The National Weather Service in Mount Holly, NJ, has issued a special weather statement warning residents about icy conditions on the roads this morning. The statement highlights the risk, noting that Philadelphians waking up to fog and mist with a chilly 33°F should take heed, as last night's freezing rain has created hazardous conditions on untreated surfaces. Commuters should exercise caution, as the NWS warns that roads may be slippery.
Looking ahead at the detailed forecast for Philadelphia, there will be a shift in the weather throughout the coming week. Today will see the sky transitioning from cloudy to mostly sunny, with daytime highs reaching around 42°F and a northwest wind at 10 to 15 mph, gusting up to 30 mph. Evening temperatures will dip to a low around 27°F, with the northwest wind calming down to around 5 mph.
Following the icy start, tomorrow’s weather is expected to be sunny, with highs approaching 39°F. The calm conditions will persist into the night, though increasing cloud cover will accompany temperatures hovering around 26°F. By Tuesday, snow is likely, especially after 1 p.m., with overcast skies, a high near 35°F, and a 60% chance of precipitation. While accumulation is expected to be minimal, the city should prepare for up to an inch of new snow.
