Here&#8217;s the forecast."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Philadelphia&#8217;s 18-day stretch of dry weather will come to an end Thursday. The NEXT Weather team is not expecting a complete washout, but scattered showers could interrupt the morning and evening commutes along the I-95 corridor.<\/p>\n<p>More widespread rain chances are expected north and west of Philadelphia, including the Lehigh Valley and Poconos.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the clouds, temperatures will climb into the lower 70s, so a heavy jacket won&#8217;t be necessary. If you&#8217;re heading out for lunch, you may even find some dry time between showers. Just don&#8217;t leave home without that umbrella.<\/p>\n<p>NEXT big weather changes<\/p>\n<p>Friday brings the biggest weather story of the week as a more organized area of rain moves across the Delaware Valley.<\/p>\n<p>Periods of moderate to heavy rain are possible, along with a few thunderstorms late Thursday and the first part of Friday, especially east of I-95. Some locations could pick up 1\u20132 inches of rain, potentially creating ponding on the roads, slowing travel along I-95 and other major roads. The rain is welcome after our unusually long dry stretch, but the timing could make for a messy Friday commute.<\/p>\n<p>The good news? The system moves out later in the day Friday, allowing sunshine to return just in time for the weekend. However, we&#8217;ll trade our unusually warm November temperatures for something much more seasonable. Highs fall into the lower to mid-60s Saturday, with upper 50s to lower 60s Sunday. The Poconos and Lehigh Valley will feel even cooler, especially overnight.<\/p>\n<p>Dry weather should continue into early next week, with temperatures gradually recovering.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s your 7-day forecast:<\/p>\n<p>      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/1793872570_209_z-7-day-pm.png#.webp\" alt=\"z-7-day-pm.png \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\"  loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                CBS News Philadelphia<\/p>\n<p>Thursday:\u00a0Rain arrives.
