Isolated showers today; rain to showers Saturday in south-central Pennsylvania<\/p>\n

Highs will stay in the 60s for the next 2 days, then warm to the 70s on Mother’s Day<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWILL HAVE ANY WEATHER CANCELLATIONS. NOW, THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST, WITH METEOROLOGIST RYAN ARGENTINE. AND SPEAKING OF THAT WEATHER FORECAST THE HEADLINES AS WE HEADED TO THE REST OF THE DAY TODAY. BREEZY AND COOL FOR THE AFTERNOON, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT THE CHANCE OF SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS LATER ON AND THEN HEADING INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND, IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A BIT OF A WET SATURDAY OR A DAMP SATURDAY. WE DO HAVE AN IMPACT DAY SET FOR SATURDAY FOR THOSE MORNING RAIN CHANCES AND THEN TAPERING TO AFTERNOON SHOWERS. WE\u2019LL CHAT ABOUT THAT HERE IN JUST A SECOND. ABOUT THE THE DETAILS AND THEN THE BRIGHT START TO OUR MOTHER\u2019S DAY WILL HAVE HIGHS INTO THE 70S, BUT WE COULD BE SEEING A FEW AFTERNOON EVENING SHOWERS ON TAP. SO TIMING NOW FOR TODAY. A COUPLE ISOLATED SHOWERS MOVING THROUGH, BUT THE BETTER CHANCES DON\u2019T COME UNTIL LATER ON IN THE AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY HEADING INTO TONIGHT AT AROUND 11 12:00 AT NIGHT. TONIGHT. THAT\u2019S WHEN WE\u2019LL START TO SEE SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS BEGIN TO MOVE IN AHEAD OF THAT SYSTEM THAT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH ON SATURDAY. SO FOR TODAY, CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE, ISOLATED SHOWER CHANCES. AND IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A BIT BREEZY. IT\u2019S COOL AND BREEZY TODAY. WE\u2019LL HAVE TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID 60S. THEN WE\u2019LL LOWER DOWN TO THE LOWER 60S. WE\u2019LL HAVE THOSE WINDS DIMINISH. SEEING A FEW OF THOSE SHOWER CHANCES START TO ROLL IN. AND THEN WE\u2019LL HAVE CLOUDY SKIES OVERNIGHT TONIGHT WITH THOSE RAIN CHANCES COMING IN LATE LIKE I SHOWED YOU ON PREDICTOR. BUT IN TERMS OF OUR IMPACT DAY SATURDAY, WHAT WE\u2019RE EXPECTING IS LIGHT MORNING RAIN TAPERING TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON SHOWERS. THERE IS A CHANCE OF AN ISOLATED THUNDER SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM, BUT OVERALL THAT CHANCE IS LOOKING LOW. BUT IT\u2019S STILL ONE OF THE FACTOR IN THAT ISOLATED CHANCE. BUT THE PROS HERE IS THAT IT\u2019S BENEFICIAL. RAIN FOR THE DROUGHT FOR THE FLOWERS, GARDENS, CROPS. BUT THE CONS HERE IS THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF WE HAVE A LOT OF EVENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND. IT\u2019S IT\u2019S MAINLY SATURDAY WHERE WE\u2019LL BE SEEING A LOT OF COLLEGE GRADUATION CEREMONIES HAPPENING, PARENTS TAKING PICTURES FOR THEIR KIDS AS THEY GRADUATE AND WHATNOT. AND THEN THE MOTHER\u2019S DAY TRUCK CONVOY. THAT\u2019S ALSO GOING TO BE HAPPENING. AND IT\u2019S LOOKING LIKE IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A WET MORNING, FOLKS. SO JUST PREPARE FOR THAT. GRAB AN EXTRA PONCHO, AN UMBRELLA, JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WE HEAD INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND. NOW FOR TODAY, POLLEN LEVELS ARE MODERATE. UV INDEX IS MODERATE. ONLY HAVE ABOUT A 40 MINUTE BURN TIME. TEMPERATURES ARE INTO THE 60S RIGHT NOW, UPPER 50S TOWARDS OUR NORTHWESTERN COMMUNITIES. ALREADY STARTING TO SEE SOME OF THOSE ISOLATED SHOWER CHANCES BEGINNING TO PUSH IN. BUT THERE\u2019S MORE OF THOSE SHOWERS THAT ARE GOING TO START TO MOVE THROUGH, STARTING TO COME OUT OF THE OHIO, OHIO RIVER VALLEY. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT MAIN SWATH OF SHOWERS BEGINNING TO PUSH IN AS WE HEAD INTO OUR DAY SATURDAY. YOU CAN SEE THIS IS 7:00 IN THE MORNING. PAY ATTENTION TO THE TIME STAMP. THIS IS WHEN WE\u2019LL START TO SEE THAT WARM FRONT START TO PUSH THROUGH. AND THEN ONCE THAT COMES THROUGH, YOU CAN SEE THAT COLD FRONT ALSO STARTS TO PUSH INTO THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. AND THAT\u2019S WHAT\u2019S GOING TO BE ALLOWING FOR THOSE SCATTERED SHOWER CHANCES. NOW YOU CAN SEE THEY BECOME A LITTLE BIT LESS IN COVERAGE LATER ON IN THE AFTERNOON AND THE EVENING AS THAT COLD FRONT STARTS TO PASS THROUGH THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND, THOUGH SHAPING UP TO BE DRIER, ALSO SUNNIER. BUT THEN AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING, WE ARE LOOKING AT A FEW MORE OF THOSE SHOWER CHANCES. BUT THEN AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK, SHOWERS ARE ON TAP EARLY FOR MONDAY. COOL FOR YOUR TUESDAY. CHANCE OF SHOWERS WED\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
