PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – A gray morning sky and damp leaves mark the start of a calmer stretch across eastern Pennsylvania as early rain lifts and sunshine begins to take hold. Pavement could still be slick on I-76 and Route 1 through the midmorning commute, but improving visibility and lighter traffic impacts are expected by late morning as the air dries and clouds begin to thin.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, a steady pattern of dry, mild weather will dominate through midweek. Tuesday looks especially pleasant, with sunshine, west winds near 10 mph, and highs reaching the upper 50s to low 60s. Wednesday trends even warmer, climbing into the mid-60s — a brief taste of late-fall comfort before cooler air presses back in.
By Thursday, a noticeable shift begins. Winds ease but temperatures slide into the upper 50s. Models suggest a new front arriving by late Friday, bringing the next chance for rain and a potential temperature drop into the low 40s by early Saturday. While no early snow is expected for Philadelphia, colder air will continue spreading south from the Great Lakes and interior Northeast, hinting at a stronger November chill to come before Veterans Day.
Residents planning early holiday errands, outdoor projects, or local parades this weekend should enjoy the dry spell through Wednesday. After that, keep an umbrella close and prepare for brisker evenings as November’s first true cool-down takes shape.
