A strong storm system is still swirling across the region, bringing hit or miss showers and blustery wind. This trend holds into the evening and overnight as the potent upper-low swings in. As the wave moves east, we'll see more widespread showers tonight. A couple showers linger into early Saturday but it's looking much drier and eventually brighter. The wind becomes stronger tomorrow though, as this low departs! The gusty conditions have made Saturday an IMPACT DAY, with the potential to reach 45 mph or so. The ridgetops could possibly rise to around 50 mph. That's where we have a Wind Advisory in effect, until 6 PM Saturday. This includes Franklin and Mifflin County. This system continues to work away from the Valley and high pressure builds. Clearing develops through the afternoon and evening with the help of that NW wind. It settles down tomorrow night with a starry sky on tap. We'll start with sunshine Sunday but clouds bubble up in the heating of the day. Temps rebound nicely too with highs surging back into the 70s. The warmth streams in ahead of a system that brings hit or miss showers and storms later in the evening into the overnight. There is a low-end threat of severe weather but it depends on the instability in the air. It's looking like we'll have a cap in play that inhibits those stronger storms but we'll be watching. Behind this system, drier air takes over into next week with temps staying mild. Afternoon readings hold in the 70s with some upper-ridging developing. An unsettled stretch unfolds midweek onwards though as another system impact us. A warm front lifts in on Wednesday with hit or miss showers or rumbles on the table. The cold front then looks to move in Thursday into Friday. We hold onto the threat of showers Friday into the following week as the upper-low moves through the region. Temperatures Saturday and Sunday fall below normal with highs topping out around 60.
