Chance of heavy rain, storms in Philadelphia region on Tuesday. Here's the weather forecast.
Good Tuesday, everyone! Today will be another day with a risk of heavy rain and storms, but it shouldn't be as widespread and severe as it was Monday, when many parts of the Philadelphia region picked up several inches of rain and numerous flash flood warnings were issued.
The main threat of rain today will be during the late afternoon and early evening, when the day's peak heating occurs, but stray showers are possible outside of that timeframe. Storms will be very spotty this afternoon, with just one or two spots, but the high humidity means that any storm can bring the risk of flooding. The severe risk is low.
Wednesday through Friday, we will have a more typical summer pattern with partly sunny skies and isolated storms each afternoon. Temperatures will also soar to either side of 90 during the day and mid-70s at night. High humidity will lead to heat indices that feel close to 100 degrees. We will be monitoring for any possible heat alerts.
The best day of the extended forecast looks to be Saturday, with highs in the upper 80s, plenty of sunshine and reasonable humidity levels. Fingers crossed that it holds, it would be nice to have a great weekend day after a potentially very wet week. Your NEXT Weather Team will keep you posted.
