Summary
A First Alert covers Philadelphia from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. Monday, with severe storms threatening damaging winds, flash flooding and a possible isolated tornado.
An approaching cold front is pulling in gusty winds and very high moisture, a setup forecasters say will fuel torrential downpours and make the evening the highest-risk period.
Lincoln Financial Field could see disruptions during Monday afternoon's FIFA World Cup match between Iraq and France as storms become more widespread later in the day.
Showers should fade overnight, with only scattered non-severe rain expected Tuesday before drier, lower-humidity weather returns for Wednesday and Thursday.
