<\/p>\nJackets will be needed in the morning Thursday in the Philadelphia region but temperatures will warm to the mid-upper 40s by the afternoon and low 50s by midnight.<\/p>\n
NEXT big weather change: A warmup and heavy rain<\/p>\n
We’ve issued a NEXT Weather Alert for Friday due to heavy rain and ponding that will likely slow down the Friday commute.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CBS News Philadelphia<\/p>\n
One inch plus of rain is expected in spots, melting quite a bit of the snow, so we’ll need to keep watch of the creeks, streams and rivers with all the added water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Temperatures will then plummet through the afternoon Friday, as winds pick up, leading to a colder but dry start to the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In fact, wind chills may be in the low teens and single digits by the evening, a far cry from the upper 50s we had to start the day, despite the rain. Winds will gust to 50 mph; a wind advisory is in effect.<\/p>\n
Temps will moderate a bit as we head into Christmas week, with 40s to near 50 the first few days. No major storm is in sight before Christmas, but there may still be a little snow left from last Sunday’s storm. Not quite a white Christmas but a white WEEK before Christmas has been nice.<\/p>\n
Here’s your 7-day forecast:<\/p>\n
