Philadelphia Region Faces Storms and Sharp Cold Snap

The Philadelphia and Central Pennsylvania region faced warm conditions and potentially severe storms Friday, with damaging winds the main concern and an isolated tornado possible. Much colder, gusty weather followed, with overnight temperatures in the 30s. Frost and isolated freezes were forecast for Sunday morning, followed by sunshine and a gradual return to seasonable temperatures early in the week. A nearby coastal system could bring unsettled weather and coastal hazards, especially near the shore, though its inland effects remained uncertain.
