Rain & Warmth Wednesday Will Lead to Winter-Like Conditions For End of Week

        With a blizzard slamming the Great Plains and strong tornadoes in the Southeast, we are next to be impacted by this system. We will not see any severe weather but moderate rain which could lead to localized flooding will be possible Wednesday. Between .50-1″ of rain is likely in the western half of the state. The eastern half can expect between .75″ – 1.25″ of rain. Here is our latest Future Radar, indicating the rain will move west to east across PA as the day progresses.

        Continuing on, flooding will be a concern especially in areas still melting away snow-pack. Several creeks in Southern PA will reach “Action Stage,” but we don’t anticipate any significant flooding. Below is the latest flood watch map.

        A cold front will sweep through Thursday, bringing temperatures back to where they should be for this time of year. This weekend should be mainly dry, but we continue to watch the potential for a winter storm early to mid next week. Here are the projected highs for Friday.
