February 29th, 2008 Forecast
This afternoon into this evening: Enjoy the cold weather. Temperatures are struggling to break 30 in Philadelphia (still short of that mark as of 1 PM in the city) and if you are north and west of the city, you will be staying in the 20's this afternoon. Wind chills will be in the teens from Philadelphia on north and west with low 20's south of the city. Drive-home temperatures should be around 30 in Philadelphia.
Tonight: Skies will become clear and temperatures will drop during a cold late winter's night. Low temperatures will be in the teens tonight across much of the region and near 20 in Center City. Winds will be light so wind chills will not be much lower than the real air temperature.
Friday: Clear skies to start will give way to increasing clouds in the afternoon. A cold front will be heading east, spreading rain and snow showers across the region during the evening and overnight hours. Temperatures should get close to 40 in the city and the 30's in the burbs outside of the city. Rain/snow showers should move into the north & west burbs after 5 PM and into the city after 6.
Weekend sneak peak: Saturday will feature breezy and cool conditions with any snow showers ending in the morning. Sunshine should break through the clouds in the afternoon and temperatures should get into the low 40's in the city. Sunday will be the nicer of the upcoming two weekend days as mostly sunny skies and a lack of real cold air in the wake of the cold front will help drive temperatures into the mid and upper 40's. The warming trend continues into Monday and Tuesday before a large storm system moves through the region Tuesday afternoon and evening with some significant rainfall for the region.Eskimos To Sue: Kivalina, AK, residents (including eskimos) are filing a lawsuit against nine oil companies, 14 power companies, and a coal company because those companies, the eskimos claim, contribute to global warming with their carbon dioxide emissions.
