Tuesday in the Philadelphia region is the day you can likely ditch the heavy winter gear you’ve been wearing, to be replaced with just a coat.
It will start chilly (near freezing) for the day, but temps warm into the mid-40s with light winds and cloudy skies for the afternoon. While not warm, it should feel considerably better than it has been with our high temps finally getting back above normal.

Finally, what we’ve been waiting to hear: warmth is on the way.
In fact, a warmer trend looks to lead us through the majority of the week with high temperatures running slightly warmer than normal by Tuesday. High temperatures Wednesday and Thursday may be into the mid-low 50s, with overnight lows actually staying above freezing.

Then again, on Friday and Saturday, we’ll see a greater chance for rain and warmer temps as southerly winds usher in the mid-upper 50s and even possibly 60.
The forecast models are wavering a bit on when the rain will arrive but the trend is more toward Friday night and Saturday. Once the front rolls through temps will have a steep drop off, so right now your Sunday is looking significantly cooler than Saturday, but dry.
The wind chills will play a role if headed out to Lincoln Financial Field for the Eagles-49ers game — we’ll keep you posted.
