PHILADELPHIA – Knock the dust off those umbrellas, because the Philadelphia area is finally about to break its rain-free streak record.

A frosty start to Sunday will turn into a cloudy afternoon before the much-anticipated rain begins.

FOX 29’s Drew Anderson says showers will arrive around dinner time, becoming steady from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. and breaking up shortly after.

Only about a quarter of an inch is expected to fall before dry weather quickly returns in time for the Monday morning commute.

Sunday’s rains will be the first measurable precipitation for Philadelphia in 43 days, the longest drought in the region in 150 years.

The long-awaited rain is also coming several forest fires broke out across the state of New Jersey, reaching over 800 acres.
