IT SEEMS LIKE IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A NICE WEEK TO SIT OUTSIDE. IF YOU\u2019RE HEADING OUT TO RESTAURANT WEEK. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. IT\u2019S GOING TO BE IT\u2019S GOING TO BE VERY WARM. AS WE HEAD INTO THE WORKWEEK. WE\u2019RE GOING TO SEE WE\u2019RE GOING TO SEE TEMPERATURES GETTING UP INTO THE 80S AS WE HEAD INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WORKWEEK. COULD POTENTIALLY GET SOME RECORD CHALLENGING WARMTH FOR OUR WEDNESDAY. SO LET\u2019S TALK ABOUT IT. SO IT\u2019S GOING TO FEEL LIKE SUMMER AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEK WITH HIGHS INTO THE 80S TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, WEDNESDAY, THOUGH, THAT\u2019S THAT\u2019S WHAT I\u2019M GOING TO BE WATCHING TO SEE WHERE THOSE TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE GOING. WE\u2019RE FORECASTING 87 OR EXCUSE ME, 86. BUT THE RECORD IS 87. BACK IN 1941. A FEW RAIN CHANCES THOUGH FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. BUT SHOWER CHANCES DO RETURN AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEKEND. SO ALMANAC FOR THE DAY TODAY HIT A HIGH OF 66 DEGREES. AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR IS 63. NO RAINFALL AT HARRISBURG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. BUT HERE\u2019S THE WEATHER PLANNER FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. TONIGHT, EXPECT MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS, MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP AT AROUND 52 DEGREES IS WHERE WILL BOTTOM OUT AT. AND THEN FOR TOMORROW MORNING. MOSTLY CLOUDY, BREEZY, 64 DEGREES. AND ONCE WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON, WE\u2019LL HAVE A BOUNDARY START TO MOVE THROUGH. THAT\u2019S GOING TO ALLOW FOR FEW SHOWER CHANCES FOR THE AFTERNOON. STILL REMAINING MOSTLY CLOUDY FOR THE ENTIRE AREA. SO WEATHER IN HEALTH FOR THE DAY TOMORROW. TREE POLLEN LEVELS. THEY\u2019RE GOING TO BE HIGH REMAINING HIGH AND GRASS POLLEN LEVELS THERE A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE MODERATE SIDE BUT CLOSE TO THE TO THE HIGH SIDE. MOLD LEVELS WILL BE LOW AIR QUALITY IS MODERATE. WE\u2019LL HAVE A MODERATE UV INDEX, ABOUT A 35 MINUTE BURN TIME FOR THE AFTERNOON. NOW TEMPERATURES INTO THE 40S FOR LANCASTER INTO THE UPPER 50S FOR THE WHITE ROSE CITY 57 IN GETTYSBURG, 59 IN CARLISLE. STILL INTO THE 60S FOR CHAMBERSBURG AND LEWISTOWN AT THIS TIME. WINDS THOUGH COMING IN OUT OF THE SOUTH, I\u2019D SAY GENERALLY BETWEEN 5 AND 15MPH. STILL A LITTLE BIT BREEZY AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF THIS. AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF THE NIGHT TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW, YOU CAN SEE STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK. NOT REALLY, JUST NOT SEEING ANY PRECIPITATION, JUST REALLY SEEING SOME CLOUDS BEGINNING TO MOVE THROUGH. AND THAT\u2019S JUST AHEAD OF A WARM FRONT THAT\u2019S GOING TO START TO MOVE INTO THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, GETTING INTO TOMORROW MORNING. NOW THIS IS WHERE THE WARMER AIR IS REALLY GOING TO START TO MOVE IN. ONCE THIS FRONT PASSES BY, WE\u2019LL HAVE THAT. WE\u2019LL HAVE THAT AIR USHER IN. AND HERE COMES THIS BOUNDARY THAT\u2019S GOING TO START TO PUSH THROUGH OUR WESTERN COMMUNITIES. THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE RIGHT AROUND 1230, 1:00 IN THE AFTERNOON. I DO EXPECT TO SEE A FEW SHOWERS BEGIN TO DEVELOP AND THEN LAST UP UNTIL FOR A COUPLE OR FEW HOURS, BY THE TIME WE GET TO ABOUT 6:00 IN THE EVENING, THAT\u2019S WHEN WE\u2019LL SEE THAT BOUNDARY PUSH OUT AND WE\u2019LL START TO SEE SOME CLEARING IN THE WAKE OF THAT BOUNDARY. NOW HERE COMES TUESDAY MORNING THAT WE\u2019RE SEEING SOME CLEARING. BUT ONCE WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON AND POTENTIALLY THE EVENING, WE ARE LOOKING AT THE CHANCE OF SEEING SOME MORE SHOWERS AND COULD POTENTIALLY SEE SOME STORMS AS WE GET INTO LATE TUESDAY. SO I DO HAVE A THUNDERSTORM CHANCE ON TAP FOR US AS WE GET INTO OUR TUESDAY. BUT THE MAIN STORY HERE, LOOK AT THIS. WE GOT TEMPERATURES GETTING INTO THE 80S FOR TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND ALSO OUR THURSDAY. THIS IS THE DAY I\u2019M GOING TO BE WATCHING. WEDNESDAY WE\u2019RE FORECASTING 86. THE RECORD IS 87, WHICH WAS SET BACK IN 1941. SO SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON AS WE HEAD INTO THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. SO FEW SHOWER CHANCES FOR OUR MONDAY. STILL FEELING LIKE WE\u2019RE FEELING LIKE JUNE FOR OUR TUESDAY. STILL HAVE THAT SHOWER ICON THERE NEAR RECORD WARMTH WEDNESDAY SUMMER LIKE FOR YOUR THURSDAY. NOT AS WARM AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. I THINK THE NEXT BEST CHANCE OF\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Temperatures soar to the 80s this week across south-central Pennsylvania<\/p>\n<p>Winds shifting to the southwest will pump in summerlike warmth this up coming week.

You\u2019ll notice an uptick in humidity with dew points near 60\u00b0. Not oppressive by any means, but enough to make it feel a bit sticky, especially in the afternoons. Other than a late shower or thunderstorm Tuesday and a couple late showers Thursday night, rain chances remain low so great weather for outdoor plans.Temperatures briefly fall back to near 80\u00b0 on Friday. It\u2019s still warm and pleasant. That tranquil weather continues into the start of the weekend with summerlike weather continuing. Highs are in the low 80s.
