Latest Forecast

A narrow line of showers associated with a secondary cold front will traverse northern MD, southeastern PA and the Lower Susquehanna Valley from west-to-east early this afternoon. Behind it, westerly winds will increase and be sustained at 20-30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph through 10 PM. A Wind Advisory is in effect through 1 AM Saturday. The howling, westerly winds will usher much colder and drier air into the Commonwealth and cause isolated power outages. In addition, motorists should be alert for downed tree limbs, blowing objects, and debris on roadways and keep a tight grip on the steering wheel, especially on north-south oriented highways. Temperatures will plummet into the 30s by sunset with wind chills in the teens and 20s. A high pressure system will settle into the Carolinas and southern mid-Atlantic States from tonight into Saturday and cause winds to subside. It will promote partly sunny, more tranquil and seasonable conditions for the start of the weekend with highs around 40 degrees Saturday afternoon. After a partly cloudy and relatively mild Saturday night, another cold front will sweep through the region on Sunday. The front will be starved for moisture, so no rain or snow showers will accompany its passage. Behind it, west-northwesterly winds will ramp back up Sunday afternoon and gust up to 40 mph at times.
