\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWGAL NEWS EIGHT. NOW THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST WITH METEOROLOGIST RYAN MARCIANTE. LOOKING LIVE FROM STORM TRACKER EIGHT. ONCE MORE YOU CAN SEE. STILL LOOKING AT SOME DRY CONDITIONS ON THE ROADWAYS. LOOKING UP YOU CAN SEE SEEING SOME MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS. AS YOU CAN SEE THE CAMERA PANNING UPWARDS THERE. MAINLY CLOUDY IS WHAT WE\u2019RE SEEING AT THIS TIME, BUT THE SHOWERS HAVE NOT ARRIVED AS WE AS WE HEAD INTO, AS WE HEAD INTO LATER THIS AFTERNOON. THIS IS A LIVE PICTURE FROM CARLISLE, BY THE WAY, FROM STORM TRACKER EIGHT. BUT LET ME SHOW YOU WHERE SOME OF THE SPOTTY SHOWERS HAVE MOVED IN ON WITH STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK. SOME LIGHT SHOWERS ARE MOVING IN FROM YORK COUNTY INTO SOUTHERN LANCASTER COUNTY THROUGH LANCASTER COUNTY. AT THIS TIME YOU CAN SEE OFF TOWARDS THE WEST. THAT\u2019S WHERE WE\u2019RE STARTING TO SEE SOME OF THAT, THAT WIDER SWATH OF SHOWERS THERE BEGINNING TO START TO MOVE IN. ONCE WE GET INTO LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND THE EVENING. SO A QUICK LOOK INTO YOUR TEN DAY FORECAST IMPACT DAY SET FOR YOUR SATURDAY FOR RAINY AND COOL CONDITIONS FOR ALL DAY. SATURDAY IS LOOKING LIKE IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A WASHOUT. SCATTERED MORNING SHOWERS FOR SUNDAY, MEMORIAL DAY ITSELF A FEW SHOWERS, BUT WE\u2019RE WARMING UP TO THE 70S, THOUGH. 70 DEGREES FOR MONDAY 78. FEELING SEASONABLE FOR TUESDAY. THEN WE\u2019LL START TO CLEAR UP AS WE HEAD INTO LATER ON IN THE WORKWEEK, WHICH WILL WILL REVIEW THAT ONE MORE TIME ONCE WE GET THERE IN JUST A FEW MORE MINUTES. BUT FOR TODAY, CLOUDY SKIES SHOWERS WILL WILL THEN TURN TO RAIN LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. STILL REMAINING COOL TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOWER 60S. THEN HERE COMES TONIGHT. WE MADE TONIGHT AS AN IMPACT NIGHT BECAUSE THE RAIN IS GOING TO BE BECOMING WIDESPREAD. 48 TO 52 DEGREES WILL BE DAMP AND COOL. SO WHAT I WOULD DO IF YOU IF YOU CAN, IF YOU HAVE THAT TIME, TRY AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE DRY TIME RIGHT NOW TO TRAVEL TO YOUR FAMILY\u2019S HOUSE. IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE GOING TO FAMILY FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, SHOULD SHOULD BE DECENT DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR THE DRY TIMES. BUT ONCE WE GET TO TONIGHT AND ALSO INTO TOMORROW, THAT\u2019S WHERE WE\u2019RE GOING TO SEE THOSE REALLY RAINY CONDITIONS, WIDESPREAD RAIN HAPPENING. AND IT\u2019S GOING TO BE WE\u2019LL BE SEEING THAT RAIN TAPER LATE, BUT SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE\u2019RE KEEPING AN EYE ON IS THIS RECORD LOW TEMPERATURE HERE IS 54 DEGREES. THIS IS THE RECORD TEMPERATURE, THE RECORD LOWEST HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR THE AFTERNOON. YOU CAN SEE WE\u2019RE FORECASTING 52 TO 56 DEGREES FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON. SO IMPACT DAY FOR SATURDAY. STEADY TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOW 50S 20 TO 25 DEGREES COOLER THAN AVERAGE COULD POSSIBLY REACH THAT RECORD COLD HIGH OF 54 DEGREES, WHICH IS SET BACK IN 1982. LOOKING ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF TO 2.5IN OF RAIN AS WE HEAD INTO OUR SUNDAY SO YOU CAN SEE EVENING RAIN DEVELOPING TODAY, TOMORROW. RAIN ALL DAY, RAIN EARLY FOR SUNDAY AND A FEW SHOWER CHANCES FOR OUR MONDAY. AND WE\u2019RE STILL BELOW AVERAGE FOR THE MONTH. TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW INTO THE LOWER 60S, BUT WE\u2019RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES DROP ONCE WE HEAD INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND. HERE COMES THAT WIDER SWATH OF SHOWERS STARTING TO CLOSE IN ON THE COMMONWEALTH, STARTING TO MOVE IN FROM WEST VIRGINIA MOVING NORTHEAST. AND THAT WILL BECOME THE WILL. THEY\u2019LL BECOME SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD BY THE TIME WE GET TO 6:00, 7:00 THIS EVENING. ONCE WE GET TO TONIGHT, THAT\u2019S WHEN WE\u2019LL START TO SEE THE MODERATE RAINFALL RATES REALLY START TO MOVE IN. WHY WE HAVE IT AS AN IMPACT NIGHT, AND ALSO GETTING INTO SATURDAY MORNING BECOMES WIDESPREAD. LAST ALL DAY FOR SATURDAY. AND ONCE WE GET INTO OUR SUNDAY, STILL SEEING SOME SHOWERS FOR THE MORNING. BUT NOTICE, AS THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM STARTS TO SCOOCH BY TO THE EAST, LOOKING AT SOME DRIER CONDITIONS FOR THE EVENING. SO THAT\u2019S WHAT WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE LOOKING FORWARD TO AS WE HEAD INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY ON SUNDAY. NOW, MEMORIAL DAY ITSELF, LIKE I MENTIONED, A FEW SHOWER CHANCES, SEASONABLE 78 DEGREES FOR YOUR TUESDAY. GETTING WARMER AS WE HEAD INTO WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, LOOKING A LITTL\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
