PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — February has certainly gotten off to a mild start with every single day so far running warmer than normal. and that trend looks to continue through the weekend.
We’re looking at a high temperature of 60 degrees in Philadelphia Saturday with a few sprinkles possible.
Once Monday arrives, however, the focus will shift to a storm system that will bring a change to the pattern and the threat of snow to the region.
A warm southwesterly flow ahead of an approaching cold front sent temperatures around 15 degrees warmer than normal on Saturday despite a blanket of clouds across the sky.
Many places Saturday afternoon, while well above normal, will likely fall a few degrees short of the record high temperatures for Feb. 10. The record high temperature in Philadelphia is 65 degrees, which will likely remain in tact with a forecast high of 60 degrees. Allentown, however, has a forecast high of 59 degrees which would break the record high temperature of 57 degrees.
