Philadelphia weather: Warm-up forecasted for the Delaware Valley, but there's a catch
Weather Authority: Monday morning update
Temperatures on the rise Monday, reaching a high of 36 degrees.
PHILADELPHIA – The Delaware Valley is slated for a much-needed warm-up after rounds of snow and frigid temperatures over the last several days sent the area into a deep freeze.
The thaw out will begin modestly on Monday when high temperatures in Philadelphia and beyond reach above freezing with sunny skies to help the snow melt.
Temperatures on Tuesday will continue to climb into the 40s in most places, but widespread cloud cover will set the tone for incoming rounds of rain.
Most of the Delaware Valley will notice a quick-hitting rush of rain early Wednesday morning, leading to gloomy cloud cover with temperatures above 40 degrees.
More rain will engulf the region Wednesday night and into Thursday morning, with heavy downpours at times in parts of southeastern Pennsylvania and South Jersey.
FOX 29’s Sue Serio forecasts a meaningful jump in temperature during the daylight hours Thursday when highs are expected to hit the mid-50s.
The warming trend will hit its peak on Friday with highs forecasted to hit the low-60s, but another round of rain will likely spoil any chance to enjoy the balmy weather.
Sunshine is expected to return on Saturday with temperatures backpedaling into the low 50s, and more rain is anticipated on Sunday with another dip in temperatures.
The warm-up comes on the heels of a bitterly cold stretch that followed the region’s first significant snowstorm in nearly two years.
DELAWARE COUNTY, Ohio — People in Delaware County said it feels like new housing developments are popping up on every corner.

“What haven’t you noticed, right? The whole area just exploded,” said Scott Shonebarger.
Scott Sanders, the executive director of the Regional Planning Commission, said companies like Intel and other industries are a main driver for thousands of people moving to Delaware County.
With the big boom comes an urgent need for more housing.
John Wicks is the developer at Real Property Design and Development.
He has spent over a decade building homes for families in Delaware County.
Wicks said the Olentangy School District is one of the hottest spots for new homes.
“I started with one high school up until the 90s, then now we’re up to four up to five different high schools so it’s just a big draw,” said Wicks. “It’s a beautiful community.”
The district has grown into the fourth largest in Ohio with a new elementary school opening next year, and a fifth high school in 2028.
Wicks said the growth has presented some challenges over the years like labor shortage and some opposition.
“It’s become a big issue for a lot of people that live in and around these areas. They tend to oppose new growth and new development, so restrictions have gotten a little bit harder. Costs have obviously gone up over the last 20 years,” said Wicks.
The planning commission says between 275,000 and 350,000 people could call Delaware County home by 2040.
That’s up from 214,000 in 2020.
Scott Shonebarger said he supports growth but wonders when is enough.
“I mean to a certain extent I think you know at some point right you have to have some sort of boundaries I think, getting into the fact that now you have five high schools,” said Shonebarger. “What’s the limit?”
Police in Wilmington, Delaware, shot and killed a 19-year-old man Wednesday night.
The incident happened in a residential area near 24th and Jessup streets just after 11 p.m., Wilmington police said in a news release. The person who was shot has not been publicly identified.
Officers were monitoring a large crowd gathered outside when they saw a man exit a home with a handgun and point it toward the crowd, police say.
