Discussion
A couple of shortwaves will rotate through the region later today and tonight raising the chance of PM showers and thunderstorms…some of the storms can be strong and produce heavy rainfall amounts. There should be plenty of cloud cover around as well today which should limit high temperatures this afternoon to the low-to-mid 80’s in the Philly metro region. It remains somewhat unsettled on Wednesday with another shower and thunderstorm possible and then upper-level high pressure ridging to our southwest takes control for the latter part of the week. As such, it’ll turn hotter for Thursday and Friday with afternoon high temperatures likely well up in the 90’s and there can be scattered showers and thunderstorms.
