Chilly but dry Christmas Day in Philadelphia region, ice possible on the roads Wednesday morning
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! If your holiday plans take you out on the roads Wednesday morning, be cautious and aware of some icy spots. After some melting yesterday, overnight freezing temperatures might have produced some patchy black ice.
Christmas Day itself will feature partly cloudy skies with temperatures once again in the upper 30s. Hanukkah, which begins Wednesday night at sundown, will be partly cloudy as temperatures slowly cool into the middle 20s by Thursday morning.
Thursday is the first day of Kwanzaa, and it will be mostly sunny and seasonable with highs in the upper 30s to near 40 degrees.
As we look ahead toward the final weekend of 2024, the temps will warm back into the upper 40s and even 50s by Sunday, with some plain ol' showers possible late Saturday into the day on Sunday.
A quick look ahead to New Years Eve shows a pretty large system developing to our west, ushering in warm air for the holiday. The evening looks to be wet and warm with midnight temps potentially in the mid-40s.
