Just like last weekend, we are in for another dry and beautiful start to the weekend followed by some showers that will stick around for a few days. Although the amount of rain will not be comparable, with maximum totals of about 1.5″ possible through Tuesday. This is good news for fall foliage season in…
Weekends lately have featured anything but nice weather. Last weekend was a torch, and previous weekends featured cool and wet conditions. Memorial Day Weekend last year set the bar very low, as temperatures were in the 40s and 50s as the rain just kept falling. This year, Memorial Day Weekend will be much more pleasant.…
If this was January, we would be forecasting a major snowstorm with multiple feet of snow across the heart of the state, but it’s not.

The heat will continue this weekend, with highs getting into the 80s across most of the state. A few places may even hit the 90 degree mark, likely near Philadelphia. Mostly sunny skies are expected overhead today, and partly cloudy skies are likely Saturday and Sunday. A few spotty showers/storms are possible Saturday afternoon and…
Our streak of severe weather is finally set to end today. It has been an impressive run for any time of the year, but especially late August.

Yet another round of scattered thunderstorms is on tap for today, some of which may be strong to severe. Primary threats include damaging winds in intense cells and isolated hail.

UPDATE: This threat shifted more to Sunday AM. A Slight Risk is still up for the late afternoon and evening, but severe thunderstorm activity looks to be very isolated.

Just a few weeks ago, parts of southern PA were in a moderate drought according to the Drought Monitor. But another soaking rain will essentially put a nail in the coffin on the drought.
