IT\u2019S BEEN STEADY FOR A WHILE NOW. IT HAS BEEN VERY STEADY, AND IT IS GOOD NEWS TO BE ABLE TO SEE SOME OF THIS RAIN TODAY. AS MUCH AS WE WANT TO SEE THE SUN SHINE FOR FOR THE DAY, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE GET SOME MORE OF THIS RAIN BECAUSE WE ARE IN STILL A BIT OF A DROUGHT AND STILL LOOKING AT SOME VERY, VERY DRY CONDITIONS, WHICH WE\u2019LL CHAT ABOUT HERE IN JUST A SECOND. BUT HERE\u2019S SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS YOU CAN SEE MOVING ACROSS FROM STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK. YOU CAN SEE ZOOMING IN TOWARDS PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN LEBANON COUNTY, JUST OUTSIDE OF SCHAEFFERSTOWN, CLOSING IN TOWARDS NEWMANSTOWN. THAT\u2019S ALL STARTING TO START TO MOVE OUT, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME RATHER MODERATE TO HEAVIER SHOWERS. ALSO CLOSING IN ON CRESWELL MILLERSVILLE. AT THIS TIME, YOU SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A DOWNPOUR STARTING TO MOVE IN JUST TO THE NORTH OF PARKWAY THERE. BUT YOU CAN ALSO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A SHOWER STARTING TO CLOSE IN ON THE CAPITAL AT THIS TIME, JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE CAPITAL, JUST ALONG OR JUST ALONG. OR YOU CAN SEE IT\u2019S STARTING TO MOVE INTO DAUPHIN COUNTY. ALSO SOME SOME SHOWERS, SOME LIGHTER SHOWERS. I WOULD SAY JUST PASSING OVER WAYNESBORO. I\u2019D SAY MAYBE SOME SPRINKLES TOO, IS WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN TERMS OF THE COVERAGE NOW. RIGHT NOW, LOOKING AT 51 DEGREES FOR THE CAPITAL, STILL SEEING SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS, MOVING THROUGH LIGHTER SHOWERS, I SHOULD SAY, I SHOULD SAY WITH A WITH A CALMER EAST SOUTH EASTERLY BREEZE, RIGHT AROUND SEVEN MILES PER HOUR. BUT SHOWERS WILL BEGIN TO END OVERNIGHT. BUT IT\u2019S A GOOD SOAKING AT ABOUT A HALF INCH TO UP TO AN INCH OF SOME RAIN SO FAR ACROSS THE AREA. BREEZY THURSDAY. HIGHS INTO THE LOW 60S AND THEN WILL BE A BIT OF A COOLER. FRIDAY. WE\u2019LL SEE A FEW SHOWER CHANCES WITH TEMPERATURES STILL REMAINING BELOW AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. NOW, THE AFTERNOON CLIMATOLOGICAL REPORT HAD ABOUT A TRACE OF SOME RAIN, BUT AS OF NOW, OVER THE LAST 12 HOURS HAD ABOUT JUST JUST UNDER THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF SOME RAIN AT THE AT THE AIRPORT AT THIS TIME. BUT WE HAD WE HIT A HIGH OF 58 DEGREES FOR OUR. WEDNESDAY 69 IS WHAT WE EXPECT FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, SO WE\u2019RE BELOW. WE\u2019RE ABOUT TEN JUST. WE\u2019RE OVER TEN DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE NOW IN TERMS OF THE OVERNIGHT LOWS EARLIER THIS MORNING HIT RIGHT AROUND 53 DEGREES. AND THEN IN TERMS OF WHAT WE EXPECT IS RIGHT AROUND 48 DEGREES. SO WE\u2019RE RIGHT AROUND PAR IN TERMS OF THAT. BUT MOUNT HOLLY SPRINGS JUST OVER AN INCH OF SOME RAIN CLOSING IN ON THAT ONE INCH MARK FOR MIFFLIN TOWNSHIP JUNIATA COUNTY. LEWISTOWN, PAXTONIA. FREDERICKSBURG. YOU CAN SEE ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH UP TO ABOUT 0.85IN OF SOME RAIN. SO WE DEFINITELY NEED IT BECAUSE THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION HAS ISSUED A DROUGHT WATCH FOR. YOU CAN SEE JUNIATA, PERRY, DAUPHIN, LEBANON, LANCASTER AND YORK COUNTIES AND THREE OF OUR COUNTIES, CUMBERLAND, ADAMS AND FRANKLIN COUNTY. UNDER A DROUGHT WARNING SO FAR. SO AGAIN, WE HAVE VERY DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA. SO SOMETHING THAT WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE WATCHING AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. BUT WE\u2019LL SEE SHOWERS AND OVERNIGHT WE\u2019LL SEE MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS FOR TOMORROW MORNING WITH THE AND THEN WE\u2019LL SEE A STRAY SHOWER CHANCE FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON, PARTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS, THEN WEATHER FOR THE DAY TOMORROW. TREES AND GRASS LEVELS. THE POLLEN LEVELS ARE GOING TO BE HIGH, SO KEEP THAT IN MIND. WE\u2019LL HAVE A MODERATE UV INDEX AND OUR SHOWER CHANCES FOR TOMORROW AND FRIDAY. LOOKING AT ISOLATED AND FEW SHOWERS IN NATURE SO YOU CAN SEE TEMPERATURES INTO THE 50S. UPPER 40S FOR LANCASTER. STILL GOING TO CONTINUE TO WATCH THESE SHOWERS MOVE OUT OF THE AREA. BUT THEN AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW, ONCE THESE SHOWERS MOVE OUT, WE\u2019LL START TO SEE SOME CLEARING FOR OUR THURSDAY MORNING. AND THEN YOU CAN STILL SEE AN ISOLATED CHANCE FOR THURSDAY EVENING. AND THEN HEADING INTO OUR FRIDAY, STILL LOOKING AT SOME HIGH PRESSURE THAT WILL BUILD IN. BUT THERE IS YET ANOTHER LITTLE BIT OF A DISTURBANCE THAT\u2019S GOING TO START TO MOVE THROUGH. THAT\u2019S GOING TO ALLOW FOR ANOTHER CHANCE FOR OUR FRIDAY AND THEN HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. IF YOU HAVE ANY PLANS, LOOKING COOL AND BREEZY AND DRY, BUT NEXT WEEK, LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Rain ending overnight, cooler temps continue this week across south-central Pennsylvania<\/p>\n<p>Rain ends overnight, then cloud cover clears for Thursday.
