Saturday 5PM Update: The low level cloud layer didn’t clear as I had expected. We remained socked into cloudy and damp all day. Sunday still looks cloudy and damp in PHL with a chance of light scattered showers, but the real rain arrives late afternoon.

A return to colder winter temperatures will occur this week in the Thursday-Friday timeframe.  The first few days of February look to be stormy at this time (although long-range forecasts haven’t been too good this year).

The warm front that moved through on Friday, has moved north and a southwesterly flow of mild air will move in for Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday will be dry and partly to mostly cloudy, but we can’t rule out some sun breaking through during the day, especially the afternoon.  High temp 55.

Sunday will continue mild, but an approaching large storm system will bring an increasingly easterly wind and clouds and during the day  and rain by nightfall. Right now, the GFS has most of the daytime hours rain-free.  High temp 56.

Already advertised, from Sunday night through Monday, expect a stormy period with high winds.  Right now, the GFS is predicting over 3 inches of rain!
