More Rounds Of Rain As Damp, Dreary Pattern Continues In South Central Pennsylvania
Highs will stay in the 40s over the next 3 days; expect rain at times.
REMAINING OPTIMISTIC THE CASE WILL BE SOLVED. NOW, THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST, WITH METEOROLOGIST MIKE SUSKO. GOOD WEDNESDAY EVENING. THIS GLOOMY STRETCH OF WEATHER CONTINUES FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. LOTS OF CLOUDS, AREAS OF FOG, DRIZZLE AND MIST, AND EVEN SOME PERIODS OF RAIN AS WE’RE GOING THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT AND REALLY THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. SO THAT DAILY DOSE OF RAIN IS GOING TO CONTINUE. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS, NONE OF THE DAYS ARE GOING TO BE A COMPLETE WASHOUT. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET OUT WITHOUT HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE RAIN. JUST REALLY DEPENDS ON YOUR TIME OF DAY. THEN WE WARM UP. WE GET HIGHS IN THE 60S, EVEN 70 AS THAT WILL BE POSSIBLE AS WE GO TOWARDS NEXT WEEK. BUT HERE’S A LOOK AT STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK. RIGHT NOW WE DO HAVE SOME SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS IN PARTS OF THE AREA HERE, BUT THE MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN WILL ACTUALLY COME IN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. WE HAVE A STATIONARY FRONT THAT IS JUST KIND OF DRAPED RIGHT TO OUR SOUTH. THAT’S KEEPING THE MOISTURE, THE CLOUDS, EVERYTHING JUST RIGHT WHERE IT’S AT AT THE MOMENT. AND BECAUSE IT’S TO OUR SOUTH, WE’RE GETTING THE COOLER SIDE OF THINGS. SO THAT’S WHY WE’RE SEEING TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S INSTEAD OF MAYBE A LITTLE BIT WARMER, LIKE OUR FRIENDS TO THE SOUTH HERE. IT’S JUST WHERE THE PLACEMENT OF THE FRONT IS AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHT. TONIGHT, WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WATCH FOR SOME SHOWERS TO MOVE THROUGH. AROUND 1:00 IN THE MORNING IS WHEN WE EXPECT THAT MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN TO BEGIN TO DEVELOP. NOTICE THAT YELLOW AND ORANGE IS POPPING UP. THAT COULD INDICATE SOME MODERATE TO EVEN HEAVY RAIN AT TIMES. AND NOTICE THE TIME OF THIS SEVEN 8:00 IN THE MORNING COULD IMPACT YOUR MORNING COMMUTE. SO JUST SOMETHING TO BE AWARE OF FOR TOMORROW. THEN WE GET A BREAK TOMORROW. LATE AFTERNOON OR LATE MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN WILL COME IN FOR THE THURSDAY EVENING COMMUTE. THAT ONE AGAIN LOOKING LIKE SOME LIGHT RAIN ACROSS THE AREA HERE. AND THEN THE FRONT’S TRY TO START TO MOVE A LITTLE BIT FARTHER TO THE NORTH. BUT WE DO GET THOSE MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF ON AND OFF RAIN FOR TOMORROW AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY. SIMILAR SITUATION RIGHT? IT’S ALMOST LIKE GROUNDHOG DAY AT THIS POINT. WE’RE SEEING FRONTS NEARBY AND THAT KEEPS THE CLOUDS IN THE FORECAST, ALONG WITH THE SCATTERED SHOWER CHANCES. BUT AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, WE SEE THINGS BEGINNING TO CHANGE AS WE LOOK OUTSIDE. RIGHT NOW, THOUGH, NO CHANGE AT ALL. IT’S CLOUDY. IT’S MISTY, IT’S DREARY AND IT’S FOGGY IN SOME PLACES. DOWN TO A MILE IN CARLISLE AT THE MOMENT. TWO AND A HALF MILES IN LANCASTER, A MILE AND A HALF IN YORK AND A MILE AND A QUARTER THERE IN HARRISBURG. I DO EXPECT THERE TO BE MORE FOG TO DEVELOP AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT. SO DAMP AND DREARY FOR THE REST OF YOUR WEDNESDAY EVENING AND OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, THOSE RAIN SHOWERS WILL MOVE BACK IN AND IT’S GOING TO BE A SOGGY START TO YOUR THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES, THOUGH MILD TO WHERE THEY SHOULD BE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. FOR THE OVERNIGHT LOWS AROUND 40 DEGREES, BUT OUR TEMPERATURES IN THE AFTERNOON, NOT REALLY CHANGING MUCH, WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S TOMORROW WITH PERIODS OF RAIN ON AND OFF THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE PRECIPITATION FORECAST FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, YOU CAN SEE TOMORROW IS