Philadelphia weather: Rain returns Tuesday night as wet weather pattern continues

PHILADELPHIA - A mix of clouds and sun was the order for Tuesday and the evening will be dry, as temps remain in the lower 80s.

But, be aware, into the overnight hours, as some showers and thunderstorms will develop across the region. Not everyone will see the precipitation, but those who do will see locally heavy rainfall with some areas seeing up to one and a half inches per hour.

Flash flooding is possible, so keep that in mind if you are traveling in the overnight hours.

Wednesday will dry out and the sun should break through cloud cover by the afternoon. The late afternoon and early evening could see more rain and thunderstorm activity for some. Temps should reach into the mid-80s.

Thursday should again see thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening, with temps in the mid-80s.

Friday and into the weekend, the rain chances drop, but buckle up for another potential heat wave, perhaps beginning Sunday.
