Philadelphia woke Sunday to rain, with low ceilings and reduced visibility in heavier showers. Showers will continue through the day, while north winds push temperatures only into the mid-60s and occasionally gust as high as 40 mph.
The National Weather Service has a Wind Advisory in effect through noon Sunday in Pennsylvania, while advisories remain in effect for the rest of the region. The combination of wet pavement, reduced visibility and strong crosswinds could make driving more difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles and anyone traveling near trees or exposed areas.
Rain chances will be highest Sunday morning, with additional showers possible into the afternoon and overnight. The forecast calls for 1 to 2 inches of rain in Philadelphia, and the storm’s slow departure means the soggy pattern will linger after the heaviest bursts ease.
Monday Brings A Slow Improvement
Monday should be a transition day, with lingering showers possible. The high is expected to reach about 68 degrees, while winds diminish.
That is a meaningful update from the earlier Hoodline forecast, which warned Philadelphia about the storm’s rain and wind threat heading into the weekend. The latest outlook now shows the roughest conditions concentrated on Sunday, followed by a much quieter stretch.
Sunshine Returns By Midweek
Tuesday turns partly sunny with a high near 74 degrees, followed by mostly sunny skies and highs near 77 on Wednesday. Thursday could feel almost like a different season, with mostly sunny conditions and a high around 81.
Shoreline Conditions Remain Dangerous
People heading toward the Jersey Shore or Delaware beaches should stay out of the water Sunday. The storm is producing dangerous rip currents, high surf and additional beach erosion, with breaking waves expected to reach 6 to 12 feet in some areas.
