PHILADELPHIA<\/strong> – Big changes are on the way for the Delaware Valley as the extreme heat gives way to potential severe weather and much cooler temps by the end of the week.<\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n Wednesday fell one degree short of the record high, while everywhere else across the region was sweltering in the heat.<\/p>\n Overnight won’t cool off much and Thursday will see highs reach the upper 80s.<\/p>\n Stopping the heat will be a front that will bring potential severe weather and certainly heavy rainfall in the mid to late afternoon hours.<\/p>\n The National Weather Service has issued a region-wind flood watch<\/a> from Thursday afternoon until early Friday morning. There is the possibility of wind damage with this system, but the rainfall amounts are likely to be high, hence the watch.<\/p>\n Forecasters say there is a potential of rainfall rates exceeding two inches per hour for portions of the area.<\/p>\n Areas prone to flooding should be avoided in the evening rush hour wherever possible.<\/p>\n What’s next:<\/p>\n Friday will see lingering showers \u00a0in the morning and cloudy conditions with afternoon highs just barely reaching the mid-70s. What a turn of events!<\/p>\n The weekend will be beautiful, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the 80s. The first full week of August looks just as pleasant.<\/p>\n What you can do:<\/p>\n Stay up-to-date on the incoming storms and the holiday weekend forecast by downloading the free FOX LOCAL app<\/a>.<\/p>\n Weather<\/a>Philadelphia<\/a>News<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA – Big changes are on the way for the Delaware Valley as the extreme heat gives way…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":106549,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,50,1448,2830,1311,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,313],"class_list":{"0":"post-106548","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-pa","11":"tag-pennsylvania","12":"tag-philadelphia","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa","19":"tag-weather"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114945782142046667","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106548"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106548\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
