Rain and thunderstorms are expected to begin in the afternoon, with heavier rainfall likely after 8 p.m. Sunday evening.

Storms and Rain Expected Sunday Afternoon and Evening
The National Weather Service has issued warnings about potential heavy rainfall, which could reach up to 1 inch or more in some areas. This could create slippery roads and increase the risk of flooding, especially during the evening hours. For anyone planning to be outdoors or traveling on Sunday, expect delays due to wet roads and reduced visibility.
Winds may also gust up to 30 mph, which will make driving conditions even more challenging. If you have evening plans in Philadelphia, be prepared for the possibility of rain, storms, and limited visibility.
