High pressure will bring sunny, dry conditions to Philadelphia to begin the week, but rain will arrive by midweek.
High temperatures early this week will be held a few degrees below normal. It may feel cool for many after high temperatures were in the 70s F last Tuesday through Thursday.

Cooler Conditions Ahead

According to AccuWeather Meteorologist Evan Duffey, "Cooler air will quickly return by Monday and Tuesday, leading to a chilly start to the week."
The normal temperature for this time of year in Philadelphia are in the lower 60s.

Anyone going to get a last look of the fall foliage, go apple picking or collect pumpkins for Halloween will need to bring along sunglasses as the sun will brighten the sky.
"It should at least look nice though, with high pressure bringing plenty of sunshine," Duffey said.
By midweek, a storm system will move across the Northeast and bring a soaking rainfall.

Any rain will be beneficial as the city has only received 0.29 of an inch of rain since Oct. 4. Philadelphia has only received 74 percent of its normal rainfall in October.
Rainfall totals could range between 0.50 of an inch to 2 inches.
Rain will depart toward the end of the week.
