Philadelphia weather: Possible severe weather Sunday evening as front pushes through
The Brief
While much of Sunday will be precipitation free, rain moves in for the late afternoon and evening.
The risk of possible severe weather does exist for some, as well as the possibility of an isolated tornado.
PHILADELPHIA - Sunday will be a dry day, though windy, so the luck of the Irish shines on the Philadelphia St. Patrick's Day parade. But, later in the day, rain and some thunderstorms will move into the region.
What we know
A cold front is making its way to the Philadelphia area. It's the same system that has brought devastation to the Midwest and the South, resulting sadly in deaths, due to tornadoes.
While we won't see the same devastating impacts, some severe weather is possible and an isolated tornado can't be ruled out.
Sunday
Most of Sunday will be dry, but very windy. Temperatures will reach the mid to upper 60s, but with the strong wind gusts, it will feel cooler.
If you're heading to the parade, the winds will be very strong, so dress appropriately for that.
Stormy weather
Storms will begin to move into the region by late afternoon, approaching from the west.
The storms will continue to push west to east, and the main threat will likely be damaging wind gusts. The rain will take its time pulling offshore, lingering into early Monday morning.
What's next
Monday morning will likely see some leftover rain showers and windy conditions, before skies clear out for Monday night. Temps will likely only reach the middle 50s.
Most of the week will see pleasant conditions, with highs in the mid to upper 60s and sunny skies.
Thursday will be the next rain chance, ahead of a steep drop in temps for Friday, as another front moves in, bringing blustery conditions and temperatures only in the mid-40s.

Hosepipe ban in parts of Donegal, Meath and Westmeath
A hose pipe ban has been introduced in Milford in County Donegal, Mullingar in County Westmeath, and Kells-Oldcastle in County Meath amid concerns over very low water levels. The restrictions will apply from Tuesday and will last for six weeks. Uisce Éireann (Irish Water) has said dry conditions stretching back to last autumn, through winter, and into spring have led to a sharp drop in water supply at key reservoirs. Milford in County Donegal is supplied by Lough Colmcille. Both it and Lough Bane, which serves the Kells-Oldcastle area, are at historically low levels. Lough Owel, which supplies Mullingar, is now at its lowest level for 50 years. The water conservation order bans the use of hose pipes for domestic and certain non-domestic uses, such as watering gardens outside businesses. The organisation says this is aimed at preserving water for essential services. "The past 12 months have been drier than normal when compared to the long-term average" according to Margaret Attridge, head of water operations. "This means that some water sources which traditionally would have replenished over the winter period have not seen the same level of recovery." "As a result, we are starting to experience issues with water availability at these sources," Ms Attridge said Despite the targeted nature of the restrictions the utility has urged all households and businesses across Ireland to use water wisely as the country enters the summer months. Earlier in 2025 Irish weather service, Met Éireann, reported that rainfall was below average at most weather stations in the Republic during winter. The organisation also reported that autumn in 2024 was the 17th driest since records began in 1940. In Northern Ireland, NI Water has said reservoirs are at a healthy position for the time of year despite experiencing a winter and spring with less than average rainfall. "Rain in mid-April helped bring reservoir levels back up to 93% capacity" according to Water Supply Manager, Maynard Cousley. "However, it is a timely reminder that our weather patterns are changing and we cannot take our water supply for granted. "We must use our water supply wisely so we can conserve it for when we need it most." The EU's Copernicus climate service has placed Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland into a drought warning status, moving from a drought watch status earlier in 2025. This indicates low rainfall is now accompanied by declining soil-moisture levels and the first signs of vegetation stress. Across Northern Ireland river flows in March ended the month "exceptionally low".
