Friday started off with clear skies and temperatures running 5 to 10 degrees warmer than Thursday at this time, in the 40s and 50s to start. But despite bright sunshine expected through the day, we will only manage a high of 62° in Philadelphia, just a touch below our normal of 65°.
It gets colder Friday night. A freeze watch has been issued for the western suburbs of Montgomery, Chester, and Bucks counties, along with Lehigh Valley and Berks County, where many neighborhoods could dip below freezing late tonight into Saturday morning, with a repeat Sunday morning.
Frost is likely for the immediate Philadelphia area and surrounding suburbs both mornings as well.
Both weekend days recover nicely under mostly sunny skies with a high of 63° Saturday and a pleasant 67° Sunday.
Then, it’s back to the 70s to start the work week with a high of 73° Monday afternoon and clear skies for the Eagles Monday night game. Temperatures settle into the 50s during the game with light winds, great football weather.
Looking ahead, a string of comfortable autumn days with partly sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 60s climbing into the low to mid 70s by the end of the week.
Halloween is shaping up nicely for trick-or-treaters with a high near 60° Saturday and temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s for prime trick-or-treat time Saturday evening.
