Rounds of Storms Continue

It seems like we just can’t get a break from these… April storms? Instead of showers, we’re in store for another day of active weather. We just saw a line of strong storms move across the state on Tuesday, but we’re slated for yet again another potentially severe evening.

Storms should hold off through the afternoon, leaving us with warm and sunny conditions. Storms will move in later this evening and night, bringing the chance for strong winds and heavy downpours. Be weather aware today and be precautious; stay inside and report damage after the storm has moved through.

The wet weather doesn’t stop there however. The chances for rain and storms does not dissipate as we head into the weekend. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all have the potential to create washout conditions, especially Saturday. Heading into next week, those rain chances will still be sticking around.

A Week Bookended by Storminess

/in /by

A line of thunderstorms traversed the Commonwealth on Tuesday, knocking out power to over 500,000 customers. Wind gusts over 60 miles per hour were recorded from the Ohio state line through central Pennsylvania, before the line weakened in the eastern third of the state. Temperatures behind the line dropped over 30 degrees in some spots, as the cold front moved through.

High pressure worked its way into the Commonwealth Wednesday morning, bringing with it mostly clear skies and lower dew points. These dry and calm conditions will be short lived, as another round of storminess is set to impact Pennsylvania to close out the work week.

Showers and likely on Thursday with a chance for some embedded rumbles of thunder. Unsettled weather will persist into Friday and the weekend, becoming less widespread as time goes on. This unsettled stretch will end on Sunday with a return of mostly clear skies continuing into next work week.

Severe Weather on the Way

Rewind the past 24 hours for a look at some beautiful weather. Temperatures soared into the 70s with abundant sunshine, great for outdoor activity. No rain caused pollen levels to be high which triggered allergies for many in Central Pennsylvania.

Unfortunately, the immediate future holds thunder storm chances and a significant wind damage risk. A possible isolated tornado in the Northwest cannot be ruled out as well. Expect rain to begin this afternoon into the evening hours, bringing strong winds and even a risk for hail. Temperatures will remain above 60 for tomorrow as the severe weather moves out of the area.

For the next couple of days expect more thunderstorm chances for Thursday, with a scattered rumble of thunder and lightning possible. Temperatures will rebound to the mid seventies along with the severe weather. Rain chances persist well into Friday before clearing up in time for the weekend.

You can BET May will start WET

This past weekend, showers dissipated early in the day Saturday, but clouds remained throughout the day. Some gusty conditions were present as temperatures dropped off in the evening. Cloud coverage decreased early on Sunday, and abundant sunshine overtook the state.

A chillier beginning to the day today with most of the Commonwealth looking at temperatures in the 40s. But these cooler morning temps will rise later into the afternoon reaching a high of 73 degrees that will fall down to 52 degrees tonight.

Tomorrow, expect some thunderstorms to roll into the area bringing wet conditions, though with temps well above average. Wednesday will be similar to today, with some clear skies and high temps before a rainy and cool weekend ahead.

To begin this past week, a cold front traversed the state on Monday bringing below average temperatures and rainfall. Conditions remained cooler and windy on Tuesday before a warmup Wednesday into Thursday.

For today, rain showers pass through the Commonwealth with chance of thunderstorms overnight. Tomorrow, rain showers continue through the early morning before clearing up in the afternoon. Overcast skies expected before sunshine dominates the region on Sunday.

To begin the workweek, Spring-like conditions continue on Monday, before rain showers return Tuesday afternoon and depart on Wednesday.

Spring is in Full Force!

Temperatures have steadily increased into the 70s during the past couple of days, which is above average for this time of year.  We have also had partly cloudy to mainly sunny skies throughout the week.  Overnight we had clear skies with temperatures in the 40s as we have another warm day on tap.

This afternoon, sunny skies are on the way as a high pressure system continues to take control over the region.  Temperatures will soar into the upper 70s across the state today.  However, conditions look to change tomorrow and into the weekend as we will see an increase in cloud cover and some rain showers due to a low pressure system passing through the state tomorrow night.

The rain showers will clear out by Saturday afternoon, and we will have pleasant conditions for Sunday in the upper 60s.  Next week we will see another rise in temperatures into the 70s and even the 80s.  Mainly sunny skies will the theme for the beginning of the week, but clouds will start to build again during the second part of the week.

Keeping It Springy

Temperatures over the past few days have climbed back up to around average for spring. We saw a few showers pass through the state yesterday, but still kept temperatures above average heading into today. Conditions improved overnight as we were left with just a few clouds and warmth this morning.

Heading into the afternoon, conditions will improve as clouds begin to depart as high pressure will settle over the state. Temperatures will climb into the mid 60’s later today and continue to warm heading into tomorrow afternoon. Over the coming days, we’ll look to reach into the 70’s, but the return of rain is in the works.

Friday evening and night will bring a few showers into the area. By Saturday, those showers will clear out and we’ll be back down in the 60’s for the weekend. Conditions will continue to stay warm heading into the next work week.

Spring has sprung, and the warm has begun.

Hopping into Easter Weekend

This past week we experienced windy and rainy conditions throughout the week. Overcast skies dominated the region while bringing spring like temperatures back to the commonwealth. Wednesday saw temperatures drop below seasonal averages before climbing back up to prepare for the weekend.

High temperatures continue to prevail, however Saturday scattered showers with stronger wind speeds and chance of thunderstorms interrupt this warmer pattern. Rainy Conditions are expected to begin in the mid afternoon and continue overnight before departing for Easter Sunday. Sunday conditions are pleasant, with higher temperatures and decreasing wind speeds.

Early on in the workweek, scattered showers traverse through the commonwealth before more favorable conditions on Wednesday and Thursday. There is a chance of some rainstorms towards the latter end of the workweek and continuing into next weekend.
