NEXT Weather: Some sun early but showers return Wednesday afternoon

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Don't be fooled this morning by early breaks of sunshine, the rain is on the way.

After two days of sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s and 80s, clouds will be in place by 11 a.m.

Thanks to a warm front, temperatures stay relatively mild Wednesday with highs in the mid-to-upper 60s.

By noon though, light, scattered showers arrive in the Delaware Valley and steadier bands of rain will continue throughout the afternoon and evening commute.

Rain chances continue on Thursday and even Friday and a cold front moving in is setting the rest of the week up to be much cooler. Highs Thursday won't make it out of the 50s for another gray, cloudy day.

Showers could impact Philadelphia Phillies game

First pitch Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park is set for 6:05 p.m. against the Colorado Rockies. If you're heading to the game, pack your poncho -- there's about a 40% chance for showers during the game and temps will start to fall into the 50s by 8 p.m.

Rain could help allergy sufferers

Weed pollen is down slightly Wednesday to "high" levels, but tree and grass pollen remain "extreme."

And while the rain will put a literal damper on the day, it could help reduce those pollen counts, wash away allergens and give sufferers some relief.
