Philadelphia, PA – Cool, dry weather and breezy conditions continue across the Philadelphia area today, raising fire spread risks across the region. Residents are urged to exercise caution with outdoor fires, as gusts up to 20 mph are expected, which can fuel any flames and make containment difficult. Humidity is predicted to drop below 30 percent, further increasing the danger. Outdoor burning is discouraged, and people are advised to dispose of cigarettes and other ignition sources responsibly.
Looking ahead, the National Weather Service forecasts a slight chance of rain by late Sunday, offering a potential respite from dry conditions. The temperature on Sunday will peak around 62 degrees, with rain expected after 7 p.m. This rain, although minimal, may ease dry conditions but is not expected to be substantial enough to alleviate the ongoing fire risk entirely.
As for Veterans Day on Monday, Philadelphia is expected to see mostly sunny skies with a high near 69 degrees, providing mild and pleasant weather for local events and outdoor gatherings. Cooler temperatures will follow, with highs around 57 degrees on Wednesday, while a chance of showers returns Wednesday night into Thursday.
Residents should continue to monitor the forecast as conditions may impact travel and outdoor plans, especially for those attending Veterans Day ceremonies. For safety, adhere to burn bans in place and stay updated through the National Weather Service for any changes.
Stay cautious today and make the most of the sunny conditions expected on Veterans Day.
