After what has been the driest start to September in almost 20 years, a little rain has returned to the area. While the coverage of rainfall isn’t as great as it originally looked like it would be, some of us will still pick up a little rainfall over the next couple of days.
An area of low pressure off the coast will send several rounds of scattered showers to the area through the day Wednesday that will likely amount to hit-and-miss showers through the morning commute and possibly again for the afternoon and evening commute. Otherwise, conditions Wednesday will be generally cloudy and seasonably mild with high temperatures in the middle 70s.
While everyone across the Philadelphia area will have a chance for some rainfall, not everyone will actually see it. In fact, the greater chance of rainfall will be closer to the coast — closer to the area of low pressure that will start to track east Wednesday afternoon into Thursday. Rainfall totals through Thursday night into Friday morning will likely range from about 0.10-0.25 inch in Lehigh and Delaware Valley, with up to 0.5 inch closer to the coast.
