After rain moved through the Delaware Valley, with even some snow across the Lehigh Valley and Poconos, the precipitation will move out for most of the second half of the day. Skies, however, will remain generally cloudy with some periods of drizzle or mist. Otherwise, it'll be slightly milder today, with high temperatures in the low 50s.

Another relatively fast-moving system will bring back the chance for rain again this evening after sundown and keep the chance for showers around the region for most of the overnight hours. This time, the precipitation will remain all rain, with mild air remaining as temperatures only drop into the mid-upper 40s tonight.

There could be a few trailing isolated showers early in the commute Tuesday morning, but the rain will clear out quickly and give way to partly sunny conditions through Tuesday afternoon. High pressure may briefly nose in late Tuesday into early Wednesday, bringing high temperatures to near or at 60 degrees Tuesday afternoon.

Our third system of the week will arrive Wednesday. The models are a bit split on the arrival time — it may be as early as Wednesday afternoon, but it is more likely that it will hold off until Wednesday evening, producing rain overnight into very early Thursday morning.

While this again looks like rain for the city and suburbs, it may end as snow for the Poconos and be followed by another round of cold air. Next weekend looks to be the coldest air so far of the season, with many areas struggling to get out of the 20s for highs!
