Daily Forecast for Thursday, October 4th, 2018

Although it is the first week of October, temperatures today will feel more like early September with most areas warming well into the 70s, if not 80s for high temperatures. A cold front is expected to cross the state this evening delivering with it the chance for scattered thunderstorms. While the storms could go severe, we are not anticipating anything close to what our area experienced on Tuesday.

With that being said, the greatest chance for thunderstorms will be across Central and Western Pennsylvania this afternoon and evening. By the time the cold front arrives in Eastern Pennsylvania, the threat will just be limited to scattered showers.

Below is a look at the future radar for 7:00 PM showing the broken line of thunderstorms as the cold front passes through: 

 

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!
