Discussion              

Coastal low pressure will depart from southern New England today and chilly high pressure will begin to build into the region from our west.  Temperatures will remain below-normal here at mid-week as they’ll climb towards the 50 degree mark for afternoon highs (normal high now at PHL is 56 degrees). Winds pick up on Thursday and It turns even colder with the arrival of a reinforcing cold air mass after a frontal passage. This next cold shot will keep temperatures far below-normal from tomorrow all the way from tomorrow into the early part of next week and temperatures this weekend temperatures will struggle to escape the 30’s for afternoon highs.
