The heaviest rain in the Philadelphia region falls overnight, and the roads will likely be wet for the Wednesday morning commute. The temperatures will have lows in the upper 30s to near 40.
Wednesday morning could possibly bring rain and a winter mix in spots in the region, with highs only in the mid-40s.
How to plan
Have a jacket and keep an umbrella ready for the morning drive as we’ll likely have rain all over the area through 8 a.m. before ending from west to east.
If you can take the kids to school or wait with them in the car, it would help; otherwise, bring coats, boots, and umbrellas so they’re not wet heading to the classroom.
If you’re in the higher elevations of the Poconos, expect an inch or two of wet snow by sunrise on Wednesday.Â

What’s NEXT
Rain ends by mid-late morning, clouds stick around as does the chilly weather. It will be a raw day for this time of year, but breaks in the clouds will likely occur by the evening hours.Â
Dry weather is expected on Thursday with slightly warmer temps, but still cool.
Another system will bring the chance for showers Friday night into Saturday morning, but most of it is trending south at this point. We’ll likely see rain showers in parts of our area, but unlike Wednesday morning, it probably won’t be all over.
The rest of the weekend brightens up some and looks pleasant on Sunday for the Philly marathon.
