WELL, GOOD AFTERNOON. IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE HEADING OUT HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS, ESPECIALLY IN FRANKLIN COUNTY, YOU MAY WANT TO JUST TAKE THE UMBRELLA WITH YOU JUST TO BE SAFE. IF YOU ARE EAST OF HARRISBURG, YOU’RE GOING TO BE OKAY BECAUSE WE ARE JUST GOING TO BE DEALING WITH SOME CLOUDS AND THOSE AREAS BEFORE THE RAIN ARRIVES LATER ON THIS EVENING AND INTO YOUR WEDNESDAY. WEDNESDAY COULD BE NEAR RECORD HIGHS ACROSS THE AREA. HERE WE ARE FORECASTING 58. THE RECORD IS 57, SO WE’LL SEE HOW THAT GOES FOR WEDNESDAY. AND ALSO END OF WEEK RAIN SHOWER CHANCES REMAIN IN THE FORECAST, PARTICULARLY FRIDAY NIGHT INTO YOUR SATURDAY FOR THE START OF THE WEEKEND, BUT STORM TRACK LIVE RADAR NETWORK SHOWING ROUND ONE GETTING READY TO MOVE INTO PARTS OF FRANKLIN COUNTY. HERE YOU CAN SEE THAT RAIN DOWN BY MARTINSBURG. AND AS WE BEGIN TO MOVE INTO FRANKLIN COUNTY HERE WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. SO WAYNESBORO HEADS UP, CHAMBERSBURG WILL BE A LITTLE BIT LATER FOR YOU, BUT WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS, YOU’RE GOING TO START SEEING RAIN THERE IN FRANKLIN COUNTY AND ALSO ADAMS COUNTY BEFORE THIS ALL BEGINS MOVING TO THE NORTH AND EAST. AND THEN WE’LL OVERTAKE THE AREA AS WE HEAD INTO THIS EVENING. SO LET’S TIME THIS OUT FOR YOU HERE. WE’VE GOT THE RAIN WILL BEGIN TO MOVE IN. LIKE I SAID, FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. AND THEN IT’S GOING TO BE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THEN AS WE GET INTO TOMORROW MORNING, 8:00, 9:00, YOU SEE WIDESPREAD RAIN ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY HERE, EVEN SOME YELLOWS SHOWING SOME MODERATE RAIN AT TIMES. SO JUST SOMETHING TO BE AWARE OF TO. YOU COULD SEE SOME MORE DOWNPOURS, ESPECIALLY IN OUR WESTERN COUNTIES AS WE GO THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING. AND THEN IN THE AFTERNOON. STILL GOT THE RAIN, BUT IT BECOMES A LITTLE MORE SCATTERED AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING, SO WE’LL GOING TO SEE A SOGGY, RAINY, COOL DAY ON YOUR WEDNESDAY. DEFINITELY NOT THE DAY TO BE OUTSIDE TOMORROW. THIS WILL BEGIN TO PULL AWAY. AND THEN AS WE HEAD INTO YOUR THURSDAY, MORE CLOUDS THAN SUNSHINE. I CAN’T RULE OUT AN AFTERNOON SHOWER THOUGH. AS WE GO INTO YOUR THURSDAY WE CAN SEE SOME SPECKS OF BLUE THAT ARE TRYING TO POP UP ON THE RADAR IN THE EVENING HOURS, SO JUST BE AWARE OF THAT. IF YOU HAVE ANY EVENING PLANS THURSDAY, YOU MAY BE DODGING SOME RAINDROPS OUT THERE AS WELL. LANCASTER RIGHT NOW IT’S DRY. YOU GOT THE CLOUD COVER AND TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE 60S AND 70S. IT’S 67 IN LANCASTER RIGHT NOW. WINDS ARE OUT OF THE EAST AT THREE MILES PER HOUR. WE COULD SEE 71 IN YORK, EPHRATA IS AT 70, LEBANON, 67 LANDISBURG AND CARLISLE, YOU’RE AT 68, 69 THERE IN CHAMBERSBURG AND 75 IN GETTYSBURG. TEMPERATURES FOR MOST OF THE AREA GETTING INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON HERE, WARMING UP A FEW MORE DEGREES. BUT THOSE RAIN SHOWERS REALLY START TO BECOME MORE ABUNDANT AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE EVENING. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY EVENING PLANS TONIGHT, DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THAT UMBRELLA WITH YOU, ESPECIALLY WEST OF HARRISBURG. TONIGHT THOSE RAIN SHOWERS BECOME MORE ABUNDANT. SEASONABLY COOL. WE’RE GOING TO BE IN THE LOW TO MID 50S AND TEMPERATURES NOT CHANGING MUCH. AS WE GO THROUGH YOUR WEDNESDAY. IT WILL BE A LIGHT RAIN THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE DAY, WITH A LITTLE BIT OF DOWNPOURS HERE AND THERE, BUT THE BIGGER THING IS THE FACT IT’S JUST GOING TO BE NEAR RECORD COOL WITH THE HIGHS. I MEAN, WE’RE EXPECTING THAT 58, LIKE I SAID, AND WE ONLY GET TO 57 FOR THE COLDEST HIGH TEMPERATURE EVER RECORDED ON THAT DATE BACK IN 1996. SO IT IS WELL BELOW AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. YOU CAN SEE NEARLY 20 DEGREES THERE. SO WE WILL BE SEEING THAT COOL TEMPERATURE. IT WILL BRING US SOME RAIN THOUGH, AROUND THREE QUARTERS TO AN INCH OF RAIN FOR MOST OF US. SOME PLACES COULD GET A LITTLE BIT HIGHER AMOUNTS THAN THAT, BUT WE’LL TAKE THE RAIN ACROSS THE REGION. TEMPERATURES REMAIN BELOW AVERAGE AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND, BUT NOTICE HOW THEY START TO INCREASE AS WE HEAD INTO MONDAY OF NEXT WEEK HERE. AND THAT TREND CONTINUES WHEN WE LOOK AT YOUR TEN DAY FORECAST NEXT WEEK, IT LOOKS LIKE MOTHER NATURE FINALLY GETS THE MESSAGE THAT WE WANT THE WARMER WEATHER. AS WE TURN THE PAGE INTO JUNE AND TEMPERATURES GO INTO THE 80S, WELL INTO THE 80S AS WE GO INTO THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK AND MORE SUNSHINE AS WELL. SO, SUSAN, WE JUST GOT TO GET THROUGH THIS WEEK. IF YOU’RE TIRED OF THE COOL WEATHER AND YOU WANT THE SUNSHINE AND WARMTH, YOU JUST GOT TO WAIT TILL NEXT WEEK WHEN WE FINALLY GET I
