Temperatures on Tuesday, May 14, in Bucks County will rebound from a chilly Mother's Day weekend and should reach the mid 70s, said Amanda Lee, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

But that relative burst of warmth will also bring the threat of rain. Otherwise, it will be a cloudy Tuesday in Bucks County.

"Overall for the next couple of days at least, we will be mainly looking at southwest and southerly winds, meaning we will be drawing air from the southern region of the United States," Lee said. "With that in mind, that is why we are going to see increasing moisture going into Tuesday, and especially Tuesday night."
