Bucks County will begin the day on Tuesday, April 23, under a morning frost advisory, but temperatures will zoom past seasonal highs by the afternoon.
If you’re getting ready to head out for the day or just want to know what to expect, here’s a look at the forecast from the National Weather Service.
Weather in Bucks County
Once the morning chill wears off, temperatures should warm up nicely by Tuesday afternoon, said Paul Fitzsimmons, lead meteorologist for the National Weather Service.
“Today we are going to be looking at high temperatures in the mid to upper 60s,” Fitzsimmons said. “A front could come through tonight into Wednesday that produce some showers and maybe a thunderstorm, but nothing too big.
“Temperatures are looking similar on Wednesday.”
The National Weather Service’s morning forecast alert on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, provided more information on the frosty start in Delaware Valley.
Good frosty morning to many of you! Temps in many areas are near or just below freezing, but should rise quickly into the 60s under mostly sunny skies. Don’t put those plant blankets away, though, as we may have some more frosty nights later this week. pic.twitter.com/yjuzp28iNd

“Good frosty morning to many of you! Temps in many areas are near or just below freezing, but should rise quickly into the 60s under mostly sunny skies,” read a portion of the weather service’s post. “Don’t put those plant blankets away, though, as we may have some more frosty nights later this week.”
The weather service provided additional detail and a peek ahead in an earlier post on X.
“Areas of frost early this AM then a mild afternoon. There is an elevated fire danger this afternoon due to increasing wind, low relative humidity and drying fuels,” read the weather service’s earlier post. “Some showers late tonight into Wednesday, then colder Wednesday night through Thursday night.”
