South-central Pennsylvania forecast calls for widespread rain on Saturday<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNOW, THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST CHRISTINE FERREIRA. GOOD MORNING. IT IS 644. HERE\u2019S THE STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK. WE ARE STILL TRACKING SOME SHOWERS FROM OVERNIGHT. THEY\u2019RE WINDING DOWN. THEY\u2019RE DISSIPATING, WEAKENING A LITTLE BIT. BUT WE STILL HAVE ONE LITTLE HEAVY SHOWER RIGHT BETWEEN YORK COUNTY AND ADAMS COUNTY THAT STRETCHES FROM THE CITY OF YORK BACK TOWARDS SPRING GROVE, JUST SOUTH OF HANOVER AND RIGHT OVER LITTLESTOWN. SO WE\u2019LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THESE SHOWERS, BUT MOST OF THEM SHOULD BE GONE BY 8 A.M. AND THEN WE\u2019RE DRY. THE REST OF THE DAY. WE HAVE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH SOME PEEKS OF SUN NOT SO DRY TOMORROW MORNING AT THIS TIME. SO HERE WE ARE AT 6 A.M. SATURDAY. AND LOOK AT THIS. WIDESPREAD RAIN IS MOVING IN. SO THIS IS A GOOD STEADY SOAKING FOR US THROUGHOUT THE MORNING HOURS. THIS IS 10 A.M. HERE WE ARE AT LUNCHTIME TOMORROW AND THEN NOTICE AFTER LUNCHTIME THE RAIN TAPERS TO SHOWERS AND IT\u2019S DRIER THE SO IF YOU HAVE THOSE AFTERNOON EVENING PLANS, IT WON\u2019T BE AS WET AS IT WILL BE IN THE MORNING. SO I THINK WE CAN SALVAGE SOME DRY TIME TOMORROW. THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY THOUGH, IS LOOKING WET AND HOW MUCH RAIN CAN YOU EXPECT? I\u2019D SAY AROUND A HALF INCH TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH. FOR MOST OF US, THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE A NICE SOAKING. EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED TO START THE WEEKEND BEFORE THAT HEAT SETS IN NEXT WEEK. SO HERE\u2019S THE NEWS. EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST FOR TODAY. WE HAVE OUR MORNING SHOWERS ENDING A LITTLE DAMP, A LITTLE MUGGY OUTSIDE FOR THE AFTERNOON. OUR HIGH IS 84 WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND A FEW PEEKS OF SUN. CLOUDS LINGER THIS EVENING. IT WILL BE STICKY TONIGHT. MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH RAIN DEVELOPING AGAIN IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. TEMPERATURES BOTTOM OUT IN THE UPPER 60S. AND THEN TOMORROW WE HAVE THAT RAIN THAT WILL IMPACT YOU IN THE MORNING, BUT IT WILL BE DRIER BY EVENING, WARM AND HUMID. OUR HIGHS GET STUCK IN THE 70S TOMORROW, BUT REBOUND TO THE MID 80S ON SUNDAY. HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT THE TEMPERATURES 66 IN LEBANON, 67 DEGREES IN YORK. AND WE HAVE 68 IN LANCASTER. TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW HOLDING STEADY IN THE 60S AS WELL AS OUR DEW POINTS. SO THAT\u2019S WHAT GIVES IT THE MUGGY FEEL OUTSIDE. DEFINITELY MORE HUMID THAN WHAT WE HAD YESTERDAY. WEATHER IN HEALTH CHECK TODAY. OUR POLLEN LEVELS ARE LOW. MOLD SPORES REMAIN MODERATE, AND THE UV INDEX. THIS IS A CHANGE. IT\u2019S LOW WITH ALL THE CLOUDS. WE\u2019RE EXPECTING A BURN TIME OF ABOUT 55 MINUTES. SO LAST FEW SHOWERS STARTING TO WIND DOWN FROM OVERNIGHT. THE BACK EDGE OF THEM ALREADY MOVING THROUGH WESTERN COUNTIES. STILL EXPECTING A LITTLE LIGHT RAIN THROUGH PARTS OF LEBANON, DAUPHIN, YORK, LANCASTER COUNTY. OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. AFTER THAT, WE\u2019RE DRY THE REST OF THE DAY, AND THEN WE TURN OUR EYES TO LOW PRESSURE, WHICH IS OUT IN THE MIDWEST. THAT\u2019S GOING TO KICK UP THE RAIN TOMORROW MORNING. SO WATCH ON THE PREDICTOR. YOU CAN SEE THE REST OF THE DAY IS QUIET. THIS BOUNDARY LINGERS RIGHT OVERHEAD, PROVIDING THE FOCUS FOR THAT RAIN TOMORROW MORNING. LOW PRESSURE COMES IN, GIVES US A NICE STEADY SOAKING IN THE MORNING. SHOWERS TAPER IN THE AFTERNOON AND IT\u2019S DRIER BY EVENING. HERE COMES HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FOR THE SECOND HALF OF YOUR WEEKEND. THAT CLEARS THE SKY ON SUNDAY. AND ASIDE FROM A STRAY SHOWER, I THINK IT\u2019S GOING TO BE DRY AND PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY. TOLERABLE HUMIDITY. DEW POINTS IN THE MID 60S WITH A HIGH OF 86, BUT NOT SO TOLERABLE NEXT WEEK. LOOK AT THESE IMPACT DAYS NEXT WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE THE PEAK OF THE HEAT. EASY MID 90S FOR US WITH THE HEAT INDEX OVER 100. NOW WE SEE A HEAT INDEX OVER 105 DEGREES. THAT GIVES US AN EXTREME HEAT WARNING. WE\u2019LL KEEP YOU UPDATED AS THOSE IMPACTS CONTINUE. NOW AT THE END OF THE WEEK FOR THE 4TH OF JULY INTO THE WEEKEND, THE HEAT BREAKS DOWN. SO WE AREN\u2019T GOING TO SEE AS INTENSE HEAT OR\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