ACTUALLY OUR BEST CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD RAIN. THAT’S GOING TO BE THE MOST IMPACTFUL THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON FRIDAY. THERE’S STILL SHOWERS AROUND, BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO BE ALL DAY. IT’S MORE HIT OR MISS COMPARED TO WHAT WE’LL HAVE TOMORROW, SATURDAY. MOST OF THE DAY IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE DRY. IT’S GOING TO BE SATURDAY NIGHT, THOUGH, WHERE WE SEE ANOTHER SYSTEM COME BY. COULD BRING SOME SHOWERS AS WE GO INTO SATURDAY NIGHT AND THEN INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. SO SATURDAY, THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY AND THE SECOND HALF OF SUNDAY, THAT IS WHEN WE EXPECT THE BEST CHANCE FOR THE SUNSHINE AND SOME DRIER CONDITIONS. BUT NOW THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY. SO THIS IS ALL THE WAY THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. COULD PICK UP AN ADDITIONAL INCH, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THAT OF RAIN ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. WE DO NEED IT, SO WE’LL TAKE IT. THE GOOD NEWS IS, BECAUSE IT’S HAPPENING OVER MULTIPLE DAYS, FLOODING REALLY NOT GOING TO BE A CONCERN HERE. BUT AS WE LOOK AT THE TEN DAY FORECAST, DAMP AND DREARY CONDITIONS WITH THAT RAIN TOMORROW AND THURSDAY, HIGHS ONLY GETTING INTO THE 40S THERE. WE DO GET INTO THE 60S AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, AND EVENTUALLY EVEN THE 70S AS WE GO INTO NEXT WEEK. AND FOR MORE ON WHY WE’RE SEEING THIS PATTERN FLIP AND HOW WE GET INTO THE 70S, LET’S GO OVER TO METEOROLOGIST RYAN ARGENT. RYAN. THANKS, MIKE. YES. SO WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING WE GOT TO GET PAST SOME OF THESE DREARY CONDITIONS FOLKS. WE GOT TEMPERATURES GETTING TO THE 40S THESE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. AND ALSO THIS LITTLE BIT OF AN UNSETTLED PATTERN THAT MIKE WAS JUST CHATTING ABOUT. BUT THERE IS SUNSHINE ON THE WAY. YOU CAN SEE THAT’S IN THE YOU CAN SEE TEMPERATURES GETTING TO THE 60S. LOOK AT THE SPIKE BY THE WAY, 46 JUMPING TO 60, THEN TO 62. AND THEN HERE WE GO. LOOK AT THIS FOLKS. 70 TO 72 DEGREES AS WE GET INTO NEXT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY I DON’T KNOW I’M I DON’T KNOW ABOUT EVERYBODY AT HOME, BUT I’M ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE 70S. BUT THE LAST TIME THAT HIGHS HIT 70 DEGREES OR GREATER IN HARRISBURG WAS OCTOBER 21ST, 2025 OF LAST YEAR, WHERE THE HIGH HIT RIGHT AROUND 70 DEGREES. SO BUT WHY ARE WE SEEING THIS, THIS PRETTY THIS SPIKE OF A WARM UP. RIGHT. SO WE’RE SEEING SO WHAT WE’RE SEEING IS A BIT OF A OF A TROPHY AND RIDGE PATTERN. WE HAVE, WE HAVE THIS COLDER AIR THAT KIND OF DIPS DOWN. AND THEN WE HAVE WARMER AIR TO THE SOUTH THAT KIND OF RIDGES UPWARD. YOU’LL SEE THAT HERE IN JUST A SECOND WHEN I ADVANCE. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, THE RIDGING STARTS TO WHAT WE CALL AMPLIFY. YOU SEE HERE COMES THE RIDGE OF THAT MOUNTAIN OR THE MOUNTAIN TOPS STARTING TO COME OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE OF THE COUNTRY. AND HERE’S THAT TROUGHING PATTERN. BUT WE’RE GOING TO BE WITHIN THIS WARMER PATTERN THAT’S GOING TO ALLOW FOR THAT WARMER AIR TO COME IN FROM THE SOUTH AND THEN ALLOW THOSE ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT 8 TO 14 DAYS. AS YOU CAN SEE, FOR MARCH 12TH THROUGH THE 18TH, DEFINITELY GOING TO BE VERY WARM AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK. SO I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS. I’M DEFINITELY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S BEEN FOUR MONTHS SINCE WE FELT 70 DEGREE. FEELS LIKE IT’S BEEN FOREVER. YEAH, I FEEL LIKE IT’S BEEN FOREVER. WE JUST BEEN COLD THIS WAY. SO THAT’S A PATTERN WE WANT TO CONTINUE. YEAH, HOPEFULLY WE’RE LOOKING FOR THIS PATTERN TO CONTINUE. BUT YEAH. BUT YEAH I SAY I SAY THERE’S IT DOESN’T LAST FOREVER. IT’S JUST ON THE TEN DAY FORECAST. IT GOES FROM 70 DOWN TO LIKE THE 40S AND 50S AGAIN. SO ENJOY IT. THAT’S RIGHT. HE SAID DON’T GET TOO EXCITED. ENJOY IT. SO YOU TAKE OFF FROM WORK. IT’S OKAY. YOU HAVE PERMISSION. WE UNDERSTAND. DOESN’
