Philadelphia starts Sunday, November 8, under mostly cloudy skies, but the clouds should thin quickly as west winds usher in a brighter afternoon. Temperatures will climb from the low 50s early to around 61 degrees, with breezy conditions but no rain in the city forecast.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
Sunshine is expected to take over after sunrise, with west winds around 15 to 20 mph and occasional gusts near 25 mph. The National Weather Service Mount Holly says Sunday will be warmer than Saturday but still breezy, while Sunday night turns clear with a low near 45.
There are no Pennsylvania land alerts in the forecast, although a Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for nearby coastal waters through 9 a.m. Sunday. Anyone heading onto the Delaware Bay or Atlantic waters should expect rougher conditions than the city forecast suggests.
A Mild, Sunny Start To The Week
Monday stays sunny near 61, but winds become more noticeable, with west wind gusts potentially reaching 30 mph. Tuesday looks warmer and calmer, with a sunny high near 64, while Veterans Day on Wednesday, November 11, is forecast sunny with a high near 63.
Rain Arrives Thursday
The pattern turns unsettled Thursday, November 12, when rain may develop after 7 a.m. and skies remain mostly cloudy. The chance of rain rises Thursday night and Friday, November 13, with a high near 49 Friday.
Coastal Storm Uncertainty Builds
Forecasters are watching the possibility of a stronger coastal storm late in the week, but the track and exact precipitation types remain uncertain. Saturday, November 14, is expected to be partly sunny with a high near 50.
The late-week setup is a substantive turn from the earlier Hoodline weekend forecast, which focused on the dry rebound. Details remain fluid, especially for any rain-snow mix and stronger coastal winds, so plans for Thursday night through Saturday may need a refresh.
