CHESTER COUNTY, PA — It’s shaping up to be a quintessential late-October week across Chester County — the kind that reminds you why fall is the undisputed champ of Pennsylvania weather. Expect crisp mornings, cool afternoons, and just enough sunshine to make you consider raking those leaves (or at least think about it before heading back inside for coffee).
Today starts things off on a bright note with mostly sunny skies and a high near 59. Winds will be calm, eventually picking up slightly from the northeast around 5 mph — barely enough to rustle the last stubborn leaves still clinging to the trees.
Tonight brings a chill, with temperatures dropping to around 36 degrees under partly cloudy skies. It’s the kind of night that calls for an extra blanket — or maybe just one more episode before bed if you’re not ready to face the cold sheets.
Monday continues the pleasant streak with sunny skies and a high near 56, followed by another clear and chilly night in the mid-30s. By Tuesday, we’ll see a repeat performance — mostly sunny with a high near 56 again — though a light northeast breeze could gust up to 20 mph. Keep a jacket handy if you’re headed out; it’ll feel brisk, especially in the shade.
Clouds begin to creep back in Tuesday night, bringing a slight 20% chance of showers — not enough to cancel plans, but maybe enough to frizz your hair if you’re caught without an umbrella.
Midweek, Wednesday keeps things mostly sunny with a high near 57 before conditions start to change. By Wednesday night, rain chances increase to about 50%, and Thursday looks like the week’s soggy troublemaker. Expect rain mainly in the afternoon with a 60% chance of precipitation and highs near 56. It’s perfect weather for soup, flannel, and pretending your car isn’t due for a wash.
Rain will likely continue into Thursday night before tapering off by Friday, when a few lingering showers could hang around early in the day. Highs will stay in the low 50s, and skies will begin to clear for a brighter weekend.
Saturday wraps up the week on a cheerful note with sunshine and a high near 56 — ideal for trick-or-treat prep, fall festivals, or one last leaf-peeping drive before November sneaks in.
