Philadelphia, PA – The region remains locked in a deep freeze through Sunday morning, but forecasters say a brief warm-up is on the horizon. According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, temperatures across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland are expected to climb into the low to mid-30s early in the week before another surge of arctic air arrives next weekend.
Areas near and southeast of I-95—including Philadelphia, Trenton, and Wilmington—should briefly rise above freezing by Tuesday, marking the first significant break in sub-freezing conditions in days. However, towns farther northwest such as Hackettstown, NJ, and Mount Pocono, PA, may struggle to reach 30°F throughout the week.
The Cold Weather Advisory remains in effect for the entire region through Sunday morning, with forecasters noting that wind chills will continue to make conditions feel even colder overnight. Highs in Philadelphia are forecast near 33°F on Tuesday, with lows dipping into the teens through the midweek.
While forecasters note a couple of chances for light snow between Wednesday and Friday, no major winter storms are expected in the coming days. The next blast of arctic air could return next weekend, keeping temperatures below freezing once again across much of the Mid-Atlantic.
Residents are urged to continue taking precautions against the cold, especially during overnight hours when temperatures fall into the single digits in northern areas.
