First spring storms of the season

Tuesday will have a steady south westerly wind, bringing up the temperatures to the mid 50s by the afternoon. We have a nice day in store, with sunny and mild conditions. This warm up helps fuel thunderstorm chances Wednesday afternoon.

A line of rain and storms set up in our western counties mid afternoon and moves east, arriving at the coast by the early evening. As they pass, storms have the potential to produce heavy downpours, gusty winds, and even a small risk for tornadoes. The Delaware Valley could see half to a whole inch of rain. Gusty winds could reach 45 to 50 mph, possibly downing trees and powerlines. This is the first classic spring storm set up of the season.
