PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — You may want to keep an umbrella or waterproof jacket with you today as we’re expecting some mist and drizzle to fall during the day Wednesday – and then evening rain showers.
For the most part, it’s just a cloudy hump day with temperatures a lot warmer than we’ve been used to. The high temperature Wednesday is 44 degrees.
Don’t try to go out on any frozen lakes today as ice is melting fast with temperatures above freezing – for most of the region. With lower temperatures in the Lehigh Valley, there are still some minor icing concerns Wednesday.
Across the region by the end of tomorrow if not today, we’re going to see any lingering snow on the ground completely gone as temperatures stay in the rain zone this week.
We’re still waiting for a slow-moving system to arrive with our nighttime rain. Right now it’s looking like it will set up over the Lehigh Valley and Poconos by 7 p.m. or 8 p.m.
Most of this should stay north and west of Philadelphia, but there could be a few showers heading into South Jersey or Delaware with this system during your evening commute Wednesday night.
