Weather Authority: Seasonable temperatures return with sunshine to finish weekend
PHILADELPHIA - Conditions will level off on Sunday after a wild weather weekend that included record-setting warmth in Philadelphia and nighttime storms that turned severe around the region.

Forecasters anticipate bright sunshine to start the morning with temperatures in the 30s and 40s. Uninterrupted sunshine will last through the afternoon as temperatures climb into the mid-40s before topping out around 50 degrees.
The seasonable conditions come a day after Philadelphia enjoyed record warmth for this time of year.
The weather service said the Philadelphia set a new record-high temperature on Dec. 11 of 67 degrees, which marginally beat the previous record of 65 degree set in 1971.
Temperatures will start to trend towards the 60s again by mid-week, reaching a high of 60 on Wednesday and 64 on Thursday with partly cloudy skies.
