WEST CHESTER, PA — Good morning, Chester County! If last week’s icy drama left you shivering, this week’s weather might feel like a well-deserved intermission—at least until the weekend, when Mother Nature could throw us a surprise mix of rain and snow. Here’s your day-by-day breakdown to help you plan your week, whether it’s a stroll through the park or hiding indoors with a hot cup of coffee.
Sunday, January 26, 2025
Today’s forecast serves up a classic winter mix. Expect mostly cloudy skies and a high near 39°F, paired with a west wind blowing steadily at 10 mph, gusting up to 25 mph. It’s a “hold onto your hats” kind of day—literally. Tonight, the clouds stick around with a low of 22°F. The wind calms down too, giving you one less reason to juggle your scarf while trying to open the car door.
Monday, January 27, 2025
Monday offers a generous serving of sunshine with a crisp high near 38°F. If you need a mood boost, this might be your day for a lunchtime walk—just remember to dress warmly. West winds will range from 5 to 15 mph but could gust as high as 30 mph, which is perfect for testing the durability of your favorite winter hat. By night, the skies turn partly cloudy, and temperatures drop to 28°F. A southwest wind will swoop in, ensuring you feel every bit of that chill.
Tuesday, January 28, 2025
Tuesday keeps the pattern going with partly sunny skies and a high near 39°F. However, breezy west winds at 15 to 20 mph—with gusts up to 30 mph—will ensure you hold onto those layers tightly. Tuesday night cools to a low near 26°F under partly cloudy skies. It’s the kind of evening perfect for bundling up with your favorite blanket and pretending spring is just around the corner.
Wednesday, January 29, 2025
Midweek brings a pleasant surprise with partly sunny skies and a slightly warmer high near 46°F. Yes, you read that right—almost 50°F! Go ahead and enjoy this brief flirtation with milder weather, but don’t pack away the winter coat just yet. By night, temperatures drop to a brisk 22°F, with partly cloudy skies to keep the stars company.
Thursday, January 30, 2025
Thursday cools things back down with sunny skies and a high near 33°F. You’ll want that heavier coat again for anything outdoors. The evening brings partly cloudy skies and a low of 21°F, ideal for one more log on the fire or perhaps an extra marshmallow in your hot cocoa.
Friday, January 31, 2025
Here’s where the forecast gets interesting. Friday appears mostly sunny during the day, with a high near 37°F. However, there’s a 30% chance of rain late in the day. (Pro-tip: Keep an umbrella handy, just in case!) Friday night introduces a 40% chance of snow, with temperatures falling to 24°F. It might be time to dust off that snow shovel you reluctantly put away earlier this week.
Saturday, February 1, 2025
Saturday closes the week with a potential encore of winter’s greatest hits—a 40% chance of rain and snow under partly sunny skies, with a high near 41°F. If the past few weekends have taught you anything, it’s this: flexibility is your best friend when dealing with unpredictable weather.
Tips for Navigating the Week
- Stay wind-friendly: Those gusty days could make even the best umbrella act like it’s auditioning for a flying scene. Dress comfortably for the breezy conditions.
- Be spontaneous (but prepared): Sunshine and mild temps might tempt you into impromptu plans, but keep an umbrella or gloves in the car for quick weather shifts.
- Weekend warriors, beware: The chance of snow and rain Friday night into Saturday could make outdoor plans slippery—or slushy.
