All-day rain for the Susquehanna Valley<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTRAFFIC REPORT. NOW THE IMPACT A FORECAST FROM THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM. GOOD MORNING. IT IS 647 IMPACTS TODAY ARE FROM THE ALL DAY RAIN WHICH COULD BE MODERATE AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE PA TURNPIKE. SO I\u2019LL SHOW YOU THAT IN JUST A SECOND. BUT TOMORROW LOOKS LIKE WE ARE DRY TO START. THEN WE GET SOME RAIN AND ON SATURDAY THAT\u2019S THE WASHOUT FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. UNFORTUNATELY, RAINY AND COOL. WE COULD CHALLENGE THE RECORD COLD AS HIGH, WHICH IS 54 DEGREES ON SATURDAY. SUNDAY CONDITIONS IMPROVE. IT\u2019S STILL A LITTLE BIT COOL, BUT BY MONDAY THAT\u2019S REALLY MY PICK OF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND FOR YOU. JUST A COUPLE OF SHOWERS AND MILDER TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO 70 DEGREES AFTER MEMORIAL DAY. LOOK AT HOW FAST WE HEAT UP. AT LEAST THE POOLS WILL BE OPEN, RIGHT? WE HAVE TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S HERE TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK AND LOWS BACK IN THE 60S. LET\u2019S BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU TODAY. RIGHT NOW WE\u2019RE SEEING RAIN ARRIVING. IT WASN\u2019T IN LANCASTER OR YORK COUNTY JUST A MINUTE AGO. BUT NOW LOOK AT HOW FAST THAT HAS CHANGED. SO RAIN WILL BE INCREASING. COULD BE MODERATE TO BRIEFLY HEAVY AT TIMES ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE TURNPIKE DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE. AND YOU SEE THAT ON THE PREDICTOR HERE WITH THAT MODERATE RAIN CONTINUING THROUGH 9 A.M. BY THE TIME WE HIT LUNCHTIME, MOST OF THE AREAS JUST SEEING LIGHT RAIN, MAYBE A FEW POPS OF MODERATE RAIN, AND THEN THE RAIN STARTS TO WEAKEN IN INTENSITY AND BACK OUT OF OUR NORTHERNMOST COUNTIES LATER THIS AFTERNOON. SO NOTICE AS WE TREND TOWARD EVENING, IT IS LOOKING A LOT DRIER. DRIER FOR THE DOWNTOWN CARLISLE MILE AND DRIER IN SOUTHERNMOST COUNTIES ALONG THE STATE LINE. BY LATE EVENING. SO HERE\u2019S OUR NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST TODAY. WE WERE IN THE 60S, UPPER 60S EARLIER. NOW WE\u2019RE GOING TO FALL TO THE 50S AND HIT THE BREAKS. SO AS OPPOSED TO THE 90S A FEW DAYS AGO, THIS IS A HUGE CHANGE. 58 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON, LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN AND THEN SHOWERS SOUTH LATER THIS EVENING. TONIGHT, THE RAIN IS OUT OF HERE. WE\u2019LL SEE SOME PATCHY FOG FORMING UP. COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 50S. AND TOMORROW WE START THE DAY ON A DRY NOTE. BUT RAIN STARTS TO RETURN. THE SHOWERS START TO CREEP BACK IN HERE IN THE AFTERNOON AND THE STEADIER RAIN DEVELOPS BY TOMORROW EVENING. TEMPERATURES THEY HANG OUT IN THE 60S. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A PAIR OF FIVES IN SELINSGROVE 62 IN YORK. GOOD MORNING LANCASTER. HANGING IN THERE AT 59 DEGREES WHILE IT\u2019S 61 IN LEBANON. THE GOOD NEWS IS THE RAIN DID HELP US OUT IN THE POLLEN DEPARTMENT. MODERATE POLLEN. TODAY, AIR QUALITY ALSO REFRESHED. THAT IS GOOD. AND OUR UV INDEX IS A LOT LOWER TODAY WITH THE CLOUDS AND THE RAIN. SO HERE\u2019S THE STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK. AND LOOK AT HOW FAR SOUTH THIS RAIN STRETCHES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE SOUTHEAST. SO WE HAVE A LOT OF RAIN TO GET THROUGH OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS LEADING UP INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. TODAY FRONT IS TO OUR SOUTH. WE HAVE THIS WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE RIDING ALONG THE FRONT, KEEPING THE RAIN IN OUR FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON, BUT IT DOES TAPER TOWARD EVENING. TOMORROW IT\u2019S DRY TO START, BUT I DO SEE THAT RAIN COMING BACK. SOME SHOWERS IN THE AFTERNOON, AND THEN WE GENERATE THE STEADIER RAIN BY TOMORROW EVENING. SATURDAY. THAT\u2019S THE WASHOUT DAY. LOOK AT THIS. AHEAD OF A WARM FRONT. WE HAVE RAIN NEARLY ALL DAY LONG. IT COULD BE MODERATE AT TIMES. WE COULD PICK UP BETWEEN 1 TO 2IN OF MUCH NEEDED RAIN. THAT\u2019S THE GOOD NEWS OUT OF ALL OF THIS. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. SO HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT OUR ESTIMATED RAINFALL TOTALS. AND FROM ANYTHING THAT FALLS TODAY, TOMORROW AND SATURDAY THAT COULD AMOUNT TO 1 TO 2IN ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT OUR TEN DAY FORECAST AGAIN AFTER MEMORIAL DAY. WE DO HEAT IT UP ALL THE WAY BACK INTO THE 80S WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 60S. BUT UNTIL THEN, TEMPERATURES WILL REMAI\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
