NEXT big change
Overnight Saturday into Sunday is the NEXT big change. The winds have finally started to relax a little after gusting between 50-60 mph Saturday.
The wind gusts will taper off to 35-45 mph overnight Saturday dropping wind chills to -10 to -15 in Philadelphia. Wind chills in the Lehigh Valley and into the Poconos will be as low as -20 to -30.
Sunday morning, we will wake up near 5 degrees in the city, colder away from the city with some even dropping below zero. This will be the first single digit low temperature for Philadelphia since 2022 and that is rare since there have only been 9 single digit lows since 2015.
