Scattered showers remain after flash flooding washes out roads in Philadelphia suburbs
PHILADELPHIA - Scattered showers will linger on Monday after a round of overnight storms ended the 4th of July holiday weekend with a dazzling lightning show.
What we know:
A damp and dreary Monday with bouts of showers and possible thunderstorms will kick off the post-Independence Day workweek in Philadelphia.
A flash flood warning that was issued for Philadelphia Monday morning through the early afternoon expired just after 2 p.m. A quick burst of showers inundated several local roads, including Route 38 in Cherry Hill.
Another area of flooding was right at the foot of the Ben Franklin Bridge on Route 676 in Camden. Cornwalls Heights near northeast Philadelphia also saw intense flash flooding.
What's next:
The risk of rain will continue on Tuesday, but forecasters expect it to be mostly cloudy with highs barely breaking 80 degrees. Sunshine will reemerge by midweek as the region readies for another warmup.
Temperatures will reach 87 degrees with sunshine on Thursday, and return to the 90s by Friday.
An early look at the weekend shows a near-perfect summer weekend, with sunshine and highs in the upper 80s.
