers and thunderstorms are likely and then cooler air follows the passage of the frontal system.
