Latest Forecast

Southwesterly winds of 7-14 mph will pump unseasonably warm air into the Lower Susquehanna Valley this afternoon ahead of an approaching cold front. As a result, high temperatures will be around 15 degrees above average and reach the low-to-mid 60s. A broken line of showers will accompany the cold frontal passage between 2-7 PM, but most areas will receive little if any rain. In those that do, rain should not last more than 15-30 minutes. Behind the front, westerly winds of 12-25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph will usher much colder and drier air into the Commonwealth from tonight into Thanksgiving Day. In stark contrast to this afternoon, high temperatures on Thanksgiving will be 5-10 degrees below average, or generally in the low 40s. Factor in the strong winds, and wind chills will be stuck in the upper 20s to low 30s. The blustery and unseasonably cold conditions will persist into Black Friday, and westerly winds gusts may be even higher than Thursday and reach 45 mph at times. Wind chills will also be lower and bottom out in the teens early Friday morning. Dress in layers, and wear a winter coat and gloves late this week! In addition, keep a tight grip on the steering wheel and be alert for blowing objects and some minor debris on roadways.
