<\/p>\nPeriods Of Rain This Evening, Cooler Temperatures Continue This Week Across South-Central Pennsylvania<\/p>\n
A soaking rain is in store for this evening; temperatures will remain cool through early next week<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCONVERSATIONS WITH THE AMISH COMMUNITY. NOW, THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST WITH METEOROLOGIST MIKE SUSKO. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. WE\u2019RE CONTINUING TO TRACK THE RAIN ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY THIS EVENING. AS WE GO INTO THE NIGHT, WE WILL SEE THIS RAIN CONTINUE ON AND OFF OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS, INCLUDING IN MIFFLIN, JUNIATA, PERRY COUNTY, AND DAUPHIN COUNTY. THAT\u2019S WHERE WE GOT SOME OF THAT LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN AT TIMES INDICATED BY SOME OF THE YELLOWS AND ORANGES. YOU CAN SEE SOME HEAVY RAIN ACTUALLY GETTING READY TO MOVE THROUGH HARRISBURG. SO HEADS UP THERE, IF YOU\u2019RE IN THE CAPITAL AREA, YOU\u2019RE ABOUT TO GET SOME DOWNPOURS. IT LOOKS LIKE SAME THING IN YORK AS SOME HEAVY RAIN. OFF TO YOUR WEST IS ABOUT TO MOVE IN. LOOKS LIKE WE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK OVER LANCASTER COUNTY FOR PARTS OF THE COUNTY HERE, BUT THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE SHORT LIVED AS MORE RAIN WILL MOVE IN FROM THE WEST. AND THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF A COLD FRONT THAT IS MOVING INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST. AND BEHIND IT. WE DO HAVE WINDS OUT OF NORTHWEST HERE THAT ARE GOING TO PICK UP TOMORROW. WE WILL SEE THE WINDS INCREASE AND THAT WILL BRING US BREEZY CONDITIONS AS WE HEAD INTO YOUR THURSDAY. BUT UNTIL THEN, HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THAT ON OFF RAIN UNTIL ABOUT MIDNIGHT. ONCE MIDNIGHT OCCURS, WE WILL SEE THE RAIN MOVE OUT AND THEN TOMORROW IN THE MORNING COULD SEE SOME PATCHY FOG ACROSS THE AREA, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE OF YOU IN VALLEYS AND NEAR RIVERS AND STREAMS. YOU MAY SEE A LITTLE BIT OF FOG TOMORROW, SO JUST BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THAT AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON. A FEW SPOTTY SHOWERS. NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION, ALTHOUGH IT DOES LOOK LIKE THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE FOR A LITTLE MORE A FEW FAR IN BETWEEN THAT ONE. AS WE GO INTO YOUR FRIDAY, WE WILL SEE HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE SOUTH. A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN MOVES IN FROM THE WEST HERE AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS. NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION AS YOU\u2019RE HEADING HOME FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY EVENING. HERE\u2019S SOME VERY LIGHT RAIN EXPECTED WITH THAT. HOW MUCH RAIN CAN WE EXPECT HERE? GENERALLY AROUND ANOTHER 2\/10 TO A QUARTER OF AN INCH OF RAIN FOR MOST OF THE AREA. SOME AREAS, LIKE CHAMBERSBURG MAY GET A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT, BUT OTHERWISE WE WILL NOT BE SEEING AT LEAST FLOODING RAIN. AND WE DO NEED IT. YOU\u2019RE LOOKING AT THE CURRENT DROUGHT ALERTS ACROSS THE AREA, AND THE LIGHT TAN COLOR IS A DROUGHT WATCH. AND THE DARKER ORANGE CAN BE ANY KIND OF COLOR THERE FOR CHESTER COUNTY, ADAMS, FRANKLIN AND CUMBERLAND COUNTY. THAT IS A DROUGHT WARNING THAT COMES FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. AND WE DO NEED THE RAIN. YOU\u2019RE LOOKING AT THE RAINFALL DEPARTURE FROM THE PAST 12 MONTHS. THE RAINFALL FROM TODAY, BY THE WAY, IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS YET. BUT YOU CAN SEE HOW WE HAVE A LOT OF MONTHS HERE BELOW NORMAL. IN FACT, REALLY IT\u2019S LAST MAY, JUNE AND JULY WAS OUR BEST STRETCH OF SEEING THAT RAINFALL ACROSS THE AREA WITH OCTOBER AND ALSO THIS PAST MARCH. EVERY OTHER MONTH HAS BEEN BELOW NORMAL, SO WE\u2019RE GETTING MUCH NEEDED RAIN. AS I SAID, THAT STEADY RAIN IS MOVING INTO HARRISBURG RIGHT NOW. THAT WILL CONTINUE AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. TEMPERATURES 54 IN HARRISBURG, SAME THING IN LANCASTER AND CARLISLE, 57 IN YORK, LEBANON. YOU\u2019RE AT 58 AND 59 IN GETTYSBURG. THAT IS THE WARM SPOT. SO FOR THIS EVENING, PERIODS OF RAIN WILL CONTINUE. IT WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES AND THERE MAY BE SOME THUNDER WITH IT TONIGHT. MOSTLY CLOUDY SHOWERS WILL END AFTER MIDNIGHT AND WE WILL BE WATCHING FOR SOME PATCHY FOG WITH TEMPERATURES RIGHT AROUND 50 DEGREES. TOMORROW. PARTLY SUNNY, STRAY SHOWER HERE WILL BE BREEZY AND COOL AS WE HEAD INTO YOUR THURSDAY, WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 60S. AND IT WILL BE BREEZY AS WELL WITH THOSE WINDS OUT OF THE NORTHWEST AROUND 10 TO 20MPH. BREEZY ON YOUR THURSDAY, FEW SHOWERS ON FRIDAY AND A COOL DAY SATURDAY. WE STAY BELOW AVERAGE ALL WEEKEND. HIGHS WILL STAY AROUND 60 DEGREES. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY GET UP TO 68 BY MONDAY AND THEN WE\u2019LL SEE 70 RETURN AS WE GO INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEX\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
