A Week Bookended by Storminess

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.
