Breezy & Chilly Tonight; Seasonable End to The Week Before Weekend Rain In South Central Pennsylvania
Overnight lows will drop to near 40° with highs returning to the low 50s on Thursday.
SCHEDULES. GOOD AFTERNOON. AS WE GO INTO THE NIGHT TONIGHT, IT WILL BE REMAIN BREEZY AND THAT WILL STICK AROUND FOR YOUR THURSDAY AS WELL. IF YOU’RE TRYING TO MAKE WEEKEND PLANS, JUST KNOW SHOWERS DO RETURN LATE IN THE DAY SATURDAY AND ALSO SUNDAY HERE. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THE WEEKEND WILL NOT BE WASHED OUT COMPLETELY EARLY NEXT WEEK. HIGHS GET BACK INTO THE UPPER 40, SO A LITTLE BIT BELOW AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, BUT NOTHING TOO CRAZY HERE. IT WON’T BE AS COLD AS WHAT WE HAD YESTERDAY WHEN WE GOT TO 43. WE DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN COMING THROUGH PARTS OF THE AREA, AT LEAST ON RADAR AT THE MOMENT. AS WE ZOOM IN HERE TO PARTS OF DAUPHIN AND LEBANON COUNTY. A LITTLE BIT OF SPRINKLE ACTIVITY, MAYBE FOR JONES TOWN THERE IN LEBANON, AS WELL AS GRANVILLE ELIZABETHVILLE DOWN TO DAUPHIN AND LINGLESTOWN. SO DON’T BE SURPRISED IF YOU SEE A FEW SPRINKLES THERE POPPING UP HERE SHORTLY. AND ALSO IN PARTS OF JUNIATA, MIFFLIN, PERRY COUNTY, THERE NEAR BLAINE, AS ALSO HEADING OUT BY PORT ROYAL, LIVERPOOL. THERE, CARLISLE COULD SEE A FEW SPRINKLES HERE AS THIS COMES ON THROUGH, AND MOST OF THIS IS NOT REACHING THE GROUND, BUT WE WILL BE WATCHING IT TO SEE IF WE DO GET ANY GROUND TRUTH REPORTS WITH THAT. THE REASON FOR THIS, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A WARM FRONT COMING THROUGH AT THE MOMENT HERE, SO THAT’S HELPING TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF ENERGY THAT’S GOING TO TRIGGER SOME OF THESE SHOWERS AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT FEW HOURS HERE. AND IN FACT, WITH THE HARRISBURG SKY CAM, IF YOU LOOK IN THE DISTANCE, SEE HOW YOU GET A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN STREAKS HERE AND THERE, THAT IS WHAT WE CALL VIRGA. THIS IS PRECIPITATION FALLING FROM THE CLOUDS. THIS IS WHAT THE RADAR IS ACTUALLY HITTING RIGHT NOW IS UP HERE CLOSE TO THE BASE OF THE CLOUD. BUT WHETHER OR NOT IT REACHES THE GROUND IS ANOTHER STORY. SOMETIMES YOU GET EVAPORATION AS THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I’LL SHOW LIKE IT’S SNOWING ON YOUR PHONE APP IN THE WINTER, BUT YOU STEP OUTSIDE AND THERE’S NO SNOW AT ALL. A LOT OF TIMES IT IS VIRGA, AND THAT MAY BE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN PARTS OF THE AREA. HARRISBURG RIGHT NOW 52 DEGREES. CURRENTLY IF YOU STEP OUTSIDE, IT’S ALSO 52, IN CAMP HILL, DOVER 53. SAME THING THERE IN YORK, LANCASTER AT 52 AND 51. THERE. ELIZABETHTOWN. IT’S 53 IN SHIPPENSBURG AND 57 IN CHAMBERSBURG. THE WARM SPOT THERE IF YOU WANT SOME OF THAT WINTER LIKE FEEL GO UP TO LEWISTOWN WHERE IT’S CURRENTLY 48 AND WE WILL SEE THOSE WIND GUSTS UPWARDS AROUND 25 TO 30MPH AS WE GO THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS HERE. SO STILL BREEZY EVEN FOR THE START OF TOMORROW. AND TONIGHT THERE IS A CHANCE. ALTHOUGH I WILL BE HONEST WITH YOU, IT LOOKS LIKE THAT CHANCE IS DECREASING