Cloudy, cooler weather in Philadelphia region Monday, few chances for showers this week
Another gray day is on tap in Philadelphia. Some patchy fog is possible earlier in the morning, so be sure to take is slow on the Monday morning drive.
Skies will be mostly cloudy once again today some breaks of sun possible later in the day, most likely east of the city. We can't rule out a shower or a few sprinkles in spots, but it won't be significant. Highs will range from the mid-60s to the low 70s.
Gray skies and shower chances will persist through Tuesday courtesy of the remnants of what once was Hurricane Helene.
On Wednesday, a trough and cold front will push the remnants offshore and our skies will turn sunny by Thursday. The late part of the week will be gorgeous, with highs in the mid to upper 70s. One or two spots may even hit 80 degrees before the week is up.
There's a chance for a storm or a shower on Saturday, though it doesn't look like a weekend washout.
Turning to the tropics, all eyes are on the development region over the Caribbean, Bay of Campeche and the southern Gulf of Mexico.
Conditions are favorable for another tropical system to develop there later this week. This is the same region that Helene just emerged from. It is too early to say where a system would track, but the entire Gulf Coast will once again be on alert.
