Discussion
The grounds are already well saturated in the Philly metro region after recent soaking rains and there is more significant rainfall on the way. Tropical moisture is riding northward from the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico and it is now firmly entrenched in the eastern third of the nation. Disturbances in the upper atmosphere will head our way from the Midwest over the next few days and tap into this abundant moisture and the result will be occasional showers and embedded thunderstorms and some of the rain will fall heavily at times.
