NOW, THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST, WITH METEOROLOGIST BRIAN ARGENTE, WE PICK AHEAD ON YOUR TEN DAY FORECAST HERE. FEELING COOL FOR YOUR THURSDAY? A FEW SHOWER CHANCES FOR YOUR FRIDAY, BUT LOOKING AHEAD TO OUR THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND, WE DO HAVE IT SET AS AN IMPACT DAY. AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE WE\u2019RE LOOKING AT RAIN TO SHOWERS FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE DAY. WE HAVE A LOT OF EVENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE HAPPENING FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND. WE HAVE THE TRUCK CONVOY THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE HAPPENING. WE HAVE COLLEGE GRADUATIONS HAPPENING. WE EVEN HAVE PROMS ARE GOING TO BE HAPPENING TOO. SO AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND. THE MAJORITY OF OUR SATURDAY IS LOOKING WET RIGHT NOW. BUT THEN FOR MOTHER\u2019S DAY, LOOKING PLEASANT WILL BE INTO THE LOWER 70S FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND. BUT LET\u2019S CHAT ABOUT THIS IMPACT DAY. WHAT WE\u2019RE EXPECTING. WE\u2019RE EXPECTING WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN. IT\u2019S A HIGH CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS, AND THEN A FEW SHOWERS LATER IN THE DAY FOR SATURDAY. IN TERMS OF RAIN TOTALS, ABOUT A QUARTER TO HALF INCH OF SOME RAIN. WE\u2019RE ONLY GOING TO BE SEEING HIGHS INTO THE MID 60S. BUT IF YOU\u2019RE LOOKING AT THE FORECAST FOR THE REST OF THE DAY TODAY, THIS AFTERNOON, INCREASING CLOUDS, WE\u2019RE STILL SEEING MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME. STILL COOL INTO THE MID 60S. WILL GO FOR OUR AFTERNOON HIGHS. BUT THEN WE\u2019LL GO DOWN TO THE LOWER 60S FOR THIS EVENING. WE\u2019LL START TO SEE INCREASING THAT CLOUD COVER WILL BE MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH LIGHT WINDS. AND THEN FOR TONIGHT WE COULD SEE A CHANCE OF AN ISOLATED SHOWER EARLY OVERNIGHT. BUT THEN WE\u2019LL TURN MOSTLY CLEAR DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. TEMPERATURES GETTING INTO THE MID 40S, WE SEE UPPER 50S FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE AREA, 59 FOR HARRISBURG, 58 IN YORK, 58 IN LANCASTER, 64. THOUGH IN LEBANON AT THIS TIME. AND IN TERMS OF STORM TEAM, LIVE RADAR NETWORK, ALL IS QUIET FOR THE MOST PART. SEEING SOME HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS. BUT THANKS TO SOME INCOMING HIGH PRESSURE, SOME DRIER AIR FROM THE NORTH, THAT HAS ALLOWED US TO BE ABLE TO BRIEFLY CLEAR SOME. BUT HERE COMES SOME OF THOSE INCREASING CLOUDS YOU CAN SEE ON PREDICTOR. COULD SEE THAT ISOLATED SHOWER CHANCE EARLY OVERNIGHT. BUT THEN WE START TO CLEAR OUT. WE\u2019LL SEE MAINLY CLEAR CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. HERE COMES OUR FRIDAY. HERE COMES THE CLOUDS. ONCE AGAIN. THERE\u2019S A FEW SHOWER CHANCES FOR YOUR FRIDAY AFTERNOON. AND THEN ONCE WE GET INTO FRIDAY EVENING, STILL HAVE A FEW SHOWER CHANCES, BUT THE BETTER RAIN CHANCES DON\u2019T COME UNTIL WE GET TO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND. WE HAVE THIS DISTURBANCE THAT\u2019S GOING TO MOVE THROUGH AND ALLOW THAT PERSISTENT SHOWER CHANCE. YOU CAN SEE FOR THE MORNING. IN THE AFTERNOON LOOKING LIKE IT WILL BE SCATTERED. A WIDE SPREAD IN NATURE ACROSS THE AREA. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND. WE KNOW WE GOT A LOT OF EVENTS ARE GOING TO BE HAPPENING. SO JUST MAKE SURE YOU PACK THAT EXTRA PONCHO, THE UMBRELLA, RIGHT? IT\u2019S ALSO GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT COOL TOO. BUT IN THE WAKE OF THIS COLD FRONT, THERE\u2019S A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A FEW SHOWERS. JUST AFTER. ONCE THAT COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH. BUT OVERALL, LOOKING AT WE\u2019LL START TO DRY OUT AS WE HEAD INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND. IN TERMS OF RAIN TOTALS, GETTING UP TO A QUARTER TO A HALF INCH OF SOME RAIN, MAYBE EVEN LOOKING AT MORE THAN A HALF INCH OF SOME RAIN AND SOME ISOLATED AREAS. BUT LOOKING AHEAD INTO THE REST OF THE TEN DAY FORECAST BEYOND MOTHER\u2019S DAY WILL BE 74 DEGREES AND PLEASANT FOR SUNDAY. BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME SHOWERS EARLY MONDAY.
