Philadelphia weather: Parade of storms continues with windy, wet weekend
PHILADELPHIA - After a brief flirtation with snow on Saturday, the region is setting up for heavy rainfall for Sunday, along with gusty winds.
Temperatures will fly high Sunday, before dropping back into winter territory for the remainder of next week, while several systems bring a variety of conditions.
Timeline:
Temperatures are on the way up overnight into Sunday. They'll soar to near 60 degrees, before dropping back to winter-like temps for Monday.
Heavy rain will move into the area mid-morning and last through the late afternoon. We should see around an inch of the much-needed precipitation.
Weather advisories, warnings:
A High Wind Warning has been issued for all of the Delaware Valley from Sunday morning through Monday night. Forecasters expect winds to blow at 20 to 30 mph, with gusts reaching 60 mph. That is the high side of tropical storm force winds. Take precautions with your homes, if need be, and be aware of likely trees down and power outages. Travel will likely be difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles.
What's next:
Most of next week will be cold, as temps struggle to reach freezing and overnight lows drop into the upper teens and low 20s, while the wind persists.
The next system could arrive Wednesday evening and last into Thursday, bringing with it an undetermined amount of snow. The FOX 29 Weather Authority will continue to monitor the system.
