How Helene will affect Philadelphia, suburbs
As Hurricane, now Post-Tropical Cyclone Helene pulls through the eastern portion of the US, the system will certainly bring some rain to the Philadelphia area, especially South Jersey.
PHILADELPHIA - Hurricane Helene was downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone on Friday afternoon, but its impacts will be felt throughout the east coast this weekend as its remnants move north.
Forecasters say Philadelphia and surrounding areas will spend the weekend dodging passing showers leftover from the once mighty Category 4 hurricane.
FOX 29's Drew Anderson says Philadelphia will remain on the "outer fringes" of the storm as it spins north, meaning the weekend won't be a total washout.
Forecasters believe the possibility for rain continues into Friday evening and lingering scattered storms are expected to continue overnight, leading to an unsettled Saturday with scattered showers and highs remaining in the low-to-mid 70s.
Most of the rain should be cleared by Sunday, but forecasters have not ruled out the threat of rain lingering through early next week.
