Pennsylvania – A calm, gray start is quickly giving way to a warmer, unsettled spring pattern, and wet roads could develop fast by late afternoon across Philadelphia.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures climb to around 66°F today with increasing clouds and isolated showers developing after 3 p.m. Winds from the southwest gust up to 25 mph, pushing in moisture ahead of a more active stretch.
Across southeastern Pennsylvania and into New Jersey, this warming trend accelerates into Tuesday, when highs reach near 80°F. That warmth fuels instability. A few showers or thunderstorms could pop between morning and early afternoon, especially near I-76 and I-95 corridors. Plan for brief downpours and reduced visibility.
By Tuesday night, the air stays mild and slightly breezy, holding near 65°F. Clouds linger, and roads may remain damp for early commuters.
Wednesday stands out as the most impactful day. Showers become likely after 2 p.m., with a 70% chance of rain into the evening. Expect wet pavement on the Schuylkill Expressway and slower regional rail service. Conditions may deteriorate quickly after sunset with pockets of heavier rain.
By Thursday, cooler air filters in. Highs drop to near 63°F with lingering rain chances. The pattern remains unsettled into early April, though above-normal warmth signals a strong spring push heading into next week.
If you’re planning travel or early Easter outings, stay flexible and keep rain gear nearby. Are you already seeing wet roads or changing skies where you are?
