The next work week starts cool, but ends on a warmer note.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEXPECTED TO TAKE 3 TO 5 YEARS TO FULLY DEVELOP. NOW, THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST, WITH METEOROLOGIST RYAN ARGENTI. WE\u2019RE TRACKING SOME MORE SHOWERS AS WE HEAD INTO OUR MOTHER\u2019S DAY. ACTUALLY, WE MAY HEAR A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER IN SOME OF THOSE SHOWER CHANCES, BUT IT\u2019S GOING TO BE WARM AS WE HEAD INTO THE AS WE HEAD INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND, THE COOL STRETCH RETURNS FOR NEXT WEEK, BUT THEN HEADING INTO THE NEXT WEEKEND, WE ARE SEEING A TREND IN TERMS OF THE TEMPERATURES WE\u2019RE GOING UP IN. THOSE TEMPERATURES COULD BE SEEING UPPER 70S MAY EVEN SEE THE LOWER 80S AS WE HEAD INTO THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND AND ALSO INTO THE FOLLOWING WEEK, WHICH YOU\u2019LL SEE THAT HERE IN THE TEN DAY FORECAST IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. BUT WE HIT A WE HIT A HIGH OF 61 TODAY AT HARRISBURG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. USUALLY WE EXPECT ABOUT 72 DEGREES, SO A LITTLE BIT BELOW AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. BUT IN TERMS OF OVERNIGHT LOWS HIT 51 DEGREES EARLIER THIS MORNING. AND THAT\u2019S RIGHT AROUND PAR FOR WHAT WE EXPECT FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. IN MAY ONLY HAD ABOUT 12 HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH RECORDED AT HARRISBURG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS, HAD JUST UNDER A HALF INCH OF SOME RAIN IN LEWISTOWN, MIFFLINTOWN 0.35IN, 0.29IN IN NEW BUFFALO JOLLYTOWN 0.25IN. SO RIGHT AROUND THAT QUARTER INCH MARK. AND THEN LEBANON COUNTY IN FORT INDIANTOWN GAP, JUST SHY OF THAT QUARTER INCH MARK. ABOUT 0.23IN OF RAIN. SO AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD, PARTLY TO MAINLY CLEAR. CONDITIONS, WE\u2019LL SEE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. BUT I WILL MAKE A MENTION. WE ARE LOOKING AT THE CHANCE OF SEEING SOME PATCHY FOG OVERNIGHT. WE HAVE LIGHT WINDS, MAINLY CLEAR SKIES, AND THAT REALLY HELPS THE THE, FOR THE THE FOR THE CHANCE OF FOG TO BE REALLY BE ABLE TO DEVELOP. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP DOWN TO THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S. AND THEN FOR TOMORROW MORNING, MOSTLY SUNNY. THEN WE\u2019LL START TO SEE THE CLOUDS INCREASE HEADING INTO THE LATE MORNING HOURS AND INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THAT\u2019S JUST AHEAD OF A SYSTEM THAT\u2019S GOING TO START TO PUSH THROUGH, OR I SHOULD SAY, JUST AHEAD OF A FRONT THAT\u2019S GOING TO ALLOW FOR SOME AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE RUMBLES OF THUNDER. MAY MAY SEE SOME THUNDER SHOWERS FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON. BUT NOTICE THE TEMPERATURES GETTING INTO THE LOWER 70S FOR TOMORROW. SO FOR YOUR MOTHER\u2019S DAY, PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY RIGHT AROUND THE MID 50S. THEN WE\u2019LL SEE INCREASING CLOUDS FOR THE EARLY AFTERNOON PERIOD AND THEN TOPPING OUT RIGHT AROUND 72 DEGREES FOR THE AFTERNOON FOR MOTHER\u2019S DAY. SO IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO HAVE ANY, IF YOU HAVE ANY PLANS, A HAT, IF YOU HAVE ANY PLANS FOR YOUR MOTHER\u2019S DAY, EXCUSE ME, IT\u2019S LOOKING GOOD FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY. JUST MAKE SURE YOU KEEP AN UMBRELLA ON YOU, OR JUST A PONCHO WITH YOU JUST TO ACCOUNT FOR SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS LATER IN THE AFTERNOON TOMORROW. BUT IN TERMS OF THE WEATHER AND HEALTH FOR THE DAY TOMORROW, TREES AND GRASS POLLEN LEVELS WILL BE HIGH. LOW MOLD LEVELS AND MODERATE AIR QUALITY. WE HAVE A MODERATE UV INDEX, GOT ABOUT A 35 MINUTE BURN TIME, AND THESE RAIN CHANCES, THE NEXT BEST CHANCE OR CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL BE TOMORROW AND ALSO OUR MONDAY. BUT THESE SHOWERS WILL BE VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING FOR YOUR MONDAY AND FOR TUESDAY. LOOKS LIKE WE\u2019LL BE DRYING OUT AND ANOTHER CHANCE OF SOME SHOWERS FOR YOUR WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES INTO THE 50S WERE 53 IN THE CAPITAL, 54 IN LEBANON, 49 IN THE WHITE ROSE CITY AT THIS TIME. BUT SO FAR, VISIBILITY, NOT SEEING TOO MUCH OF AN IMPACT IN TOO MANY AREAS. BUT WE WILL EVENTUALLY SEE THAT FOG BEGIN TO DEVELOP. YOU CAN SEE SOME COMMUNITIES GETTING DOWN TO ALMOST THAT ZERO MILE RANGE IN TERMS OF VISIBILITY. OTHER AREAS NOT SO BAD, BUT JUST KEEP AN EYE OUT. WE\u2019LL BE SEEING SOME PATCHY FOG OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. SO FOR STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK, ALL IS QUIET LOCALLY. ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS LINE OF SOME SHOWERS. THEY WERE STORMS EARLIER, BUT YOU CAN SEE AS THEY CONTINUE TO MAKE THEIR WAY FROM THE NORTHWEST AND DOWN TO THE SOUTHEAST, THEY\u2019RE STARTING TO WEAKEN. SO I DO EXPECT TO SEE A POSSIBLE SIDE SWIPE IS WHAT I LIKE TO CALL IT, OF SOME SHOWERS FOR OUR FAR NORTHWESTERN COMMUNITIES. BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE AREA LOOKING DRY OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, BUT NOT SO DRY AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW AFTERNOON. YOU CAN SEE THIS NEXT FRONT THAT STARTS TO PUSH THROUGH. THAT\u2019S GOING TO ALLOW FOR THAT NEXT CHANCE OF A FEW SHOWERS AND A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER. BUT THEN AS THAT COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH IN ITS WAKE, SEEING SOME PARTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS FOR YOUR MONDAY, AND THEN, AS YOU CAN SEE, WILL BEGIN TO CLOUD BACK UP FOR OUR MONDAY EVENING. BUT LOOK AT THIS 8 TO 14 DAY TEMPERATURE OUTLOOK LOOKING ABOVE AVERAGE. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT\u2019S REFLECTED IN OUR TEN DAY FORECAST HERE. TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BIT COOL FOR THE WORKWEEK. A CHANCE OF SOME SHOWERS THROUGH THE MAJORITY OF THE WEEK. BUT LOOKING AHEAD INTO NEXT WEEKEND. 76 SATURDAY, 80 DEGREES\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Mainly clear &amp; cool overnight; few PM showers on Mother\u2019s Day for south-central Pennsylvania<\/p>\n<p>Mother&#8217;s Day will start off on a pleasant &amp; sunnier note before a few afternoon showers &amp; thundershowers start to move in.
