Philadelphia, PA – A colder-than-average weekend is set to grip southeastern Pennsylvania, with temperatures dropping into the 20s overnight and daytime highs struggling to surpass the upper 30s. Residents should prepare for frosty mornings and chilly afternoons, particularly if traveling along major routes like I-95 or Route 1.
According to the National Weather Service, Friday’s relatively mild high of 46°F will give way to a low near 27°F tonight under clear skies. Saturday will bring even colder conditions, with a high of just 38°F and lows dipping to 26°F overnight. Gusty winds of up to 20 mph will make it feel even colder.
Sunday offers little relief, with sunny skies but highs barely reaching 39°F. Overnight temperatures will once again fall into the mid-20s. By Monday, the region remains chilly with highs around 40°F. The extended forecast hints at a chance of snow showers Wednesday night, which could impact midweek travel plans.
The weather shift may complicate holiday shopping and travel plans. Experts recommend dressing in layers and ensuring vehicles are winter-ready for any unexpected delays. Those with outdoor plans or commutes during early mornings and evenings should expect wind chills that could make conditions feel several degrees colder.
Motorists traveling along I-95 and Route 1 this weekend should be cautious of freezing overnight temperatures that may lead to icy patches, particularly on bridges and overpasses.
