Wednesday brings slightly milder weather to the Philadelphia region, but it’s not a nice day. We are dealing with areas of patchy fog and showers in the morning, and you’ll need your umbrella close by all day.
Allow extra time in the morning for a potentially slow commute.Â
We expect more widespread rain Wednesday afternoon. On the plus side, you’ll only need a light jacket, as temperatures climb to the 40s and 50s.
NEXT big change
More rain on the way tomorrow, heavy at times, before the pattern tries to break for warmth this weekend. By next week we’ll have a few days approaching the mid-70s!
More rain is on the way Thursday and Friday as the region tries to warm up for this weekend.
We’ll feel that warmth on Saturday when the high temperature should reach 60 degrees in Philadelphia. There could even be highs in the 70s in a few spots south of the city.
