Wx Shield

Good morning and happy Thursday! Today a cold front will arrive to Central PA.

This morning we start off partly cloudy with a little fog. Temperatures will be in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Winds will be light from the southwest.

This afternoon temperatures will reach the upper 70s to lower 80s. We will have a mix of clouds and sunshine. As the afternoon wears on, there could be storms that start to fire up. Not everyone will see a storm, but those who do, it could contain gusty winds, hail, and downpours. Right now, it looks like eastern counties will see the better chance for rainfall. Winds this afternoon will be form the southwest between five to ten mph.

Tonight we will have a storm in spots early, then a variable cloudy sky. Hopefully it clears out enough to be able to view the partial lunar eclipse. Temperatures tonight will be in the upper 50s to lower 60s and winds will be light to calm, which could lead to fog developing.
