Wet Wednesday in Philadelphia region will create slick driving conditions. Here's the weather forecast.
You'll need coats, hats and gloves for a good portion of Wednesday in the Philadelphia region. While the morning starts cold — but much warmer than Tuesday — it will be dry.
For this afternoon, be sure the windshield wipers are working and your umbrella is nearby, because chilly rain showers are likely for the afternoon and early evening hours around a good portion of our area. And the farther points north could see snow and even an icy glaze on the roads that could slow down travel.
For those reasons, we've issued a NEXT Weather Alert through Wednesday afternoon.
Our NEXT big weather maker
A fast-moving clipper system dropping out of the Great Lakes brings a windy, cold rain that will make roads slippery and life uncomfortable. This rain begins later this afternoon after 1 p.m.
In the Poconos, there is a Winter Weather advisory for 1 to 3 inches of snow and some glaze ice.
The Lehigh Valley may see a coating of snow and a light glaze.
Temperatures will reach the low to mid-40s around the region Wednesday.
Looking ahead, another system may bring light rain or snow to the region both Friday night and Saturday night into Sunday, followed by yet another possibly colder blast of Arctic air. Get ready to layer up for a COLD Eagles game on Sunday.
