\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGOOD, AND OUR UV INDEX IS HIGHER THANKS TO MORE SUNSHINE. A BURN TIME OF 30 MINUTES. THERE GO THE LAST FEW SHOWERS WE HAD OVERNIGHT WITH A COLD FRONT. COLD FRONT IS STATIONED RIGHT ALONG THE EAST COAST AND IT WILL BE MOVING AWAY TODAY, ALLOWING FOR CLEARING SKIES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. SO YOU CAN SEE ON THE PREDICTOR WE GET A LOAD OF SUNSHINE THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THEN CLOUDS BUBBLE UP A BIT. WE\u2019LL SEE. JUST A FEW SHOWERS LATE, MOST LIKELY AROUND DARK OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER. TOMORROW MORNING WE HAVE SUNSHINE TO START, THEN COOLER AIR MOVES OVERHEAD. THAT ALWAYS INCREASES OUR CLOUDS AND BRINGS IN A COUPLE OF SPOTTY SHOWERS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. FOR SATURDAY, WE\u2019LL START THE DAY WITH SOME LIGHT RAIN, SO SATURDAY MORNING THERE SHOULD BE LIGHT RAIN FALLING IN THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH DURING THE MORNING SO THAT RAIN WILL START TO TAPER BY LUNCHTIME. AND THEN A COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH LATER WITH A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND PERHAPS A RUMBLE OF THUNDER. SO WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON SATURDAY\u2019S FORECAST FOR ALL OF THOSE OUTDOOR PLANS. HERE\u2019S YOUR PREDICTOR. ESTIMATED RAINFALL TOTALS THROUGH SATURDAY, MOST SPOTS PICKING UP AROUND A QUARTER OF AN INCH, AGAIN TO UP TO A HALF INCH OF RAIN IN NORTHERNMOST COUNTIES. TEN DAY FORECAST SAYS. WE HAVE 60 TODAY, TOMORROW AND SATURDAY. THEN CHECK OUT SUNDAY. WE\u2019RE AT 74 FOR MOTHER\u2019S DAY. STILL LOOKING QUITE NICE NOW. THERE MAY BE SOME SHOWERS AFTER DARK ON MOTHER\u2019S DAY MONDAY. THOSE SHOWERS WRAP UP EARLY. IT\u2019S 64 FOR US ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY, 66 ON WEDNESDAY WITH A BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWER\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
