Sun and clouds make for beautiful Wednesday weather in Philadelphia. Here's the forecast.
After a fairly active weather day Tuesday in the Philadelphia region, Wednesday will be significantly quieter. We're seeing some overnight showers moving offshore and they'll be followed by a northwest breeze under a mix of sun and clouds.
The normal high is in the mid to low 70s, and we'll likely top out around 76 degrees during the afternoon. Drier air has moved in and you'll definitely feel the decrease in humidity compared to Tuesday when we had those storms.
On that note, The National Weather Service will be headed to Northampton County to assess a confirmed tornado that spawned around 3:50 p.m. Tuesday near Bangor. The results of that survey will be released later this week.
Wet end to the workweek; nice weekend weather
As we move into the end of the week another weather system will be approaching the area beginning Thursday. The first half of the day is pleasant, but the system will bring a chance of showers Thursday afternoon and evening.
That rain lingers into Friday, and we could see waves of rain through Friday morning into the early afternoon, which could create a few issues for the Truist Championship.
As of now, the majority of Mother's Day weekend is looking sunny, dry and mild. Nice weather is in the forecast for the Lung Force Walk on Saturday morning and even warmer for Mother's Day Sunday with highs in the low 80s.
