Another system plans to move through the area late this week. Rain will move into the state Thursday Afternoon and persist through the day on Friday, before ending in most locations Friday Night. Rainfall will range from just a half inch in some areas to over 2″ in others. View expected amounts below.

Josh has been passionate about weather as long as his memory dates! From watching the Weather Channel at age 7, to making hand-drawn hurricane maps at age 11, starting his first weather site at 13, and founding PWA at 15 and forecasting for the state for the past 9 years, Josh's interest in weather has never dwindled! As difficult as it is, he greatly enjoys forecasting for Pennsylvania due to its countless microclimates. The state is an East Coast severe weather hotspot and nearly always home to the rain/snow line during winter storms!
