YEAH. IMPACT MORNING FOR THE HEAVY RAIN. THE POSSIBLE FOG. ALTHOUGH VISIBILITY HAS IMPROVED, WE ARE STILL DEALING WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN RIGHT NOW. SO THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE THE BIGGER STORY. YOU CAN SEE THE YELLOWS AND ORANGES ON THE RADAR INCLUDING PARTS OF CUMBERLAND, JUNIATA, PERRY COUNTY, LEBANON, DAUPHIN, YORK. YOU\u2019RE ALL GETTING THAT MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN AS IT MOVES EAST. HERE\u2019S OUR VISIBILITY RIGHT NOW. IMPROVING A LOT. THREE FOUR MILES. THAT RAIN REALLY HELPED TO DO THE TRICK. AND TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW ARE HOLDING ABOVE FREEZING, WELL ABOVE FREEZING IN MANY SPOTS 3637 DEGREES. HERE\u2019S OUR 12 HOUR FORECAST. I DO THINK THE RAIN MOVES OUT THIS MORNING, AND AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON, WE SHOULD JUST SEE CLOUDY SKIES WITH SOME CLEARING LATE OUR HIG\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
