Mild weather continues in Philadelphia region Monday, chance for showers in New Year's Eve forecast
After an absolutely non-December-like day with high temperatures in the 60s through Sunday afternoon, rain arrived Sunday night out ahead of a cold front swept through the region overnight.
Rain tapers off Monday morning to set up a slightly cooler but still mild day, with highs this afternoon well above normal in the mid-to-upper 50s under increasing sunshine.
Conditions will remain dry into the first part of New Year's Eve on Tuesday before another system looks to increase the chance of rain going into Tuesday night. Right now there is about a 60% chance of showers at midnight Tuesday night as we ring in the new year. Temperatures at this time look to be in the mid to upper 40s.
This storm system will keep a small chance for some showers around into Wednesday morning, but as it moves east cooler and drier air will rush into the region Wednesday afternoon through the second half of next week. High temperatures by Thursday afternoon will struggle to climb out of the 30s.
The NEXT Weather Team will continue to monitor this roller coaster in temperatures and weather conditions to help you plan and prepare for what's next.
