Welcome to the 6abc Action News Weather Twitter page! Here you'll find updates from the Action News AccuWeather team for the Greater Philadelphia Area.
MORE DRY DAYS
If it seems like we've had a long stretch of dry days you are correct. When all is said and done this looks to last a total of at least 14 days, which would make it the longest in 2 years!
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!!
Kickoff temp for the Birds vs Cowboys will be right around 60 degrees. No weather issues for the big game tonight. Kickoff at 8:15pm and you can watch it right here on @6abc
This time next week, we'll return to Standard Time. While we'll get an extra hour of sleep after Halloween, we'll also be adjusting to our "new" sunrise & sunset times. Sunrise will temporarily shift from the 7 o'clock hour back to 6 o'clock...& 4PM sunsets return. @6abc
After a frosty start, this afternoon will be milder...with highs in the mid-60s. High pressure remains close by, meaning more sunshine & light winds. It's a great opportunity to get outside & check out the changing foliage if you haven't already! @6abc
High pressure is in control this weekend, keeping skies clear for stargazing! The October full moon peaks around midnight tomorrow into Monday. Not staying up that late? I don't blame you...look toward the eastern horizon around sunset for a great view! @6abc
Our first sunny weekend since Labor Day! As we close out the growing season, patchy frost/freeze is possible this morning & tomorrow morning. Highs in the low to mid-60s today...a few degrees warmer tomorrow! @6abc
PEAK COLOR MOVING SOUTH
We now have peak to high color in the Poconos and Lehigh Valley. With sunny days and cool nights colors have started to really progress. It will be a great weekend for a road trip to one of the state parks in these areas.
This nice stretch of weather continues right into next week! Tomorrow is a bit cooler, but even chillier air is with us both Saturday and Sunday mornings when we could have patchy frost and lows in the 30s.
Our sunny & dry stretch continues Thursday! We'll have to watch for spotty minor coastal flooding during the morning high tide at the shore. But outside of a light breeze, it's another really nice day with temperatures even a few degrees warmer than today.
MIDWEEK FORECAST
It will be another sunny day for inland locations with a few high clouds skirting the shore as our coastal storm stays well offshore. Temperatures right around seasonable levels.
MINOR COASTAL FLOODING
We are now at high tide along the ocean front in what is the first of several high tides that will bring minor coastal flooding and additional beach erosion at the shore.
We're in for another sunshiney, bright day! While it'll be breezy even inland, expect high temperatures near 70°. With a nearly stationary storm offshore, wind gusts around 35mph are possible along the coast. Minor tidal flooding possible later today. @6abc
Wishing @6abcadamjoseph all the best in his new role. He is a great meteorologist and will excel at leading our team. We have weathered many storms together and look forward to many more. All the best to a great colleague and friend.
Longtime meteorologist Adam Joseph has been named chief meteorologist for Action News, 6abc announced Monday, succeeding Cecily Tynan. https://t.co/WjqkW2zc7v
