Philadelphia weather: Fog early Tuesday, isolated shower possible before widespread rain Wednesday
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Low clouds and fog get our Tuesday start with relatively mild temperatures. Temps in the 40s this morning are more in line with where our normal high temperatures are this time of year.
High temperatures will be in the low-middle 50s this afternoon despite generally cloudy and humid conditions through the day.
A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. for the Lehigh Valley. A advisory for Philadelphia and South Jersey has been canceled.
There will be a small chance for a few isolated showers west of the I-95 corridor, but most of the area will remain dry Tuesday. Patchy fog will redevelop tonight as more widespread rain approaches from the west. Most of the rain will remain west of the area through the first half of Wednesday, but by lunchtime widespread showers with pockets of heavy rain will move in.
While this system won't be as strong as last weeks soaker, some areas could still experience minor flooding due to the already saturated ground from the recent rain. This will primarily be in low lying areas typically subject to flooding.
After somewhat of an unsettled pattern through the week things will calm down this weekend as more seasonable temperatures return and hang around into the new year.
Scattered showers are back in the forecast for Friday, with a few flakes possibly mixing in north and west.
Temperatures will remain mild for the season and in the 50s through Friday, before sunshine and temps in the low 40s move in for the weekend.
Here's your 7-day forecast:
Tuesday: High of 53, fog early
