Philadelphia is waking Wednesday to clear skies and temperatures near 50 degrees, with sunshine pushing the city to a high around 63. North winds of 10 to 15 mph, with stronger gusts possible, will make the dry fall day feel sharper than the thermometer suggests.
Sunny City, Rougher Shoreline
The city is expected to stay dry, but an offshore storm is creating more serious conditions along parts of the New Jersey and Delaware coasts. The National Weather Service says coastal wind gusts could reach 30 to 40 mph, with beach erosion and elevated high tides possible.
Coastal Flood Advisories are in effect Wednesday evening for portions of New Jersey and Delaware, with the most concerning high-tide cycle expected from about 6 to 10 p.m. Philadelphia itself has no coastal flood advisory, but anyone heading toward the shore should check conditions before traveling.
Chilly Nights Follow
Wednesday night will turn partly cloudy and cool, with a low near 45. Thursday stays sunny and reaches about 66, while Friday brings another sunny day near 60 and a colder night around 39, when frost could develop in colder areas where the growing season continues.
Bright Weekend Ahead
The forecast remains dry and mostly sunny through the weekend, with highs near 61 Saturday and 65 Sunday. Monday looks warmer again, with sunshine and a high near 63.
The updated outlook adds sharper timing for Wednesday evening’s coastal flooding threat to the forecast covered in Hoodline’s Tuesday report, while Philadelphia’s inland weather remains calm and bright.
