Philadelphia is bracing for a bout of inclement weather, with the National Weather Service predicting a series of rainy conditions starting tonight and persisting through the end of the week. Residents can expect to see heavy rainfall before 5am, potentially accumulating between three quarters and one inch of new precipitation, according to the National Weather Service forecast.
The situation looks to remain dreary as Thursday brings a 30% chance of showers with mostly cloudy skies and high winds reaching up to 25 mph while the NWS indicates, new precipitation amounts could nestle between a tenth and quarter of an inch though tonight the odds of rain increase ever so slightly to 40% even as the temperature drops to around 37 degrees, with less than a tenth of an inch of new precipitation expected.
Friday's outlook isn't much brighter, the likelihood of showers climbing to 70%; the skies will remain overcast, and conditions blustery with southwest winds at approximately 15 mph and gusts as high as 25 mph, "New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible" is what the NWS reports.
However, the weekend may bring a brief respite with the NWS forecast suggesting partly sunny skies on Saturday and a high near 52 degrees, but the weather will remain unsteady, as the possibility of showers could return before Saturday night ends, and with highs approaching the 50s it's hard not to wish for clearer skies as we head into the week of Thanksgiving Sunday night's forecast hints at partly cloudy conditions with a low around 37, and while Monday and Tuesday are anticipated to be mostly cloudy, temperatures should stay mild with highs nearing 60 degrees.
