Impact Night: Rounds Of Rain, Few Strong Storms Possible
Expect showers and thunderstorms to return to the Valley late this evening and be possibly throughout Thursday night. There is a low chance a few storms could become severe with gusty winds being the primary concern.
GIFT CARD DONATIONS. ROUNDS OF RAIN ARE LIKELY THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT. THAT COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES AND WE HAVE TO WATCH. WE ALSO HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR THE LOW POTENTIAL. WE COULD SEE AN ISOLATED STRONG THUNDERSTORM. SO THAT’S WHY TONIGHT IS AN IMPACT NIGHT. WE’LL KEEP THE CHANCES FOR ROUNDS OF RAIN AROUND FOR OUR FRIDAY. AND ALSO DURING YOUR SATURDAY AND YOUR SUNDAY. THEN WE DRY BACK OUT. BUT TEMPERATURES REALLY TAKE A TUMBLE EARLY NEXT WEEK. OVERALL THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THE NIGHT. TONIGHT IS VERY LOW. JUST MAY SEE SOME STRONG STORMS WITH SOME DAMAGING WINDS AND SOME HEAVY RAIN. THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF SPIN IN THE ATMOSPHERE. IF WE CAN GET THESE THUNDERSTORMS GOING. SO BRIEF. TORNADO NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION, BUT IT IS A NEAR ZERO THREAT. BEST CHANCE WILL BE RIGHT ALONG THE MARYLAND LINE. NOW. WE DO HAVE LOTS OF CLOUDS OUT THERE. WE’RE STARTING TO SEE THE RAIN APPROACH THE VALLEY OFF TO OUR WEST. SEE THAT STEADY RAIN COMING DOWN AT A DECENT CLIP FROM PITTSBURGH TO WASHINGTON, PENNSYLVANIA. ALL THAT’S GOING TO WORK ITS WAY TO THE EAST. YOU CAN SEE HOW IT EXTENDS ALL THE WAY BACK ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY, WHERE WE DO HAVE ACTIVE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS IN EFFECT. AND WE’VE HAD SOME REPORTED SEVERE WEATHER, SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EARLIER THIS EVENING. SO ALL OF THIS STORM ENERGY AND MOISTURE IS PUSHING ITS WAY TO THE EAST. BE PREPARED TO HEAR THE RAIN COME DOWN HEAVY AT TIMES THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES STILL QUITE WARM. THEY’LL BOTTOM OUT IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S. NOW THE RAIN WILL TAPER OFF, BUT WE’LL STILL HAVE SOME PASSING SHOWERS FOR YOUR MORNING COMMUTE. AND THEN EVENTUALLY WE DRY OUT BY MIDDAY AND THEN SOME SPOTTY SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND HIGHS WILL BE COOLER THAN TODAY, BUT STILL WARMER THAN AVERAGE. WE’LL TOP OFF IN THE LOW TO MID 60S, SO HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES AND BEST CHANCE TO SEE AN ISOLATED STRONG SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WILL BE OVERNIGHT TO ROUGHLY ABOUT 6 A.M., BUT WE SHOULD BE DRYING BACK OUT BY THE TIME WE GET TO LUNCHTIME TOMORROW. POLLEN COUNT REMAINS QUITE HIGH. IT’S THE TREE POLLEN THAT’S CAUSING THE ISSUES AND THE MOLD LEVELS HAVE RISEN. AIR QUALITY WILL ALSO BE AT A MODERATE LEVEL TOMORROW. NOW THE PIRATES HAVE THE HOME OPENER TOMORROW. WEATHER SHOULD BE DRY FOR THE PIRATES AS THEY TAKE ON THE YANKEES. TEMPERATURES RIGHT AROUND 60 DEGREES AT FIRST PITCH. IT WAS A WARM DAY TODAY. MADE IT ALL THE WAY UP TO 74 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT. START THE DAY OFF AT 45. AND IT’S STILL INCREDIBLY WARM AND ALSO STICKY OUT THERE. 71 IN HARRISBURG. DEW POINT RIGHT NOW, 61 DEGREES. THAT AIR IS SOUPY FOR EARLY APRIL. STILL 72 AT THIS HOUR IN LANCASTER. 73. IF YOU’RE JOINING US FROM CARLISLE, WE HAVE COOLER AIR OFF TO OUR WEST AND TO THE NORTHWEST. AND LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE IN DEW POINTS. 61 RIGHT NOW IN HARRISBURG. BUT BACK TO JUST 41 IN ERIE. SO THERE IS DRIER AIR NOT TOO FAR OFF IN THE DISTANCE, BUT IT’S GOING TO TAKE ITS TIME GETTING HERE. SO NOTICE HERE ON THE PREDICTOR ROUNDS OF SHOWERS, ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE NIGHT. THEY’LL TAPER BACK TO JUST SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AS WE GO THROUGH THE MORNING COMMUTE. AND THEN WE COULD SEE A SPOTTY SHOWER LATE TOMORROW EVENING. THEN OUR NEXT STORM MOVES ON IN FOR YOUR SATURDAY. BEST CHANCE FOR SOME SPOTTY SHOWERS ON SATURDAY WILL BE NORTH AND NORTHWEST OF I 81. WE’LL HAVE BETTER CHANCES, MORE ROBUST CHANCES FOR SOME PASSING SHOWERS AS WE GO ON INTO SUNDAY. IT’S THAT COLD FRONT AND EVENTUALLY THAT DRIER AIR FINALLY STARTS TO MOVE ON IN ACROSS THE REGION. BUT NOT UNTIL MONDAY. SO BE PREPARED FOR ROUNDS OF SHOWERS FOR YOUR FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND YOUR SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY WILL BE IN THE 60S EARLY IN THE DAY. THEN WE DO EXPECT THE TEMPERATURES TO FALL AS WE GO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AND THEN HERE COMES A LATE WINTER CHILL AGAIN. WE’RE DRYING BACK OUT FOR MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, BUT TUESDAY LOOKS TO BE THE COLDEST DAY OF THE NEXT TEN, WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE MID 40S. WE’RE CLOSER TO 60 DEGREES AS WE APPROACH NEX
