Philadelphia residents should prepare for a cool week with possible patchy frost in the mornings. Today's high will be around 60°F with a light north wind. Tonight, temperatures are expected to drop to about 35°F. Clear skies could lead to frost after 5 AM.
According to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service, this frosty pattern will continue on Monday morning until around 9 am. The day is slated to progressively warm up to a sunny 64°F with a gentle wind transitioning from north to southeast. The National Weather Service warns that temperatures as low as 33 will result in frost formation.
Along with cooler temperatures, a Special Weather Statement has been issued. Residents should be cautious of fire risks due to dry vegetation and low humidity, which could cause fires to spread quickly. Humidity levels are expected to drop to 20-30% during the day. While winds will be calmer, at 5 to 10 mph, they could still help spread any fires.
Frost is expected through Monday night. The weather will warm up later in the week, with highs around 80°F by Thursday, but there’s a chance of showers by the weekend. Officials are reminding everyone to follow burn restrictions to prevent any fire hazards.
