Tracking rain Tuesday in Philadelphia region that will stretch into Wednesday. Here's the weather forecast.
The NEXT Weather team is tracking rain that's expected to impact the Philadelphia area later this evening and keep roads wet for the Wednesday morning commute.
Rain begins between 10 p.m. and midnight, but the heaviest showers will come overnight.
A NEXT Weather Alert will be in effect through the evening and into the Wednesday morning commute.
How to plan
Skies look to stay dry during any afternoon errands and the evening commute, but keep the umbrella ready for later this evening.
In the Lehigh Valley, rain could mix with some wet snow. At even higher elevations in the Poconos, expect an inch or two of wet snow by sunrise Wednesday.

The cool and cloudy weather pattern continues for the next several days. You'll want to have rain gear ready for Wednesday since showers will continue until about 9 a.m. The rest of the day will be cloudy but dry.
Thursday is shaping up to be another cool and cloudy day with highs in the upper 40s. Another round of light showers is possible late at night.
