Tuesday is going to be our first real feel of winter with the actual lows dropping into the 20s and 30s in the Philadelphia region, and wind chill temps will be in the teens and 20s. 

Gusts will be out of the Northwest, roughly 20-30 mph during the morning hours but increasing during the daytime up to 40 mph.  Combine that with temps only in the mid-low 40s during the day, and we’ll have wind chills barely above freezing, even during the peak heating of the day.

Now, if this were mid-January, it wouldn’t be a huge deal, as we’d both expect it AND be used to it, but the first of the season usually has a bit more impact. Keep in mind your sensitive plants. Yes, the growing season is over, but you may have something out on your porch that needs protection.

As for the sky cover, mostly sunny skies should prevail, but during the day, we’ll see passing clouds that could produce a stray snow flurry or two. No accumulation is expected, but be aware if heading out, especially on the roads in areas like the Poconos and Lehigh Valley.

After Tuesday, we’ll get a quick rebound back to normal with highs returning to the mid and upper 50s with dry weather expected through the end of the week and into the weekend. Our NEXT Weather maker looks to be next Monday when we’ll track showers (in the form of rain).
