<\/p>\nSevere thunderstorm watch issued for much of Pennsylvania<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE. THE EXTREME HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY AT LEAST UNTIL 8:00 TONIGHT. AND THEN WE WILL START TO SEE THESE HEAT ALERTS WIND DOWN AS WE HEAD INTO YOUR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. BUT HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT THE CURRENT TEMPERATURES AND HEAT INDEX. THE AIR TEMPERATURE AND WHITE 98 IN HARRISBURG, 96 IN LANCASTER, 97 ALREADY IN LEBANON. THE COOL SPOT IS 91 IN LEWISTOWN, BUT EVEN THERE IT FEELS LIKE 100 DEGREES. SO EVERYONE ON THIS MAP, INCLUDING YORK, CARLISLE, GETTYSBURG AND CHAMBERSBURG FEELING LIKE YOU\u2019RE OVER 100 AT THE MOMENT, AND THAT\u2019S GOING TO CONTINUE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, PROBABLY UNTIL AT LEAST 6 OR 7:00 TONIGHT, MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE BIT LATER. HERE YOU CAN SEE MAYBE AS LATE AS 10:00 BEFORE WE FEEL LIKE WE\u2019RE BELOW 100. AT THIS POINT, 102 IS EXPECTED TO BE THE HIGH, BUT THOSE FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES. YOU CAN SEE 112, 113 DEFINITELY WILL BE POSSIBLE. AND THE LAST TIME WE HAD A BACK TO BACK HIGH OF 102 IN HARRISBURG, BECAUSE WE DID YESTERDAY. WE\u2019RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE DOING IT AGAIN TODAY. YOU HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1999 FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. SO IT\u2019S NOT OFTEN THAT WE END UP GETTING THIS HEAT FOR THIS LONG. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, OVERNIGHT LOWS NOT HELPING US AT ALL. IN FACT, WE GOT DOWN TO 81 ONLY LAST NIGHT HERE. THAT\u2019S GOING TO BEAT THE OLD RECORD OF 79 FROM 2002. ONCE WE GO THROUGH THE 24 HOUR PERIOD, BECAUSE WE\u2019RE NOT GOING TO DROP BELOW 81 BEFORE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. AND IT WAS ALSO ONE OF THE WARMEST NIGHTS WE HAD ON RECORD. SO FOR THE REST OF THE DAY TODAY, YOU CAN EXPECT SIZZLING SUNSHINE. IF YOU WANT TO HEAD OUT TO THE SAUNA, JUST STEP OUTSIDE. TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, 100 TO 1 ZERO FOUR FOR THOSE HIGHS TONIGHT, DROPPING BACK INTO THE UPPER 70S AND LOW 80S ONCE AGAIN MOSTLY CLEAR. A STRAY THUNDERSTORM WILL BE POSSIBLE NOT ONLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON BUT ALSO EARLY TONIGHT. AND ALSO, BY THE WAY, IF WE DON\u2019T DROP DOWN BELOW 80 DEGREES WILL BE THE FIRST TIME WE\u2019VE HAD BACK TO BACK 80 DEGREE NIGHTS HERE IN THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. WE\u2019VE NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE, SO IT\u2019S A GOOD CHANCE WE\u2019RE GOING TO DO THAT TONIGHT. TOMORROW. MOSTLY SUNNY FEELS LIKE OVER 100 DEGREES ALL DAY. ONCE AGAIN, FEW AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE FOURTH. SO MOTHER NATURE PROVIDING SOME FIREWORKS FOR SOME OF US HERE AS WE GO INTO THE AFTERNOON TOMORROW. BUT RIGHT NOW, STORM TEAM, RADAR NETWORK. IT\u2019S QUIET IN THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. NOT QUITE THOUGH. IN NORTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA THERE IS SOME SHOWERS AND THERE. AS THIS HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN A LITTLE BIT. SO ALL THE STORMS THAT WERE IN NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND LAST COUPLE OF DAYS NOW ARE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A HIGHWAY LANE, SO TO SPEAK, THAT\u2019S GOING TO WORK ITS WAY INTO PENNSYLVANIA AND MAY BRING SOME OF THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS TO US, WHICH WILL HELP COOL US DOWN, BUT IT\u2019S ALSO GOING TO INCREASE THE HUMIDITY IF THEY MOVE ON IN. SO LET\u2019S TIME THIS OUT FOR YOU. 5:00. YOU CAN SEE THOSE STORMS OUT IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. THEY\u2019RE A LITTLE BIT. THIS MODEL WANTS TO KEEP THEM A LITTLE BIT FARTHER TO THE WEST THAN SOME, BUT WE MAY SEE A SPOTTY SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM LATER ON THIS EVENING BECAUSE OF HOW HOT AND HUMID IT IS. WE COULD ALSO BE DEALING WITH A LITTLE BIT OF DAMAGING WINDS. TOMORROW STARTS OFF WARM, HOT, HUMID. THEN THE AFTERNOON YOU CAN SEE SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO FIRE UP HERE ON THE PREDICTOR. AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE HAVE THE DAMAGING WIND THREAT ONCE AGAIN. SO THIS IS FOR TODAY. WE HAVE THAT SLIGHT RISK FOR YOUR FRIDAY. BETWEEN 3 AND 10:00. YOU\u2019RE GOING TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR A POP UP SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM. ONCE AGAIN, NOT A GUARANTEE. IN FACT, MOST OF US PROBABLY AREN\u2019T GOING TO GET ANYTHING. BUT IF YOU HAPPEN TO GET UNDER ONE OF THESE STORMS, THAT\u2019S WHERE YOU COULD SEE THE DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL. AND THEN THE SAME THING TOMORROW. MOST OF THE AREAS UNDER A SLIGHT RISK FOR YOUR SATURDAY FOR DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL. BUT THE STORMS ARE GOING TO BE VERY HIT OR MISS AND LOCATION DEPENDENT. MOST OF YOU PROBABLY WILL NOT GET ANYTHING TOMORROW, BUT IT IS SOMETHING TO WATCH OUT FOR, ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENING. ON SATURDAY, ONCE WE LOOK AT THE TEN DAY FORECAST THOUGH, YOUR BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS THIS WEEKEND WILL BE SUNDAY. THAT\u2019S ALSO WHEN WE\u2019RE GOING TO START SEEING THE CHANGE IN THE PATTERN. WE HAVE A 92 DEGREE HIGH ON SUNDAY, BUT THEN AFTER THAT WE COOL THINGS DOWN MONDAY AND TUESDAY, BACK TO THE 80S. WE WILL HAVE A CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EARLY NEXT WEEK AS WELL, BEFORE WE SEE SOME Q\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
