Rain will create messy travel conditions Tuesday in Philadelphia region. Here's the weather forecast.
Rain will move into the Philadelphia area late Tuesday afternoon, which could affect travel. It'll be a slow go this evening with the combination of normal evening rush hour traffic plus added holiday travel. Umbrellas and waterproof jackets for the evening hours.
What's NEXT?
It's been a cloudy but dry start to our Tuesday, but that's about to change. Showers will creep in by mid-afternoon with a round of steady rain just in time for the evening drive. Overnight brings a break in the rain before another quick-hitting round of rain hits between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. Wednesday.
A NEXT Weather Alert is in effect from noon until Wednesday morning.
A second system to the north, which is bringing heavy snow to the northern plains, will send a cold front toward our region Wednesday. It will turn blustery ahead of the evening cold front. Winds could lead to airport delays, but the southwest wind means we'll surge into the 60s.
Thanksgiving is trending windy and much colder, with highs in the 40s and wind chills in the 30s, so it's not the nicest day to do your turkey on the smoker or fryer. For any of those doing a turkey trot 5K, you'll need to wear lots of layers.
Friday looks to be even colder with gustier winds. Windchills early will be in the low 20s, so layer, layer, layer if you're headed to the Eagles game or out for some Black Friday shopping. The chilly weather will last into the final weekend of November.
