Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – Dry conditions Monday will give way to above-normal temperatures and several chances for rain across the region this week.
According to the US National Weather Service in Mount Holly, precipitation has moved out of the area, leaving partly to mostly cloudy skies Monday. Afternoon highs are expected to reach the upper 30s to low 40s across southeastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Delaware.
Communities including Philadelphia, Trenton, Allentown, Wilmington, and Atlantic City are forecast to see highs generally between 38 and 42 degrees Monday. Skies will remain mostly cloudy, but widespread precipitation is not expected during the day.
After Monday, a stretch of above-normal temperatures is forecast through the remainder of the week and potentially into the weekend. Highs are projected to climb into the mid-40s and possibly higher by midweek as a warmer pattern takes hold.
Multiple chances for rain are expected over the next seven days as the region enters a more unsettled weather pattern. While exact timing and rainfall amounts remain uncertain, periods of wet roads are possible later in the week.
Drivers along Interstate 95, Interstate 76, Interstate 78, Interstate 295, and the Garden State Parkway should prepare for changing conditions, particularly during any mid- to late-week rain events.
The warmer temperatures may increase outdoor activity during afternoon hours, while rain chances could affect commutes later in the week.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts at weather.gov/phi for more precise timing on upcoming rain chances.
