Philadelphia, PA – Pennsylvania residents can expect sunny and mild weather today, with high temperatures reaching the low 60s across Philadelphia and surrounding areas. However, the National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning due to dry conditions and increased fire risks, urging residents to avoid open burning.
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday’s high near 63°F will feel unseasonably warm, as temperatures remain 5 to 10 degrees above normal. Winds from the northwest will range from 10 to 15 mph, increasing the potential for rapid fire spread. Tonight, clear skies will bring a low of 39°F, making for cooler conditions overnight.
Sunday will see increasing clouds and a high near 61°F with light winds, making it a comfortable day for outdoor plans. Heading into next week, Monday’s high is expected to climb to 65°F under sunny skies, but showers are likely by Wednesday, with a 60% chance of rain and a high near 67°F.
The Red Flag Warning remains a critical concern. Avoid any activities involving sparks, as even small fires could spread uncontrollably. Local authorities recommend reporting any signs of smoke or fire to emergency services immediately.
For those planning outdoor activities, Sunday’s mild weather will be ideal, though conditions will cool significantly after dark. Prepare for a mix of sunny days and potential midweek rain as temperatures fluctuate between highs in the mid-60s and lows in the 40s.
