If you haven’t broken out the cold weather gear yet, this weekend will be the time to do it.

Saturday is shaping up to be the nicer of the two weekend days as showers return on Sunday, mainly afternoon and evening, as a much stronger system approaches from the Northwest.

This could bring storms as well as heavy rain for a brief period of time. Total accumulations should be .50″ or less but it may come down quickly as the front rolls through. Behind the front we’ll get our first “real” shot of winter air, likely reaching the freezing mark here in the city. The avgerage first occurrence of that happening is typically around Nov. 11 in Philly, so we’re on target.
