Overnight into Friday, temps will be chilly, but not as cold as Thursday morning, with lows in the lower 30s, under clear skies.

Friday will be a mostly sunny day with highs in the mid-50s. Almost like an early spring reprieve.

New Year’s Eve will be unseasonably warm, with highs near 60 degrees, but the rainfall will move in after lunch. Those heading out to parties will see mild temps, with rain.

The rain moves out in time for the Mummers to strut down Broad Street or to tailgate at the Linc, ahead of The Eagles taking on the New Orleans Saints. The afternoon will be mild and breezy, under partly cloudy to cloudy conditions.
