Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – Gusty winds and scattered showers will sweep into southeastern Pennsylvania Tuesday morning, impacting the I-95 corridor just in time for rush hour.

According to the National Weather Service, rain chances climb to 30% early Tuesday, with wind gusts as high as 30 mph through the afternoon.
