The threat of severe weather looms large Friday night, as a system expected to bring drenching rain could also bring some tornadic activity.

Strong to severe storms capable of producing heavy rain and damaging winds head to the Philly region Friday evening.

Rain, which forced the Phillies to postpone their game Wednesday night against the Atlanta Braves, has been observed on 18 days so far, with a good chance that number will increase to 20 by the weekend. (This has nothing to do with Tropical Storm Alvin, by the way; that’s in the Pacific.)

Get ready for a stretch of fairly wet weather in the Philadelphia area beginning Wednesday, with rain chances through the end of the week. Temps drop to the mid-60s Wednesday but rebound into the upper 70s by Thursday and Friday with the chance for scattered showers each day through Saturday.

The bulk of the rain is likely to fall Friday night, said John Feerick, senior meteorologist with AccuWeather Inc. However, before the flood watch takes effect, severe thunderstorms could pop up in the region Friday afternoon, said Patrick O’Hara, meteorologist at the Mount Holly office.

Philadelphia's weather includes sunny and gusty conditions today, then partly cloudy skies with potential showers later in the week.

The weather conditions will be relatively kind Tuesday after a gorgeous Memorial Day in the Philadelphia area.
