Mostly cloudy and remaining mild today, rain looks less impressive for the weekend

Next week looks chilly, blustery, and not all that Spring-like…

TODAY: Mostly Cloudy, Mild. Hi 65.

TONIGHT: Mostly Cloudy, Passing Showers. Lo 53.

SATURDAY: Cloudy, Cooler, Passing Shower. Hi 58. Winds: SE 10-15 mph. Gusts to 25 mph.

After a chilly start, temperatures finally warmed into the 70s late yesterday, making for a pleasant, mild evening across Central PA. The mild air combined with a cold front sagging south across the region to create heavy rain and thunderstorms overnight. These storms will exit the region before dawn, and the rest of today should be dry, featuring mostly cloudy skies and highs in the mid-60s this afternoon. A few passing showers will be around tonight as temperatures remain in the 50s. What about the weekend?

The weekend itself is trending just a bit drier. Tomorrow will feature cloudy skies and just a passing shower here and there. It certainly won’t be a washout. It will be a bit cooler and more breezy than today, with highs in the upper 50s. More showers develop Saturday night into Sunday morning. This period may bring the steadiest rain of the weekend. There will be more breaks in the rain from mid-morning Sunday through the evening. One last burst of steady rain appears likely overnight Sunday before conditions dry out next week.

Speaking of next week, prepare for a big change with cooler and blustery conditions returning. Highs next Tuesday and Wednesday will only reach the upper 40s, and the winds will make it feel even more unpleasant. There are no more 60° or 70° days in the extended forecast. Bundle up!
