Philadelphia weather: Multiple rounds of rain Wednesday, possible thunderstorms in the evening
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Temperatures will reach the 60s Wednesday, but with that warm air comes multiple rounds of rain.
The morning starts mild with lows in the 50s but rain starts to fill in around the city between 10 a.m. and noon. Areas north and west, namely Berks County, the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos, will see that steady rain a bit earlier in the morning.
But because of the marginal risk for severe weather in some parts of the Delaware Valley tonight, we've upgraded Wednesday to a NEXT Weather Alert Day.
A Wind Advisory goes into effect for the entire Delaware Valley from 10 a.m. until 4 a.m. Thursday.
High temperatures will be around 64, but rain continues on and off throughout the day.
By noon steady rain has arrived, and we could hear a rumble of thunder.
Expect to see a bit of a lull between noon and 4 p.m., but a scattered shower is possible and winds will start to pick up.
The height of this storm comes between 4 and 8 p.m. This is when we can expect to see heavy rain, thunderstorms, possibly some lightning and the strongest wind gusts, some upwards of 40 mph.
When you're heading home tonight, expect a slow, wet drive.
Conditions will clear up and dry out by midnight, but temperatures will drop significantly.
