After dry Monday, Philadelphia region will have an unsettled week with rain chances each day
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A few showers and rumbles of thunder rolled through on Sunday, but the strong and severe storms mostly stayed away. Clearing skies and some patchy fog lead us into the start of the new work week.
Today will be the driest day with sun and highs in the 90s. The remainder of this week will be unsettled with a chance of showers and storms each day and much cooler temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s.
Our NEXT Weather team has issued a NEXT Weather Alert for Tuesday as a cold front will move through our area in the afternoon, bringing periods of heavy rain and the threat of flash flooding into Wednesday morning.
Then, we'll have to watch what that front does as it interacts with moisture from Tropical Storm Debby, which may trigger some heavy rain and could lead to a flooding threat in our area by the end of the week into Saturday.
With that being said, Friday and Saturday were also declared NEXT Weather Alert days with the potential for several rounds of heavy rain that could result in more widespread flooding across the region.
Once we get to the end of the week, models are still split on Debby's exact path, so we'll continue to monitor that closely.
Speaking of Debby, all eyes are on the Gulf of Mexico, where it formed late Saturday afternoon. Hurricane warnings are in effect for Florida's west coast and panhandle, and winds of 39-75 mph are expected.
By Monday, the storm is expected to exit over the Atlantic Ocean, where it will slowly move up the East Coast and create flooding concerns.
