Heavy Rain for Philly/Snow in Western PA, Philly Tech Week, Philadelphia Science Festival

Heavy rain is expected to continue across the entire Philadelphia region throughout Sunday and overnight with a total of 2 to 3 inches of rain. A Flood Watch is in effect for the area as well, mainstem river flooding is not expected, but you should prepare for minor flooding of prone areas. All of this precipitation is much needed since we have been well below average for the entire year. This same system, which is typical April showers here, is going to bring havoc in the western half of Pennsylvania overnight. Much like the Halloween 2011 storm we had just 6 months ago, this storm is going to dump up to 8-12 inches of heavy wet snow on trees with new leaves. Widespread power outages are expected due to downed trees and lines. Tomorrow the storm will clear out, but it will be cooler. High of 53 in Philadelphia.
