Mummers parade forecast: Sunny, cold stretch continues on New Year's Day
PHILADELPHIA - A cold and sunny first day of 2026 is ahead for Philadelphia's annual Mummers Parade in the wake of light snow that swept across the region hours into the new year.

A snow squall dropped a fresh coating of snow on parts of the Philadelphia area early Thursday morning.
Parts west of the city were the first to see flakes as the system headed east to Philly, then to the shore.
The brief snowstorm wasn't much, but it was enough to leave untreated surfaces blanked in snow.
