Rain could be on the way and it may be exactly what the Philadelphia region dealing with fire dangers and allergy season needs.
"The most import thing is that we need the rain, the storms are a good thing unless we get severe weather," said NBC10 First Alert Weather chief meteorologist Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz.
The much-needed rain could fall on parts of the region Tuesday afternoon starting around 2 p.m. as temps push into the mid 80s, said Hurricane.
"It's been dry for nearly two weeks, so we need some showers and thunderstorms -- with the cold front coming through -- to help us with the dry spell, reduce the fire danger and also knock out some of the pollen."
Large amounts of rain aren’t expected with a ¼-inch of rain most likely.
“This is a very critical day” to keep the region out of possible drought conversations, said Hurricane.
“It will be the lucky ones that get rained on tomorrow."
