Let the warm up begin!

After several days with high temperatures struggling in the 10's, a very well deserved warm up is on the way that will get temperatures to even above normal levels by this weekend!  Best of all, most of the forecast period will feature dry conditions.  However, a major winter storm is brewing for next week that will bring a mixed bag of winter precipitation.

Today through Saturday, high pressure will be in control with scattered cloud cover to clear skies expected.  With the high pressure system shifting off the coast by tomorrow, winds will back to the southwest at 5 to 15 mph by this afternoon.  As a result, much warmer air will invade the Philadelphia and New York City metropolitan areas.  Temperatures this afternoon will rise into the mid to upper 20's for highs throughout the region.  Tomorrow, temperatures will range from the mid to upper 10's for lows and mid to upper 30's for highs.  On Saturday, temperatures will range from the lower to mid 20's for lows and lower to mid 40's for highs.

A cold front will approach on Sunday with scattered showers expected.  The showers will linger through the afternoon followed by clearing skies by the evening.  The Super Bowl is looking dry at MetLife Stadium.  Winds will veer from the southwest to northwest at 10 to 20 mph.  Temperatures will range fro the lower to mid 30's for lows and mid to upper 40's for highs.  Temperatures will fall through the 30's in the evening hours and into the 20's by the end of the football game.

An area of low pressure will pass to the south of the region on Monday afternoon with rain and snow showers changing over to snow showers.  A period of light snow will be possible with some minor accumulations, especially on cold surfaces.  Temperatures will range from the lower to mid 20's for lows and lower to mid 30's for highs.

An area of low pressure will organize in the Ohio River Valley and lift to the northeast on Tuesday with increasing clouds through the day.  The low pressure system is expected to redevelop off the Delaware coast on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning producing a variety of winter weather from periods of heavy snow, ice, and rain possible along the immediate coast.  The exact track and intensity of the storm is still uncertain and the potential exist for a significant region wide snow and ice storm.  Temperatures on Tuesday will range from the lower to mid 20's for lows and upper 30's to lower 40's for highs.  Temperatures on Wednesday will range from the mid to upper 20's for lows and lower to mid 30's for highs.
