Last week started with us getting a “whopping” 1 inch of snow in Philadelphia! The week ended with full-on springtime weather as temperatures soared through the 70s. Such is the volatility of the cruel month of March. This week, spring arrives in full force as the entire week looks to feature temperatures at or above 60! We could end the week on a cooler note if a cold front comes down on Tuesday, but we’ll worry about that later.
Thursday will be so warm it will almost feel like summer. Never say “never” when forecasting the weather, but it looks like winter is really over in Philly. Yeah, we may have a couple days in the 40s to deal with at the end of March, but we are jumping on the tropical express the next two weeks. Plenty of warmth to come!
Snow chances this week: None — Philly may not see another snowflake until next winter.
Wednesday and Thursday are picture perfect days. It will be sunny and warm both days with temperatures in the 70s. Warm lovers — you’ve waited a while for this so enjoy it! Everyone, get out and bask in the sun!
Friday is also a very nice day with temperatures once again climbing into the 70s. There could be some clouds and a sprinkle in the morning, but overall a great day! Just remember, it snowed just a week earlier!
Saturday is a cooler day that could also feature a shower. Any rain should be brief in duration, with clouds and a little sun dominating most of the time.
Sunday is a touch warmer than Saturday, but showers become more likely as our weather comes straight up from the moist South. It won’t be a washout by any means, but a shower or two should do.
Shower chances stick around for Monday as we jump back into the 70s. Again, we are not talking about a lot of rain.
Tuesday could be the end of our warm run as a backdoor cold front tries to work its way down to us from New England. If that happens we will be in the 40s and 50s for a couple days. I think warmth prevails.
The weather winner of the week is Friday; the weather loser is Saturday (but it’s not even a bad day!).
