US · Published May 23, 2026
Philadelphia is set to experience a wet start to the Memorial Day weekend, with heavy rain expected throughout Saturday, making it a near washout.
According to NEXT Weather Meteorologist Tammie Souza, the rain will persist into the first half of Sunday but is likely to taper off by the afternoon.
Monday will see more scattered precipitation, with a chance of stray showers or storms.

Why It's Important?

The persistent rain on Saturday and Sunday morning may disrupt outdoor Memorial Day weekend plans, including parades, barbecues, and other events. Wet road conditions could lead to reduced visibility and slippery surfaces, increasing the risk of accidents. Those planning outdoor activities on Monday should remain cautious of potential stray showers or storms.
