PM showers develop Thursday in Philadelphia region before widespread rainy weather Friday
After Thursday started nicely with sunshine, mild temps and dry air, passing showers are returning during the afternoon.
Showers will mainly be seen in the northern parts of the area and for most of us it will stay sunny and warm, with a high temperature near 80 degrees.
Friday, widespread rain will impact our entire area. We've made it a NEXT Weather Alert Day to keep you aware as this could impact your commute or your backyard, with potential for flooding as 2-3 inches of rain could fall in some spots.
We'll see waves of rain through the day that could be heavy at times, and there could even be some rumbles of thunder into the evening.
This may make things challenging for the golfers in the Truist Championship.
That storm system looks to head out by Saturday morning, opening the door for a nice weekend. No major issues are expected. There will be nice weather for the Lung Force Walk on Saturday morning, and even warmer temperatures for Mother's Day Sunday with highs in the low 80s.
