Finally a pleasant and dry day ahead before more showers and storms return tomorrow
TONIGHT: Partly Cloudy. Lo 54.
THURSDAY: Scattered PM Showers & T-Storms. Hi 74.
Another round of downpours and thunderstorms moved through the region yesterday afternoon and evening, thanks to an upper low that finally pulled away overnight. Yesterday's official rain total was over 1″ at Harrisburg International Airport, bringing the monthly total (so far) to 2.07″, which is over an inch above normal for May. The ongoing drought isn't magically gone, but this month has greatly helped.
Today will bring pleasant and dry weather to Central PA with highs in the 70s this afternoon. While the rain was needed locally, it will be nice to spend some time outdoors without the threat of rain or storms. That won't last long, however, as another trough looks to set up across the Northeast for the end of the week. Showers and thunderstorms return tomorrow afternoon and evening after a sunny start. Periods of rain linger through Friday with a cool day on tap. Friday's highs will be stuck in the lower 60s. The good news? The trough lifts out by Mother's Day weekend!
Saturday will bring clearing skies and a pleasant afternoon with highs near 70°. Mother's Day looks to be one of the nicest days this week with mostly sunny skies and highs in the lower 70s. Can we finally get the nicest weather of the week to arrive for the weekend? It sure seems like it this time! We'll keep you posted on the trends! Enjoy today's dry weather! Get outside!
