Philadelphia, PA – Midweek storms could disrupt outdoor plans in Philadelphia as a round of showers and thunderstorms is expected to build Wednesday afternoon. Temperatures will peak near 90°F before storms bring the chance for heavy rainfall and gusty winds.
According to the National Weather Service, a slight chance of showers will develop Wednesday morning before storms become more likely after 2 p.m. The highest risk window will run into the evening commute, with a 50% chance of precipitation. Some storms could produce localized downpours, leading to brief street flooding in low-lying or poorly drained areas, especially in Center City and along I-95.
Travelers should monitor road conditions and allow extra time for evening travel. Outdoor events, sports practices, and park activities may face weather delays or cancellations. Lightning remains a concern, so residents are advised to seek shelter indoors at the first sound of thunder.
