Mostly sunny Tuesday in Philadelphia region, chance of evening showers. Here's the weather forecast.
Patchy fog in low-lying areas will clear out Tuesday morning and cloud cover will subside as the sun comes up. Expect a day of mild, sunny weather across the Philadelphia region, at least until the evening.
Tuesday night, a disturbance will roll across the southern part of the region, with the potential for light rain especially for South Jersey and Delaware.
We could use all the rain we can get with drought conditions still in place - but thankfully beneficial rain fell across the Philadelphia area on Monday, with a good half an inch to 1 inch through New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware.
Between the two systems, parts of South Jersey could get as much as an inch of rain, which is a good thing as parts of inland South Jersey are in an extreme drought and a weekend wildfire has burned nearly 2,000 acres near Shamong and Hammonton. Unfortunately, the rain won't be enough to end the drought.
The rest of the week looks dry after Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday will be a little cooler with highs back in the mid-50s. Shower chances return this weekend.