EVERY TIME WE GET CLOSER AND CLOSER TO IT. THAT YOU MAY SEE THE AURORA, BUT IF WE GET A CHANCE TONIGHT, YOU WANT TO HAVE A CLEAR VIEW OF THE HORIZON. LOOKING TO THE NORTH, GET AWAY FROM THE CITY LIGHTS. IN THIS CASE, I REALLY THINK YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO GET AWAY FROM CITY LIGHTS TO SEE IT, BECAUSE IT’S JUST NOT GOING TO BE AS STRONG AS LAST NIGHT. ALSO, YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO USE THE LONG EXPOSURE OR NIGHT MODE ON YOUR PHONE HERE. SO YOU HAVE TO GO TO YOUR CAMERA SETTINGS, AND YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT WHETHER OR NOT THAT’S ON. THAT IS ANOTHER WAY YOU’RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE. I DON’T THINK YOU’RE GOING TO SEE WITH THE NAKED EYE TONIGHT. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE FORECAST FOR THIS EVENING. IT IS GOING TO BE FAIR CONDITIONS FOR VIEWING ANYTHING IN THE SKY, AS TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S HERE UNDER A PARTLY CLOUDY SKY THAT WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT. 40 WILL BE THE OVERNIGHT LOW, BUT IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIKE YOU’RE IN THE LOW 30S HERE BECAUSE OF THAT WIND. TOMORROW. PARTLY SUNNY, BREEZY AND COOL. VERY SIMILAR TO TODAY, ALTHOUGH I DO THINK YOU GET MORE SUNSHINE TOMORROW COMPARED TO TODAY, AND IN PARTICULAR REALLY SHOWS THAT AS WE GO THROUGH THIS EVENING, WE CLEAR OUT A LITTLE BIT HERE. HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET A LITTLE BIT OF CLEARING IN TIME AND THEN AS WE GO THROUGH TOMORROW, STARTING OFF SUNSHINE, LESS CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE AREA, ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL TRY TO COME THROUGH. THAT’S PROBABLY GOING TO TRIGGER SOME CLOUDS TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS IT MOVES ON THROUGH THE AREA. AND THEN FOR YOUR FRIDAY AGAIN, A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS AS WE HEAD INTO THE END OF THE WORKWEEK. AND TEMPERATURE WISE, WE’RE GOING TO BE IN THE 50S HERE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. EVEN GETTING CLOSE TO MAYBE 60 IN SOME CASES ON SUNDAY. BUT NOTICE HOW WE DROP INTO THE 40S BY MONDAY. AND ALSO IT’S WHERE WE’RE GOING TO SEE OUR RAIN CHANCES RETURN HERE. IT WILL BE OVER THE WEEKEND, LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY MORNING WILL BE OUR BEST CHANCE FOR SOME RAIN, SO JUST BE AWARE OF THAT AS YOU’RE MAKING THOSE WEEKEND PLANS. TEN DAY FORECAST SHOWING 50S FOR STICK AROUND THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND THEN WE DROP BACK INTO THE 40S FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY THERE AS WELL. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE SOME RAIN COMING HERE, MICHAEL AND SUSAN, IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE IT’S GOING TO BE WASH OUT BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION HERE. ALL RIGHT, THAT’S GOOD. GETTING CLOSE TO 60. THAT FEELS LIKE A VACATION AT THIS POINT. YEAH, IT’S FEEL LIKE EARLY SUMMER IN SOME CASES. A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING. 50S AND
