Philadelphia wakes Thursday to mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 60s, with a warm 73-degree high still on tap. The trade-off for the November bonus warmth is a wetter turn: shower chances continue Thursday, then a more organized soaking arrives Thursday night and Friday.
Rain Builds Thursday Night
Showers are possible during Thursday’s daylight hours. Thursday’s land winds could gust to 15 to 20 knots, and precipitation chances increase Thursday night, when rain and a slight chance of thunderstorms are forecast; temperatures only fall to about 63.
Friday looks like the soggiest part of the stretch, with precipitation possible through Friday night. The National Weather Service forecasts periods of precipitation through Friday night. The high is near 71.
Weekend Rebound
Precipitation may linger through Friday night, with the front departing offshore Saturday. Saturday is forecast to be mostly sunny near 63, followed by a sunny Sunday near 61—an appealing reset after the wet finish to the workweek.
The latest forecast is a substantive update to Hoodline’s earlier outlook: rain odds are now highest overnight Thursday and Friday, while the weekend looks drier. Temperatures continue cooling Sunday into early next week, with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Coastal Winds Turn Rougher
Philadelphia has no land-based watches or warnings in the forecast report. Boaters should note a Small Craft Advisory for nearby Atlantic waters from 5 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday, with southerly winds of 15 to 20 knots and seas building to 3 to 5 feet.
