As Philadelphia residents bundle up this brisk November week, the National Weather Service has provided a detailed forecast, offering a glimpse of what to expect weather-wise. With the mercury touching 37°F early this morning, the City of Brotherly Love is set to experience a gradual climb in temperature but should also keep an eye out for forthcoming rain.
According to the National Weather Service, the clouds will be gathering throughout today, with a high near 48 anticipated. The west wind playing at 5 to 15 mph won't help with the chill, which feels closer to 31°F. The true dampener, however, lies ahead: tonight's 90% chance of rain, which could accumulate to a substantial quarter to half an inch.
Wednesday promises a modest respite from the rain showers that are mainly limited to before 7am, as the skies begin to clear, aiming for a high near 50. The calm before another potential drizzle on Thursday night is forecasted with a 30% chance of rain after 1am. The silver lining, if any, to the otherwise cloudy Thursday is the near steady temperature around 50 degrees during the day.
The weekend offers no certainty of a clear sky, with a 50% chance of rain on Friday night and similar predicaments scattered across Saturday and into the early hours of Sunday. In fact, the likelihood of rain seems to dance around the 30% mark almost playfully, hinting but not confirming, when the next rainfall might grace the Philadelphia streets. But Sunday, at least, should mostly be sunny with a high near 53 to draw the week to a close, as detailed by the NWS.
For further insights and updates, Philadelphians are encouraged to stay tuned to the local weather forecasts.
