Philadelphia, PA – Rain is expected to move into the region starting around 7PM Sunday and lasting through 6AM Monday, bringing periods of steady rainfall and possible rumbles of thunder across the city and surrounding counties.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, a stronger storm cannot be ruled out west of Philadelphia, but the overall severe weather threat is diminishing. Forecasters say instability has not developed as earlier expected, lowering the risk of damaging storms.
Rainfall totals are expected to range from 0.5 to 1.5 inches, with the highest amounts north and west of the I-95 corridor, including areas like the Poconos and parts of northern Pennsylvania. Philadelphia and nearby metro areas will likely see closer to 0.25 to 0.75 inches overnight.
While widespread severe weather is unlikely, isolated thunder remains possible as the system moves through late tonight. Drivers along I-95 and connecting roadways should be prepared for wet roads, reduced visibility, and minor slowdowns during the overnight and early Monday commute.
The system is expected to clear by early Monday morning, with improving conditions after sunrise.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updates and allow extra travel time if heading out late tonight or early Monday.
