Philadelphia forecast: Chilly but sunny start to Monday, more rain by midweek
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Coming off of a mixed bag of weekend weather, Monday morning starts cold before warming up in the afternoon.
High temperatures today will be close to where they normally are for this time of year, in the low to mid-50s.
Monday stays sunny and dry, and Tuesday has a pretty similar forecast, though with some cloudier skies tomorrow.
A Coastal Flood Warning and Coastal Flood Advisory remain in effect Monday morning along the coast of New Jersey and Delaware. Northeasterly winds pushing water up against the coasts, combined with higher than normal tides and recent rain, could lead to flooding.
Next chance for rain
Not that we need any more moisture after Saturday's soaking rain, but a system moving currently over the Plains states and moving east is set to bring the region some more showers on Wednesday and Thursday.
On Wednesday, we're looking at cloudier skies and possible rain showers along the I-95 corridor.
That precipitation sticks around Thursday bringing showers to the region, and could impact the Phillies' Opening Day at Citizens Bank Park. First pitch is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. against the Atlanta Braves.
As always, the NEXT WEATHER Team will continue to provide you with the latest weather info as the storms get closer to the Delaware Valley.
Looking ahead, warmer and drier air is in the forecast for next weekend and Easter Sunday.
