PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Tuesday starts quiet, but you might want to have the umbrella handy this afternoon.

Temperatures today will climb into the mid-60s, and the best time to get outside and take advantage will be in the early afternoon.

Clouds start moving in around 2 p.m. and winds pick up before showers start between 5 and 7 p.m., just in time to create a soggy evening commute.

Bands of showers will roll through Tuesday, overnight and throughout the day Wednesday.

There's some snow on the back end of this system, but meteorologist Kate Bilo says it's unlikely we'll see any of that in the city.
