- Monday brings mostly cloudy skies, leftover morning sprinkles, and patchy fog across the Philadelphia region.
- Temperatures will be stuck in the 50s and low 60s — well below normal for this time of year.
- A dry and sunny Tuesday offers brief relief before showers return Wednesday through Thursday.
- The good news: sunshine and 80-degree warmth are on the way by the weekend.
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — If you were hoping for a bright and warm start to the week, Monday has other plans for the Philadelphia region.
Expect a mostly cloudy sky as you head out the door, with a few leftover sprinkles and showers carrying over from Sunday into the morning hours. Some patchy fog could also develop early, so give yourself extra time if you are driving.
Temperatures will feel noticeably cool, with highs reaching only the mid-50s to low 60s across the region. The city itself may touch 64 degrees at best — a far cry from the warmer days locals were enjoying just last week.
Why It Feels So Much Colder Than Usual
This stretch of cooler-than-normal temperatures is not just a one-day event.
Tuesday stays below seasonal averages too, though the trade-off is worth it — expect bright, sunny skies and a high near 70. A great day to get outside before the next round of wet weather moves in.
That next round arrives Wednesday afternoon and stretches into Thursday, bringing scattered showers back to the region.
Timing matters here: the rain could directly affect the start of the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club. If you are planning to attend or follow coverage, keep that in mind.
Day-by-Day Forecast for the Philadelphia Region
Here is what the next seven days look like:
- Monday: Mostly cloudy. High 64, low 52.
- Tuesday: Bright and sunny. High 70, low 46.
- Wednesday: Late showers. High 73, low 53.
- Thursday: Scattered rain. High 69, low 55.
- Friday: Clearing out. High 72, low 52.
- Saturday: Sunny and warm. High 81, low 55.
- Sunday: Sunny and warm. High 84, low 62.
The Weekend Forecast Is Worth the Wait
Friday brings clearing skies and a return to the low 70s — a welcome sign that the unsettled stretch is wrapping up.
Then Saturday and Sunday deliver what everyone has been waiting for. Highs of 81 and 84 degrees respectively, with plenty of sunshine both days. It will feel like a completely different week by the time the weekend arrives.
So yes, Monday is grey and chilly. But hold on — the 80s are coming, and they are only a few days away.
