5:18 pm
was a lot of rain coming our way. this is the first of two systems that will be affecting us. this system obviously has some strength to it. you see the yellows, oranges and reds. all that is heading in our direction. we're looking at periods of heavy rain, possibly spot thunderstorms moving in as we hit tuesday. the second system moving in on wednesday. here is tomorrow's planner. notice the icons. a lot different than it's been the last few days, rainy throughout. mid-50s to start your morning. that's warmer than the average high temperature for this point of year. look how warm we get, low 60s in philadelphia, near 60 in the suburbs with rain as well. we're talking throughout the day. this is a washout forecast for us. in the lehigh valley, 48 degrees at 7:00 a.m. again, very mild conditions for this time of year. the mid-50s at noon. we could see some of those pocket heavier showers moving throughout as well. in delaware, 7:00 a.m., 54

5:31 pm
problem is, we had all those leaves fall over the last couple of weeks, which means the piles may be clogging storm drains in your neighborhood. a suggestion would be, sweep up those leaves tonight, throw them away, put them in bags. don't just put them in the roadway, because that can lead to the flooding concerns. plus wet leaves can lead to slippery conditions for walking or driving. and with the morning commute a big concern here, that could be a problem. take a look at our below average totals so far this year. philadelphia, more than circumstances inches below the annual precip we should be at this time of year. trenton, over a foot below. so a lot of us could really use this moisture and we'll be getting it. temperatures will be way warmer than everyone. we've been in the low 50s, tomorrow we're up to 62. by wednesday, to 70 degrees. that warm air, though, may assist with the potential of seeing thunderstorms. we'll track that on your future
