Discussion
High pressure will continue to control our weather today, but clouds will increase late tonight and early Thursday as yet another strong storm system develops in the southeastern states. Moisture will spread northeastward on Thursday and rain is likely to develop here during the afternoon hours and it’ll be heavy at times on Thursday night and Friday and there can be a few thunderstorms mixed in. Given the already well-saturated grounds, localized flooding will likely become a concern during this latest in a series of soaking rain events. Rain totals for the year at Philly Airport (PHL) are now over 55 inches which ranks second on the list behind the record of 64.33" set in 2011. Colder and drier air will pour into the region on Saturday following the storm and winds will become quite strong out of the northwest.
