Philadelphia Weather, Varied Conditions Ahead, Rain Chances Increase by Thanksgiving

Over the next several days, Philadelphia is anticipating a mix of cloud cover and bright skies, with high temperatures in the mid-40s to mid-50s. Residents can expect partly sunny weather today, with a high of about 54 degrees. The National Weather Service predicts that the west wind will blow at about 15 mph, with gusts of up to 30 mph possible.

Even though it’s cold, Monday is supposed to be warmer with sunny skies and highs that might reach 56 degrees. It is predicted that the still-gentle breeze will turn southwest at roughly 5 mph. The caveat is that there is a 50% probability of precipitation, which might result in less than a tenth of an inch of rainfall, and rain could sneak in after 1am on Monday night.

Tuesday might begin with a possible shower before 1pm, but it will soon clear up to generally sunny conditions with a high of almost 59 degrees, according to those who prepare ahead for the week. Once more, the west wind will increase in speed, reaching 5 to 15 mph. The sky will stay fairly clear as the evening wears on, and the temperature will drop to about 36 degrees. Wednesday’s highs will be close to 47 degrees, continuing the trend of largely sunny weather. That evening, there may be some clouds and lows of about 35.
