Chilly and cloudy Groundhog Day in Philadelphia, accumulating snow possible north, west of the city
You won't need the sunglasses today as clouds increase across the region. After a very cold start in the teens, you can expect cooler temperatures too with highs only making it to the upper 30s.
This evening a warm front will lift north across the area and scattered snow showers are possible. There may be a coating on grassy areas close to I-95 with several inches possible in the Poconos.
Late tonight our winds will turn to the south and a nice warm-up begins with Monday reaching the low-50s under partly cloudy skies.
Tuesday will also be mild near 50s with abundant sunshine.
Punxsutawney Phil's Groundhog Day forecast
It's not time to put away the coats, hats and gloves just yet. Punxsutawney Phil has predicted six more weeks of winter after seeing his shadow at Gobbler's Knob Sunday morning.
Warmer next week
Our seesaw temperatures continue for the remainder of next week as we drop to 30s on Wednesday accompanied by rain showers or a wintry mix.
Just as quickly we reverse course back to the mid 50s on Thursday with steady rain showers throughout the day.
We are also keeping an eye on next weekend.
Super Bowl Sunday in New Orleans will be partly sunny, dry and warm in the 70s, but here in Philly we could be facing rain or snow showers.
Both the American-GFS and EURO-ECMWF long range models are currently in sync tracking a storm across the greater Philadelphia area.
It is still seven days away and the forecast will likely change several times but if you have outdoor party plans or plan travel to a watch party that day you'll need to check back here frequently. The NEXT Weather team will help you plan and prepare with the most up to date gameday forecast.
