Chilly reality returns with temps in the teens Tuesday in Philadelphia area
The chilly reality sets in Tuesday, with cold winds being the rule in the Philadelphia region.
High temperatures will be near freezing, but wind chills will likely stay in the teens all day: perhaps a lone 20-degree spot or so, but nonetheless another frigid day. Skies will be a mix of sun and clouds.
Wednesday and Thursday remain chilly in the 30s with sun and clouds each day and cold wind chills.
By Friday, the clouds clear and temperatures rebound to the low 40s.
MLK holiday weekend
That little warmup is just in time if you want to avoid snow in the Philadelphia region.
We are tracking another storm next Saturday for the start of the long Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.
Highs Saturday will be in the 40s, with rain possible late that day. The system looks to bring mainly rain, though it could end as some snow for the Poconos late Saturday night.
Sunday, we should dry out in time for the Philadelphia Eagles' divisional round game against the Los Angeles Rams. Skies will be mostly cloudy and temps will be cooler in the upper 30s. On the holiday Monday, highs will only be in the mid-30s under partly cloudy skies.
