Philadelphia weather: Colder temps linger Thursday before warm weather rebound on Friday

NEXT Weather: Lots of sun but colder Thursday

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Clear skies overnight made for some ideal Geminids meteor shower viewing conditions.

But those clear skies also make for good cooling weather conditions and help temperatures drop into the mid-upper 20s by early Thursday morning.

It'll also be a little breezy, which will make it feel more like the upper teens and low 20s in some places. Thursday will be the coolest day of the week with highs in the low 40s.

After Thursday, the warmth rebounds with highs back into the 50s on Friday and then mid-50s for the weekend!

Tracking another rainy Sunday and Monday CBS Philadelphia

The second half of the weekend however, we will be tracking rain… again. A low pressure system is forecast to develop out of the Gulf of Mexico and track northeast.  

At this point it looks like it will start to spread rain across the region Sunday afternoon with periods of heavy rain and gusty winds expected overnight Sunday into Monday morning.
