Discussion
A powerful storm system will bring heavy rain to the Philly metro region tomorrow afternoon and night and significant flooding is on the table. Some areas can receive a few inches of rain during this upcoming event and this will be on top of already well-saturated grounds from recent heavy rain storms. In addition to the heavy rain, this storm will feature strong and potentially damaging winds that raises the possibility of numerous power outages in the Mid-Atlantic region from later tomorrow into Wednesday. On the front side of the storm, east-to-southeast winds can gust past 50 mph and on the back side (Wednesday), they can gust past 40 mph from a west-to-southwest direction potentially resulting in some downed trees or broken limbs. Another significant storm system can produce similar conditions around here late from late Friday into Saturday.
