RAIN ENDING LATER TODAY, MILD TEMPERATURES STICK AROUND FOR THE WEEKEND...

Today's Forecast

Today's Forecast Image
  • 50°
  • 38°

We still have one more batch of rain to work its way through the Midstate this morning. The rain should end just before lunchtime in many spots. Total rainfall for this event will likely lie somewhere between 0.75-1.00". Skies will clear later in the day as temperatures soar into the 50s! The weekend will be dry, mild, and breezy. A shot of colder air will make a brief visit Sunday evening through Monday night. Then temperatures begin warming again for a good part of next week.  This is supposed to be the dead of winter, right?

-Meteorologist Brett Thackara
