Chance of storms Tuesday in Philadelphia region, but relief from heat is on the way. Here's the forecast.

Temperatures look to stay below 90 degrees in the Philadelphia region for your Tuesday, meaning our sixth heat wave will likely come to an end.

The threat of storms continues Tuesday as a front approaches the Philadelphia area. There could be a morning shower in the western part of the region, but otherwise it will be partly cloudy with plenty of humidity.

Tuesday evening into the overnight hours, we could see scattered showers and thunderstorms, with some storms again capable of becoming strong to severe.

Heading into Wednesday, Tuesday night's storms will gradually clear out, and humidity will subside a bit.

It'll start to feel a little more comfortable out there. Temperatures should trend closer to the 80s later in the week.
