Several days of tropical showers in Philadelphia area from Helene remnants

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Outdoor plans, kids' sports, or a long walk in the park on Saturday? Prepare for nuisance showers and drizzle both today and Sunday courtesy of the remnants of Hurricane Helene . The deadly storm has now been downgraded to a post tropical cyclone centered over the Tennessee Valley.

A large front will split the Delaware Valley in half Saturday keeping some areas south and east of Philly warmer and drier. The rest of the region will remain overcast with scattered showers and drizzle.

Sunday will also have gray skies with scattered showers and patchy fog.

The damp showery pattern will continue through early Wednesday when Helene's remnants are finally pushed offshore by a trough and cold front. Sunshine will return as early as Wednesday afternoon through Friday.

Temperatures will rain from the upper 60s to mid-70s through the week ahead.

Tracking the tropics

Turning to the tropics, all eyes are on the development region over the Caribbean, Bay of Campeche and the southern Gulf of Mexico. Conditions are favorable for another tropical system to develop there later next week. This is the same region that Helene just emerged from.

It is too early to say where a system would track but the entire Gulf Coast will once again be on alert.
