PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — After a frigid morning with lows in the teens and single digits far north and west, high temperatures rebounded into the 40’s across much of the region Wednesday.
The temperature in Philadelphia finally rose above the freezing mark at 9 a.m. Wednesday after a 42-hour sub-freezing stretch.
Highs will top a bit above average Thursday as the day will serve as the calm before bitter cold returns and a powerful storm arrives. An arctic cold front is set to drop in on Friday after which the winds will turn gusty and temperatures plummet. Wind chills will fall into the teens by Friday evening.
Expect a frigid start to the weekend with sub-zero wind chills, likely region-wide. Dangerous cold will develop in the Poconos with winds chills as cold minus-30 degrees late Friday night into early Saturday.
