Philadelphia weather: Mild temps will help melt leftover snow
Mild temperatures in the days ahead will help melt inches of snow leftover from Monday's blizzard.
Light flurries Wednesday; mild air to aid snowmelt
What's next:
Forecasters say snow flurries will move across the Philadelphia region early Wednesday morning, but they are not expected to bring more than a nuisance amount of snow.
Milder temperatures in the upper 40s are forecast for Wednesday, which should help melt slushy snow leftover from Monday’s storm.
Conditions are expected to continue improving into the weekend, with temperatures climbing into the 50s and more sunshine helping crews and residents make progress on cleanup.
FOX 29 meteorologists say that while the Wednesday snow won’t be severe, the milder air this week will aid snowmelt after the historic blizzard.
