Storms, humidity return to the Philadelphia region Wednesday. Here's the weather forecast.
Rain showers got Wednesday started for most of the Philadelphia area, but that morning precipitation will taper off through midday.
More showers, however, will redevelop into the afternoon as the heat of the day builds and a warm front lifts north through the region.
Parts of the Philadelphia region are under a Flash Flood Warning until 5 p.m.
A couple of showers or thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon could produce some locally heavy rainfall, but severe weather is not that much of a concern.
Meanwhile, temperatures will warm into the mid-80s, but with the elevated humidity, it will feel more like the low 90s through the day.
NEXT big weather changes
The next big change comes in three forms — heat, humidity, and storm risks.
Thursday through the weekend will feature daily chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly during the afternoon and evening.
It will not rain all day or everywhere each day, but outdoor plans may need some flexibility as the unsettled summer pattern continues.
It's looking like a heat wave may begin Thursday with highs in the low 90s each day through the weekend.
In addition, the humidity levels will skyrocket, with dewpoint temperatures in the mid-upper 70s for most of the remainder of the week.
Get ready to sweat, big time, if you are going to be outdoors — highs in the low 90s will feel like the triple digits through the weekend.
The good news is that by Sunday, the rain chances look to drop to near zero for the back half of the weekend into early next week.
