Warmest Day Of The Week Thursday In South Central Pennsylvania<\/p>\n

High temperatures will reach the mid\/upper 70s on Thursday in the Susquehanna Valley. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWGAL AS THE MEDIA PARTNER FOR THE EVENT. NOW THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST WITH METEOROLOGIST MIKE SUSKO. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. WE\u2019RE GOING TO KEEP UP THE WARMING TREND AS WE GO THROUGH YOUR THURSDAY WITH HIGHS. ONCE AGAIN GETTING BACK INTO THE 70S. WE\u2019LL STAY IN THE 70S ON FRIDAY FOR PARTS OF THE AREA, BUT THAT\u2019S ALSO WE\u2019LL START TO SEE A FEW SHOWERS. A BETTER CHANCE THOUGH, WILL COME OVER THE WEEKEND. ON SATURDAY, ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON. AND THEN WE\u2019RE BACK IN THE 60S AS WE GO INTO NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SOME RAIN THOUGH, AS WE HEAD INTO TUESDAY. BUT HERE\u2019S A LOOK OUTSIDE HARRISBURG FROM OUR SKYCAM. BEAUTIFUL SHOT THERE OVER THE CAPITAL THIS EVENING. AND TEMPERATURES 57 IN HARRISBURG, 52 IN LANCASTER, STILL 61 IN YORK, 58 IN DOVER. UP IN DUNCANNON FOR PERRY COUNTY AS WELL. AND 55 IN CARLISLE. AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT, MOST OF US DROP DOWN TO AROUND 50 DEGREES FOR THOSE OVERNIGHT LOWS. SOME OF YOU IN THE COLDER SPOTS, THOUGH, MIGHT BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S. AS WE GO INTO TOMORROW MORNING. ONCE THE SUN COMES UP, WE\u2019LL GET BACK INTO THE 60S HERE AS YOU HEAD OFF TO WORK AND SCHOOL, AND THEN THE 70S FOR THE AFTERNOON UNDER A MOSTLY SUNNY SKY. AND AS I SAID, THE RAIN CHANCES DO RETURN THOUGH, AS WE HEAD TOWARDS FRIDAY, BUT ESPECIALLY SATURDAY. THAT WILL BE THE BEST CHANCE FOR SOME RAIN AS WE GO INTO THE AFTERNOON. AND THEN IT WILL GET A LITTLE DRIER AS WE HEAD TOWARDS SUNDAY AND MONDAY. BUT RIGHT NOW, STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK IS QUIET ACROSS THE AREA. WE DO HAVE SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN OHIO, PARTS OF WEST VIRGINIA AND SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, BUT THAT\u2019S ALL THE RAIN THAT WE WOULD BE GETTING HERE AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT. SO THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY IS GOING TO STAY DRY AS WE GO INTO TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE FOR YOUR THURSDAY, TOMORROW, A WARM FRONT WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST. AND WHEREVER THAT FRONT SETS UP ON FRIDAY IS GOING TO BE KEY BECAUSE IT WILL HAVE TWO EFFECTS. ONE IS THE TEMPERATURE. IF YOU ARE NORTH OF THAT FRONT, YOU\u2019RE GOING TO BE A BIT COOLER COMPARED TO AREAS TO THE SOUTH. IT\u2019S ALSO WHERE WE\u2019RE GOING TO SEE THE SHOWERS REALLY KIND OF LINE UP AND FORM ALONG. NOTICE HOW WE\u2019RE SEEING THAT SHOWER ACTIVITY, AT LEAST RIGHT NOW ON THIS MODEL, MOSTLY IN FRANKLIN, ADAMS AND CUMBERLAND COUNTIES. THAT\u2019S WHERE THE FRONT IS. IF THIS FRONT SHIFTS A LITTLE BIT FARTHER TO THE EAST, SO WILL THE RAIN SHOWERS THERE. AS WE GO INTO YOUR FRIDAY. BUT IT\u2019S NOT FRIDAY\u2019S RAIN THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE SEEING MOST OF OUR PRECIPITATION FROM. IT\u2019S ACTUALLY SATURDAY DURING THE AFTERNOON. SATURDAY MORNING. IF YOU HAVE ANY MORNING PLANS, YOU WILL HAVE SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AROUND, BUT THE WIDESPREAD STUFF HOLDS OFF TILL THE AFTERNOON AND IT WILL BE ON AND OFF AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT YOUR SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THERE WILL BE SOME BREAKS IN THE RAIN, BUT YOU CAN SEE IT IS MORE WIDESPREAD. IT\u2019S ALSO GOING TO BE A LITTLE STEADIER AT TIMES BEFORE IT ALL MOVES OUT. AS WE HEAD INTO SUNDAY MORNING. BY THE TIME YOU WAKE UP, SUNDAY SHOULD BE DRY AND WE\u2019LL SEE. CLEARING FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY. BUT HOW MUCH RAIN ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? GENERALLY A QUARTER TO A HALF AN INCH OF RAIN ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. SO NOT A LOT. WE WON\u2019T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH FLOODING, BUT WE DO NEED QUITE A BIT OF RAIN HERE IN PARTS OF THE AREA. WE NEED OVER AN INCH, ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF ACTUALLY TO CATCH UP. MONTH TO DATE, SEASON TO DATE. AROUND HALF AN INCH HERE BECAUSE MARCH WAS A PRETTY RAINY MONTH FOR US. BUT YEAR TO DATE SO FAR IN 2026, WE\u2019RE MORE THAN TWO INCHES BELOW AVERAGE AND WE START OFF DRY. LAST YEAR HERE FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS. SO WE\u2019RE KIND OF SEEING SIMILAR SETUP RIGHT NOW FOR THE FIRST LITTLE BIT OF 2026, WHERE HOW THINGS ARE A LITTLE BIT DRIER, BUT WE WILL START TO SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND AGAIN SATURDAY, THE BEST CHANCE OF SOME RAIN. WE\u2019LL ALSO COOL DOWN TO THAT 56 DEGREES 62 ON YOUR SUNDAY WITH GRADUAL CLEARING 66 ON MONDAY. ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SOME RA\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
