Pennsylvania – Rain-speckled windshields and slick pavement are already slowing traffic across Philadelphia this morning, especially along I-76 and I-95 where visibility dips in steady drizzle. Showers are expected to taper by late morning, but roads stay wet into early afternoon, keeping commute times longer than usual.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers will end before midday, with only light additional rainfall expected—generally under 0.10 inches. Temperatures climb to 67°F this afternoon as winds shift from south to west at 5 to 10 mph. Clouds linger, but brighter breaks develop later in the day.
Conditions turn calmer tonight with partial clearing and lows near 50°F. By Thursday afternoon, the region flips into full spring mode. Sunshine dominates, and highs surge to 75°F across Philadelphia, South Jersey, and northern Delaware. Light northwest winds keep conditions comfortable for outdoor plans.
That warm stretch doesn’t hold. A weak system returns Friday with a slight 20% chance of showers during the day, increasing to 50% by evening. Roads could become slick again for the evening commute. Plan ahead if traveling.
The weekend trends wetter. Showers become likely Saturday, with a 70% chance of rain and highs cooling to 52°F. Periods of rain continue into Saturday night and early Sunday before tapering. Expect reduced visibility and ponding on roadways like Roosevelt Boulevard.
Drivers should stay alert for slick conditions, especially late at night when temperatures dip into the mid-40s. That’s close enough for isolated flash-freezing on untreated surfaces if skies briefly clear.
