Clouds and rain continue Thursday in Philadelphia area, looking ahead to Memorial Day weekend forecast

Here we go again! Weather conditions on Thursday in the Philadelphia region will be very similar to what we had on Wednesday, which means a cloudy, chilly, breezy day with off-and-on rain throughout the day.

For the morning, we'll see pockets of steady rain that could slow down your commute.

Plan on having your umbrella with you, and needing it from time to time. While total rainfall doesn't look like it will lead to flooding, it will definitely impact folks who work outdoors and likely means indoor recess for the kids.  

Lingering showers and clouds are expected on Friday, but some late-day clearing is expected, and while temps will be noticeably warmer on Friday, the highs in the mid-upper 60s will be considerably lower than the normal high of 76 this time of year.

Memorial Day forecast in Philadelphia area

The rainy weather finally looks to start to clear out just in time to kick off the Memorial Day weekend. Temperatures look to remain a little cool on Saturday with highs in the upper 60s but get a little closer to normal in the middle 70s for Sunday. 

Memorial Day itself looks to stay mainly dry with some sunshine, but clouds may increase ahead of a disturbance that could bring showers Monday night.
