Read the latest forecast for Pennsylvania from the National Weather Service.
Central Pennsylvania residents can expect a wet and cool Wednesday evening transitioning to occasional showers on Thursday, with widespread rainfall returning Friday into early Saturday. A steady light to moderate rainfall will gradually taper off Wednesday evening, with isolated light showers and drizzle possible overnight.
Patchy fog may develop, particularly in valley areas, with temperatures remaining nearly steady in the lower to mid 50s. Thursday will offer occasional breaks of sunshine and slightly warmer temperatures, reaching the upper 60s to mid-70s, though isolated afternoon showers remain possible. A more significant rainfall event is anticipated Friday, with moisture surging from the west and increasing precipitation chances from south to north. The National Weather Service has issued a marginal risk for excessive rainfall, with potential for locally heavy rain as a coastal low develops Friday night. Rainfall amounts could be substantial, particularly in eastern portions of the region. Temperatures will remain below normal, with highs ranging from the upper 50s to the upper 60s. The weekend forecast shows a gradual transition to drier conditions. Saturday will feature continuing showers that will taper off from west to east. By Sunday, high pressure will begin to establish more stable weather, with cooler temperatures in the lower 60s to lower 70s. An isolated shower cannot be completely ruled out in the Northern Tier, but most areas should remain dry. Looking ahead, a warming trend is expected next week. Temperatures will get warmer each day, starting with low to mid-70s on Monday, rising to mid-70s to lower 80s by Tuesday, and potentially reaching widespread 80s by Wednesday. This suggests a return to more summer-like conditions after the current rainy period. Precipitation this month in Harrisburg is 6.80 inches, more than twice the normal amount for May. That doesn’t count today’s rain, which might have dropped another inch across the region.Next five years likely to bring more record-breaking heat, top forecasters warnGenerative AI was used to produce an initial draft of this story, which was reviewed and edited by PennLive.com staff.
