Philadelphia Braces for Chilly Veterans Day, Sunny Yet Windy Weather Expected

Philadelphians can expect a brisk Veterans Day with mostly sunny skies. Despite the clear view above, temperatures will hover around 44 degrees, but gusts reaching up to 35 mph will make it feel considerably chillier – a wind chill factor dipping as low as 22 degrees was recorded early in the morning. The city will see increasing clouds by night, with lows settling at around 34 degrees and the southwest wind blowing at a steady 10 to 15 mph, as detailed by the NWS.

NWS Philadelphia details that the following days provide a slight reprieve from today’s chill. Wednesday's forecast predicts mostly sunny skies with a milder high near 52 and lighter winds gusting to around 20 mph, creating a respite from today's sharper gusts.

The rest of the week continues the trend of sunny conditions, which will culminate in Thursday’s high near 53, while the nights promise to be mostly clear with temperatures dropping to the high 30s. True to the erratic nature of fall in the Northeast, there’s a bit of a rollercoaster ride heading into the weekend. Friday's weather presents a consistent story – mostly sunny with highs again near 53, but Friday night could see the mercury fall to around 32.

This weekend brings a mix of sun and rain. Saturday will be mostly sunny with highs near 50°F, but a 30% chance of rain arrives after 1 a.m. Sunday. Sunday stays partly sunny with similar rain chances and highs near 59°F. Monday follows the same pattern, with partly sunny skies, occasional rain, and highs in the mid-50s.
