Hours after issuing a high wind warning for the Philadelphia area, the National Weather service posted a severe thunderstorm warning for most of the region.

The warning is in effect until 1:30 p.m.

The high wind warning remains in effect until ending at 8 p.m. for winds in the 20- to 30-mph range with gusts to 60 mph.

The region earlier had been enveloped in fog, and resulted in some flights being canceled or delayed at Philadelphia International Airport.

Everything will shift tonight after the rain leaves the area, with clearing skies and a low of 32 expected.

The forecast for tomorrow — the day of the Villanova NCAA Championship parade in Center City and the Phillies home opener — calls for sunny skies with a high near 49.

There's a slight chance of rain early Friday with increasing clouds and a high near 60. And, yes, snow is possible Saturday.
