Discussion
A wet stretch of weather is coming to the Philly metro region. First, there will likely be occasional showers this afternoon, tonight and on Friday and perhaps a thunderstorm or two mixed in as well. Then, a soaking rain is likely on Friday night and Saturday as a significant storm heads to the Mid-Atlantic coastline. On Sunday, Mother’s Day, while there will be some improvement, the atmosphere will remain quite unstable with cold air aloft associated with another deep upper-level low. This instability should lead to some clouds and a couple of showers cannot be ruled out. In addition, Sunday will remain quite cool for this time of year and the breeze will be noticeable. Much warmer air will blast into the Northeast US by the middle of next week.
