Pennsylvania Forecast Improves For Saturday

What was expected to be a washout Saturday may not be so bad after all.

A nor'easter-like storm was initially anticipated to dump rain across the Philadelphia region for much of Saturday, but the heavy precipitation moved further south than originally expected.

Eastern PA Weather Authority reported the heavy rain from the rare summer storm went mostly south of Philadelphia, with parts of Delaware, South Jersey and Maryland bearing the brunt of it.

Flooding was reported in parts of the Jersey Shore.

The current forecast calls for cloudy conditions and some lingering showers Saturday in the Philadelphia region. Skies will clear for the second half of the weekend and early next week. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday should be sunny with highs in the 80s, the Weather Channel says.

Here is the hourly forecast, according to the Weather Channel:

8 a.m. to 8 p.m.: Cloudy, 15 to 20 percent chance of rain

8 p.m. to midnight: Partly cloudy, 0 percent chance of rain
