Philadelphia weather: Severe weather moving out, ahead of mainly dry Wednesday

Severe weather that popped up Tuesday, prompting watches and warnings to be issued have weakened and are moving northward out of the region, weakening as they move on.

What we know:

Severe weather that prompted watches and warnings are weakening and no longer the threat they were earlier in the day.

We have to get through a few more days of showers and thunderstorms before a great looking Mother's Day weekend.

Wednesday should be a mainly dry day with temperatures in the 70s.

Big picture view:

In an earlier tornado warning issued for Northampton County, Joseph Martucci captured this shot of a funnel cloud in Bushkill Township moving toward Bangor, Pa. A tornado was later confirmed by the National Weather Service.

What's next:

The sun is expected to find its way into the forecast for the first time this week on Wednesday, before afternoon showers and thunderstorms pop up Thursday, while Friday should be a rainy and cooler, by about 10 degrees..

Mother's Day weekend looks to bring the best weather this week with sunny and dry days reaching 80 degrees.
