Philadelphia, PA – Philadelphia residents can expect a chilly night with frost risk tonight, but things are only getting colder as spring weather takes an unexpected turn this week. A weather alert is in place for Wednesday, with a potential mix of snow and gusty winds affecting the area.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will dip to 29°F tonight, posing a frost risk and possibly impacting sensitive plants or crops. As the spring chill continues, this morning could bring a mix of rain and snow, with snow showers expected between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m., followed by a chance of rain throughout the day. Winds will pick up, gusting up to 45 mph, creating blustery conditions.
This spring-like weather could cause travel disruptions, particularly in the early morning hours, as roads may be slippery due to wet conditions. PennDOT is advising drivers to use caution, especially on less-traveled roads, as the combination of frost, snow, and wind could lead to reduced visibility.
Looking ahead, the forecast for the rest of the week includes a mix of partly cloudy skies and showers. Thursday night may see more chances for rain, with a 30% chance of precipitation continuing into Friday. The weekend will bring milder temperatures, with highs expected to hit the mid-50s by Saturday.
Be sure to check the forecast frequently for any updates, as spring weather can change rapidly.
