Philadelphia weather: Sunny and cool Sunday, warmer temps and chances for rain this week
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- If it felt extra chilly waking up Sunday morning, that's because it was! We saw the coldest air of the month this morning, but Sunday will warm up to the mid-40s later in the day, though temps will stay slightly colder than average.
The second half of the weekend remains quiet and sunny, with crystal clear skies during the day.
Monday will be another sunny day with temps boosted into the mid-to-high 50s, and it's looking like temperatures will climb even higher to give us our 60-degree day of the year by midweek!
But with that unseasonably warm air comes multiple chances for rain and some windy conditions.
Clouds increase on Tuesday before showers could move in later in the day and overnight. Then the greatest chance for rain comes on Wednesday when the Delaware Valley could hear a clap of thunder and see some very high winds.
Looking ahead, temperatures will drop again to the mid-40s on Thursday when we could see a brief wintry mix before dawn, but no accumulations. March and meteorological spring begin on Friday with highs in the mid-40s and sunshine, which is normal for this time of the year. In other words, March is coming in like a lamb!
