Philadelphia forecast: Cold and blustery Tuesday, temps dropping to the 20s overnight
PHILADELPHIA (CBS ) -- Expect a return to winter temperatures over the next few days, with 40s for highs and 20s and 30s for lows, though colder in the mountains.
A band of snow moving through the Poconos and Lehigh Valley early Monday morning brought some scattered showers to the region, before clearing out to a mix of sun and clouds.
A cold and blustery afternoon is on the way, with wind chills at 32 degrees or below, but sunny skies return Wednesday through Thursday, when winter officially begins on Thursday at 10:27 p.m.!
Increasing clouds move in by the start of the weekend, though it'll remain dry.
Unfortunately for anyone dreaming of a White Christmas, there's no snow on the horizon for the holiday. On Christmas Eve, temps will reach the mid-to-upper 40s with mixed skies, then on Christmas Day, partly to mostly cloudy skies with highs in the low 50s.
