<\/p>\nMuch cooler today, 70s return tomorrow in south-central Pennsylvania<\/p>\n
Rain chances are minimal the next few days, then rain is likely Easter morning <\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNOW, THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST CHRISTINE FERREIRA. GOOD MORNING. IT IS 644. TODAY, MUCH, MUCH COOLER THAN THE PAST FEW DAYS. INSTEAD OF HITTING THE UPPER 70S OR 80 DEGREES, WE\u2019RE GOING TO HOVER NEAR 50 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON. THAT\u2019S ABOUT A 25 PLUS DEGREE COOL DOWN FROM WHERE WE WERE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. SO MUCH COOLER IS THE HEADLINE. BUT TOMORROW, GUESS WHAT? 70 ARE BACK, 70 WILL BE BACK FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. EASTER WILL FEATURE A CHANCE OF RAIN IN THE MORNING AND THEN HIGHS IN THE 60S WITH DRIER CONDITIONS IN THE AFTERNOON. TODAY, OUR NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST STARTS OUT CLOUDY AND DAMP. THERE MIGHT BE A SHOWER OR SOME PATCHY DRIZZLE STILL LEFT OVER. TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 50S. NOTICE THOSE NUMBERS DO NOT BUDGE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THEY HOLD STEADY IN THE LOW 50S THAT WIND OUT OF THE EAST IS GOING TO PACK IN THE CLOUDS, AND THE COOLER TEMPERATURES. BUT IT\u2019S JUST FOR ONE DAY. TONIGHT, CLOUDY SKIES, A LITTLE PATCHY DRIZZLE 42 TO 46. TOMORROW THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH AND CHECK OUT OUR RESULTING HIGH TEMPERATURES. 70 TO 74. WON\u2019T RULE OUT A COUPLE OF SHOWERS TOMORROW, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE DAY WILL BE DRY. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 40 IN LEWISTOWN AND SELINSGROVE, BUT 50S ACROSS MOST OF THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. GOOD MORNING HARRISBURG. YOU\u2019RE AT 53. WE HAVE A PAIR OF FIVES IN YORK AND 50 ON THE NOSE IN LEBANON AND LANCASTER. BUT BOY, THAT EASTERLY WIND THAT\u2019S COMING IN HERE AT 5 TO 15MPH, THAT IS WHAT\u2019S GOING TO KEEP US COOL TODAY. WEATHER, HEALTH CHECK. OUR TREE POLLEN LEVELS ARE STILL MODERATE. MOLD SPORES ARE LOW, AIR QUALITY IS LOOKING GOOD AND THE UV INDEX IS LOW. OF COURSE, DUE TO THE CLOUD COVER TODAY OF OVER ONE HOUR. RIGHT NOW, A LITTLE PATCHY DRIZZLE WON\u2019T RULE OUT A STRAY SHOWER THIS MORNING. THE BULK OF THE RAIN THAT CAME THROUGH OVERNIGHT THAT IS NOW WELL OFF TO OUR EAST. SO WE HAVE THIS BOUNDARY THAT\u2019S LINGERING JUST ALONG THE PENNSYLVANIA MARYLAND STATE LINE. IT STAYS SOUTH TODAY, MEANING WE STAY COOL, WE STAY CLOUDY AND MAYBE AN OCCASIONAL SHOWER, BUT MOST OF THE DAY IS DRY. TOMORROW MORNING, WE\u2019LL WATCH THE BOUNDARY TO THE NORTH. WE GET INTO SOME SUNSHINE. WE POP BACK INTO THE 70S FOR OUR HIGHS AND THERE MAY BE A SHOWER. BUT AGAIN, MOST OF THE DAY IS DRY. HERE\u2019S SATURDAY. STARTING OUT ON A DRY NOTE, A STRAY SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM IN THE AFTERNOON OR EVENING WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES SOARING WELL INTO THE 70S ON SATURDAY. THAT IS THE WARMER HALF OF THE WEEKEND FOR EASTER. WE\u2019RE EXPECTING A FRONT IN IN THE MORNING. NOW IT\u2019S SPED UP JUST A LITTLE BIT, BUT A DRIER AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HERE\u2019S THE PREDICTOR. ESTIMATED RAINFALL TOTALS JUST THROUGH SATURDAY. MOST SPOTS PICKING UP LITTLE TO NOTHING. HOWEVER WE SHOULD SEE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL ON SUNDAY, WHICH COULD AMOUNT TO A COUPLE TENTHS OF AN INCH AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK. NOTICE WE START OUT COOL MONDAY AT 54, TUESDAY 52 AND OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE BACK DOWN IN THE 30S. HOWEVER, LATER IN THE WEEK,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
