RIGHT NOW, OVER THE RED ROSE CITY. YOU SEE THOUGH WE WON’T WE DID SEE EARLIER IN THE NEWSCAST. DID SEE SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS OVER YORK. AND WE’LL EVENTUALLY SEE THAT AS WE HEAD INTO THE REST OF THIS EVENING FOR THE REST OF THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. BUT WE’RE SITTING RIGHT AROUND 57 DEGREES. WE HAVE A LIGHTER NORTH NORTHEASTERLY BREEZE RIGHT AROUND SIX MILES PER HOUR AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING. BUT LIKE I MENTIONED, WE’LL START TO SEE THOSE SKIES BEGIN TO CLEAR. IT WILL CLEAR OVERNIGHT. WE’LL SEE CLEAR CONDITIONS FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD AND THEN BRIGHT SUNSHINE AS WE HEAD INTO OUR MONDAY, THE SUNSHINE RETURNS. AND THEN ALONG WITH THOSE SHOWERS, AS WE HEAD INTO OUR TUESDAY, THAT’S WHEN WE’LL START TO SEE THOSE RAIN CHANCES RETURN ACROSS THE AREA. NOW, ALMANAC FOR THE DAY TODAY. DIDN’T GET ANY DATA FOR THIS AFTERNOON YET, BUT WE HAVE TEMPERATURES GETTING INTO THE 50S JUST EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON AND FOR THE FORECAST FOR THE REST OF THIS EVENING, WE’LL START TO SEE SOME DECREASING CLOUDS. COOL AND CALM TEMPERATURES DOWN INTO THE LOWER 50S. WE’LL HAVE A SOUTHEASTERLY FIVE MILE PER HOUR BREEZE. THEN FOR TONIGHT, DROPPING DOWN TO THE LOWER 40S. 40 TO 44 DEGREES WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR AND COOL. WE’LL HAVE A CALM WIND OR A LIGHT AND VARIABLE WIND, I SHOULD SAY, DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. AND THEN FOR TOMORROW, MOSTLY SUNNY WILL BE MILDER AND SEASONABLE, 66 TO 70 DEGREES. WE’LL HAVE AN EAST NORTH NORTH EAST NORTHEASTERLY BREEZE AROUND 5 TO 10MPH FOR YOU. AND THEN IN TERMS OF THE WEATHER AND HEALTH FOR THE DAY TOMORROW, TREES AND GRASSES, THE POLLEN LEVELS WILL BE REMAINING HIGH. LOW MOLD LEVELS THOUGH I’LL SAY AIR QUALITY, THOUGH, IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT MODERATE FOR THE PARTICULATE AND OZONE. AND THEN A MODERATE UV INDEX OF ABOUT A 30 MINUTE BURN TIME WITH THE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES FOR TOMORROW. NOW PAST 24 HOURS IN TERMS OF RAINFALL REPORTS, VERY BENEFICIAL. RAIN HAS FELL ACROSS THE AREA. AND THAT’S THAT’S GREAT NEWS BECAUSE THIS PAST THURSDAY WE HAD THE LATEST UPDATE FROM THE FROM THE DROUGHT MONITOR. WE CAN SEE THE ESPECIALLY SOME PARTS OF THE AREA ARE EXPERIENCING MODERATE TO. ALSO SEVERE DROUGHT CONDITIONS CLOSER TO LANCASTER COUNTY, ALSO TOWARDS THE SOUTHEASTERN MOST TIP OF YORK COUNTY. ALSO PORTIONS CLOSER TO SOUTH MOUNTAIN AND FRANKLIN COUNTY AS EXPERIENCING VERY DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA. SO. BUT WE NEED THAT RAIN AND WE ARE LOOKING AT MORE SHOWERS HEADING INTO OUR TUESDAY AND ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY, WHERE WE’LL SEE A BETTER RAIN CHANCE IN TERMS OF LATER IN THE DAY FOR WEDNESDAY. NOW, TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID 50S FOR HARRISBURG AND CARLISLE, 57 IN LEWISTOWN AND GETTYSBURG, ALONG WITH WITH WITH LANCASTER AT THIS TIME. NOW STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK. I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THE CLOUDS THAT ARE JUST MOVING THROUGH. YOU CAN SEE ON THE SATELLITE IMAGERY, YOU CAN SEE THERE’S SOME CLEARING SKIES JUST TO OUR NORTH THAT WILL EVENTUALLY START TO INFILTRATE ITS WAY INTO THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. YOU CAN SEE MAINLY CLEAR CONDITIONS BEGIN TO DEVELOP AS WE’LL GET SOME NORTHERLY FLOW THANKS TO HIGH PRESSURE. THAT’S JUST TO OUR NORTH. NOW THAT’S GOING TO BE SETTING US UP WITH A MOSTLY SUNNY SKY FOR OUR MONDAY. ALSO A MOSTLY, MOSTLY CLEAR NIGHT FOR OUR MONDAY NIGHT. INTO TUESDAY. YOU CAN SEE AS WE HEAD INTO TUESDAY MORNING, ANOTHER SYSTEM THAT’S GOING TO PUSH THROUGH THAT’S GOING TO ALLOW FOR THAT NEXT SHOWER CHANCE, ALTHOUGH IT’S A VERY IT’S A VERY WEAK BOUNDARY THAT’S GOING TO BE PASSING BY. I DO EXPECT TO SEE A VERY SLIGHT CHANCE OF SOME SHOWERS AS WE HEAD INTO OUR TUESDAY. THE BETTER CHANCE COMES ON OUR WEDNESDAY, WHERE WE’LL SEE SHOWERS BEGIN TO COME IN LATE IN THE DAY. NOW IN TERMS OF 8 TO 14 DAY TEMPERATURE OUTLOOK, MAY 4TH THROUGH THE 10TH IS WHAT THIS IS. WHEN THIS IS VALID FOR, IT WILL BE SEEING SOME SOME BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE TEN DAY FORECAST. AND YOU CAN SEE SHOWER CHANCES FOR TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND ALSO EARLY THURSDAY. BREEZY AND MILDER HEADING INTO OUR FRIDAY. A CHANCE OF SOME SHOWERS FOR YOUR SATURDAY, BUT IF YOU LOOK CLOSER TOWARDS THE END OF THE TEN DAY FORECAST, I DO SEE SOME MILDER TRENDS. WE COULD BE SEEING SOME UPPER 60
