Discussion               

It looks like a soaking rain event is on the way for the Philly metro region from late today into early Wednesday and that will not be the end of the rain for this active weather week.  Low pressure will pass nearby later tonight and then a cold front will approach the area later Thursday with additional rain and maybe even a thunderstorm.  An upper-level low will keep it unsettled around here on Friday and Saturday and it’ll be on the cool side.  Looking ahead, there are signs for a decent warm up next week in the eastern states.
