Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – Spring in Pennsylvania turns lively this week, with showers targeting the Philadelphia metro area just in time for the Thursday evening commute. Gusty winds and sharp temperature swings will add extra challenges, especially for anyone driving along I-76, I-95, or I-676.
According to the National Weather Service, Philadelphia will enjoy mostly sunny skies on Tuesday with temperatures soaring to 82°F. However, by Thursday night, a 40% chance of showers moves in after 2 p.m., potentially creating slick roads and delays during peak travel times. Commuters should monitor conditions closely and consider leaving extra travel time, especially if using major routes like I-76 and I-95.
Tuesday brings mild winds from the south, gusting up to 25 mph, and the warmth will linger into Wednesday, when highs approach 80°F under partly sunny skies. The threat of rain increases Thursday night and continues into Friday, with a 50% chance of showers and temperatures dropping to the low 60s. Localized ponding on roadways is possible—use caution, reduce speed, and avoid flooded areas.
After the late-week showers, the weekend clears with partly sunny skies and more seasonable spring temperatures near 71°F on Saturday. Residents should charge devices ahead of storms, check wiper blades, and keep weather alerts active for rapid updates.
