Philadelphia, PA – Temperatures are rebounding quickly across eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with a chilly start Thursday giving way to a steady warmup that peaks near 70 degrees by Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, highs Thursday will range from the low 40s in the Poconos to the low 50s across Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Trenton under considerable cloud cover. Conditions moderate further Friday and into the weekend as warmer air builds across the region.
By Sunday, much of southeastern Pennsylvania and South Jersey will see highs in the 60s to near 70 degrees, with cities like Philadelphia, Allentown, and Vineland experiencing a noticeable shift to spring-like conditions. Coastal areas including Atlantic City and Cape May may stay slightly cooler.
Rain chances remain limited but not absent. A round of light rain is possible late Friday into Friday night, followed by another chance late Sunday into Sunday night. Neither system is expected to bring significant rainfall, but brief wet roads could impact travel.
Residents should plan for changing temperatures and keep an eye on late-day showers, especially heading into the weekend. The warming trend will hold through Sunday before the next system approaches early next week.
