GOOD MORNING. IT IS 647. I WANTED TO START OUT WITH A TEN DAY FORECAST BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME BIG CHANGES TOWARD THE END OF THE TEN DAY. WE\u2019VE BEEN STUCK IN THE 60S FOR A WHILE NOW, AND THAT WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. BUT LOOK AT FRIDAY. WE HAVE 70, SATURDAY, 78, 84 DEGREES ON SUNDAY. THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, RIGHT? AND CHECK OUT THE SUMMER-LIKE TEMPERATURES EARLY NEXT WEEK. MONDAY AND TUESDAY. WE COULD BE IN THE MID 80S WITH A LITTLE BIT OF STICKINESS. DEW POINTS GET UP INTO THE LOW 60S, SO IT\u2019S GOING TO FEEL SUMMERLIKE EARLY NEXT WEEK. UNTIL THEN, THOUGH, WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOME 60S AND WE HAVE AN IMPACT DAY TOMORROW BECAUSE WE SHOULD SEE SOME SHOWERS, SOME HEAVIER SHOWERS, MAYBE EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS LATE IN THE DAY. I WANT TO TIME OUT TOMORROW FOR YOU. WE START OUT IN THE MORNING WITH A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT RAIN DEVELOPING, ESPECIALLY IN WESTERN COUNTIES. NOTICE THAT STRIP OF LIGHT RAIN MOVES EAST AFTER LUNCHTIME AND REALLY WEAKENS. WE\u2019RE NOT GOING TO GET MUCH RAIN OUT OF IT. I DO THINK WE SEE DRY WEATHER MIDDAY, BUT HERE COMES THE COLD FRONT TOMORROW EVENING. SO AROUND 6:00, 7:00 IN THE EVENING, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE THIS LINE OF HEAVIER RAIN, SOME RUMBLES OF THUNDER AFFECTING WESTERN COUNTIES. THAT INCLUDES ADAMS AND FRANKLIN, PARTS OF MIFFLIN, JUNIATA, PERRY AND CUMBERLAND COUNTIES. AND THEN THAT LINE MOVES EAST AFTER DARK AND WEAKENS A BIT. BUT WE WILL STILL SEE SOME POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN LATE TOMORROW EVENING. SO GOOD NEWS FOR THE DROUGHT THERE TODAY. NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST STARTS OUT WITH ABUNDANT SUNSHINE. WE\u2019RE GOING TO WARM QUICKLY. IT\u2019S COLD RIGHT NOW BUT WE GET TO 50 AT NINE. 68 FOR OUR HIGH AND THEN INCREASING CLOUDS THIS EVENING WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S. TONIGHT, MOSTLY CLOUDY. NOT AS COLD AS THIS MORNING. SO WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK THERE. NO FROST ADVISORIES TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE 50S WITH A SPOTTY SHOWER NORTH TOMORROW. THE IMPACTS ARE LATE IN THE DAY, SO WE GET MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. COUPLE OF SHOWERS LATE MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. AND THEN THAT COLD FRONT COMES IN TOWARD EVENING INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT WITH SOME HEAVIER RAIN. HERE\u2019S YOUR CURRENT. IT\u2019S 36 DEGREES IN LEWISTOWN, MIFFLIN COUNTY UNDER A FROST ADVISORY UNTIL 8 A.M., 40 IN LANCASTER, 41 IN HARRISBURG, 43 IN CHAMBERSBURG, AND GOOD MORNING IN YORK. HANGING IN THERE AT 35 AT THOMASVILLE AIRPORT. ALWAYS ONE OF OUR COLDEST SPOTS IN YORK COUNTY, WEATHER IN HEALTH UPDATE TODAY. TREE POLLEN LEVELS ARE STILL HIGH. AIR QUALITY HAS CHANGED A BIT. IT\u2019S MODERATE AND THE UV INDEX A BURN TIME OF 30 MINUTES TODAY A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY. HERE\u2019S THE STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK. WE ARE DRY. WE ARE CLEAR. HIGH PRESSURE RIGHT ON TOP OF PENNSYLVANIA. THAT IS GOING TO KEEP US HIGH AND DRY TODAY. GIVE YOU THAT WALL TO WALL SUNSHINE. SO THE BIG BLUE H DELIVERING LOTS OF SUN TODAY, TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW. CLOUDS THEY GRADUALLY INCREASE. AND YOU\u2019LL NOTICE THERE\u2019S JUST A LINE OF WEAK SHOWERS THAT COME THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON. AND THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY THOUGH IS TOMORROW EVENING. SO THAT\u2019S WHERE THE IMPACTS LIE, WHERE WE COULD SEE SOME HEAVIER RAIN, WHERE WE COULD SEE SOME RUMBLES OF THUNDER. BUT AT THIS TIME I\u2019M NOT EXPECTING SEVERE WEATHER TOMORROW EVENING AS WE GET INTO THURSDAY, THIS AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CRANKS UP, WINDS UP OVER THE NORTHEAST. THAT\u2019S GOING TO GIVE US COOLER FLOW OUT OF THE NORTH. AGAIN. WE GET THAT COOL NORTHERLY WIND. LOTS OF CLOUDS, MAYBE A SPOTTY SHOWER. IT\u2019S OUR LAST DAY IN THE 60S. ON THURSDAY. PREDICTOR ESTIMATED RAINFALL TOTALS FOR TOMORROW. MOST SPOTS ARE GOING TO PICK UP AROUND A 10TH OF AN INCH TO A QUARTER INCH OF RAIN. THERE COULD BE SOME HIGHER THUNDERSTORM IN THE EVENING. HERE\u2019S THE TEN DAY FORECAST AFTER THE 60S. FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, WE HIT THAT 70 MARK ON FRIDAY. THE WEEKEND LOOKS QUITE A BIT WARMER THAN WHAT WE SAW THIS PAST WEEKEND. AND THEN NEXT WEEK. LIKE I MENTIONED, THE HEAT IS ON EARLY IN THE WEEK, BUT A COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH WITH SOM\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Pleasant Tuesday, showers return Wednesday in south-central Pennsylvania<\/p>\n<p>Scattered showers are in the forecast Wednesday afternoon, and a few thunderstorms are possible toward sunset<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1769026991_958_wgal.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"WGAL logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 7:27 AM EDT May 12, 2026\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wgal.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tA Frost Advisory is in effect for Mifflin and Juniata Counties until 8 a.m. Temperatures will fall to the low-to-mid 30s in these areas.
