Summary
A First Alert covers the entire Philadelphia region from 8 a.m. to midnight Tuesday, with multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms expected.
Rising humidity overnight is creating a more favorable setup for strong-to-severe storms that could bring flash flooding, damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes.
Monday already brought slow-moving, hit-or-miss storms with downpours and possible strong gusts as temperatures climbed into the mid-80s.
Low-80s temperatures are expected Tuesday through Thursday, with additional but weaker storm chances on Wednesday and Thursday before a warmer, drier break arrives Friday into the weekend.
