Mostly sunny and warmer, isolated shower chance this evening in south-central Pennsylvania
We end the evening on a drier note, then upper 70s are on tap Thursday. The weekend ahead starts off wet, but looking like a drier end.
I’M BRIAN ROCHE ON YOUR SIDE. WGAL NEWS 8. NOW THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST WITH METEOROLOGIST MIKE SUSKO. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. WE HAD A NICE WARM DAY TODAY AND THAT WILL CONTINUE AS WE GO INTO YOUR THURSDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S. AND THEN AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE WEEKEND, RAIN RETURNS TO THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY, ESPECIALLY ON SATURDAY. NOT A WASHOUT COMPLETELY. THERE WILL BE SOME BREAKS HERE AND THERE, BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE SATURDAY IS GOING TO BE A BIT OF A RAINY DAY. 60S WILL RETURN NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER CHANCE FOR RAIN, ESPECIALLY AS WE HEAD INTO TUESDAY OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK. SO WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING A FEW ROUNDS OF RAIN OVER THE NEXT 7 TO 10 DAYS, AND WE NEED IT, INCLUDING IN LANCASTER. RIGHT NOW WE’VE GOT A COUPLE CLOUDS HERE AND THERE, BUT OTHERWISE IT IS A QUIET EVENING OUTSIDE. 70 DEGREES IN HARRISBURG, 66 IN LANCASTER, ELIZABETHTOWN AT 68 DEGREES, 72 IN DOVER. IT’S 71 IN DUNCANNON, AS WELL AS LANDISBURG AND 74 RIGHT NOW IN CASHTOWN, 75 FOR GETTYSBURG AND ACROSS THE REGION, 71 THERE AND ALTOONA, 76 OUT IN PITTSBURGH. SO WE HAVE THE WARM AIR IN CENTRAL AND WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA TO THE SOUTH AS WELL. A BIT COOLER, THOUGH, AS YOU HEAD TOWARDS NEW YORK CITY AND HARTFORD. THAT’S BECAUSE THERE’S A WARM FRONT THAT’S RIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF PENNSYLVANIA, ESPECIALLY EASTERN PA, AND THAT’S WHERE WE’RE SEEING THAT CUTOFF BETWEEN THE WARM AND COLD. LUCKILY FOR US, WE’RE ON THE MILDER SIDE, AND THAT’S WHY TEMPERATURES THIS EVENING WILL STAY IN THE 60S AS THE CLOUDS WILL BE VERY FAR AND FEW BETWEEN. AN ISOLATED SHOWER NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS ONE EARLIER IN ADAMS COUNTY THAT HAS SINCE DISSIPATED. TONIGHT, MOSTLY CLEAR, MILD FOR OVERNIGHT STANDARDS, RIGHT AROUND 50 DEGREES FOR THAT LOW TOMORROW. MOSTLY SUNNY DAY. TERRIFIC DAY IN FACT FOR THURSDAY WITH THOSE HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S HERE. AND SOME LIGHT WINDS OUT OF THE NORTHWEST. HERE’S A LOOK AT LIVE RADAR NETWORK. THERE’S THE SHOWER THAT WAS IN ADAMS COUNTY THAT HAS CROSSED THE BORDER. AND NOW IN MARYLAND WE’VE GOT SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OFF TO THE WEST THERE IN OHIO. BUT THEY’RE GOING TO STAY WELL TO THE WEST FOR US. WE WILL NOT GET ANYTHING NEAR THAT AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT AND WITH THIS TOMORROW, YOUR WEATHER IN HEALTH POLLEN LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO BE VERY HIGH ACROSS THE AREA. UNFORTUNATELY, IN ORDER TO LOWER THAT, YOU’RE GOING TO NEED SOME WIDESPREAD RAIN. SO THAT WILL BE THE CASE UNTIL PROBABLY SATURDAY. AIR QUALITY WILL BE MODERATE AND UV INDEX WILL BE MODERATE AS WELL FOR YOUR THURSDAY. SO LET’S TIME THIS ALL OUT FOR YOU. WINDS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT ARE LIGHT BUT OUT OF THE NORTH A LITTLE BIT. WE’VE GOT A CLEAR SKY TO START OFF YOUR THURSDAY AND THEN PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW AFTERNOON. FRIDAY WE WILL START TO SEE THAT WARM FRONT THERE AND READ ACROSS THE AREA IN THE MORNING HOURS. A LITTLE BIT MORE CLOUD COVER FOR YOUR FRIDAY AND THE MORNING. WE ARE DRY IN THE AFTERNOON RIGHT AROUND TWO, THREE, 4:00. WE’LL START TO SEE A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS. TRY TO POP UP HERE ON FRIDAY. THEY’RE NOT SEVERE, BUT THEY’RE GOING TO BE MORE OF A NUISANCE ACROSS THE AREA. AS WE GO INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING BEHIND THAT SYSTEM, WE HAVE A COLD FRONT THAT BRINGS US RAIN ON SATURDAY. NOW, SATURDAY MORNING IS GOING TO BE THE BEST CHANCE TO GET OUT AND AVOID THE RAIN IN THE AFTERNOON. THAT’S WHERE WE GET MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN AND MORE FREQUENT DOWNPOURS ACROSS PARTS OF THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY HERE, AS WE GO TO YOUR SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING, AND THEN IT WILL CLEAR OUT BY THE TIME WE HEAD INTO SUNDAY EARLY MORNING. SO SUNDAY IS ACTUALLY DRY FOR THE ENTIRE DAY ACROSS THE AREA. SATURDAY IT’S GOING TO BE ON AND OFF WITH SOME LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN. WE’RE LOOKING AT AROUND A QUARTER OF AN INCH TO A HALF AN INCH OF RAIN EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA. BUT ONE THING YOU WILL NOTICE THIS WEEKEND IT’S COOLER. WE GO FROM 70 DEGREES ON FRIDAY TO 56 BY SATURDAY. 62 ON SUNDAY, AND WILL STAY IN THE 60S FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK. MONDAY IS LOOKING DRY AND THEN ANOTHER CHANCE OF RAIN FOR YOUR TUESDAY. EVEN A LITTLE BIT ON WEDNESDAY. ALTHOUGH TUESDAY IS GOING TO BE A LITT
