PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Crisp air and clear skies greet the Delaware Valley this early Saturday as Philadelphia wakes to a bright, calm stretch of fall weather that will last through Monday. It’s the kind of quiet spell perfect for raking leaves, cleaning gutters, or setting out early Halloween decorations before clouds creep back by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, today brings full sunshine and light northwest winds near 5 mph, with afternoon highs close to 60°F. By Sunday, the breeze turns north, keeping conditions cool but pleasant — ideal for weekend travel along I-95 or outdoor fall festivals. Early risers Monday will feel the air sharpen, with highs falling to the mid-50s under bright skies and a steady northeast flow.
Drivers and walkers alike should expect a chillier morning commute Monday and Tuesday, especially in shaded valleys and open suburban stretches west of the city. While no frost is expected just yet, the pattern signals the first solid transition toward early winter air by late October.
Forecasters are watching for a change by Wednesday night into Thursday, when the first light rain chances return — not a washout, but enough to dampen trick-or-treat setup plans. Rain chances hover near 40% late Thursday, with daytime highs around the upper 50s.
For now, the weekend stays steady, bright, and seasonable — a brief calm before a wetter Halloween stretch later in the week.
