Drenching rain that soaked the Philadelphia-area overnight will taper off on Wednesday morning to set the stage for a picture-perfect Fourth of July weekend.

Philadelphia picked up nearly an inch of rain Tuesday, and we'll continue to add a bit more to the bucket during the first half of the day on Wednesday, keeping the shower chance in the region through midday. A good opportunity to turn the sprinklers off and give your water bill a bit of a rest.
