Rain to continue in Philadelphia area Wednesday into Thursday. Here's the forecast.
Get ready for our next round of major changes for the Philadelphia region on Wednesday, including March-like temps along with heavy rain, especially during the first part of the day.
Temperatures both Wednesday and Thursday will likely struggle to climb out of the 50s, with overnight lows remaining around 50 degrees. A second burst of heavier rain is likely starting around 10 p.m. Wednesday into early Thursday morning, when thunder is also possible.
At this time, total rainfall may end up in the 1-2 inches range by Friday, and since it will spread out over a few days, widespread flooding isn't a huge concern, though localized flooding is possible in the heaviest bands.
The rainy weather finally looks to start to clear out just in time to kick off the Memorial Day weekend.
Temperatures look to remain a little cool Saturday with highs in the upper 60s, but get a little closer to normal in the middle 70s for Sunday.
Memorial Day itself looks to stay mainly dry with some sunshine, but clouds may increase ahead of a disturbance that could bring showers Monday night.
Normal high temperature for this time of year is in the mid-70s. Every day in the seven-day forecast is below normal for late May.
