Therefore, in Harrisburg, while rainfall during the dry months is at seasonal levels for most of the year, evaporation is high. We haven't seen much yet. In fact, just yesterday, Harrisburg received three times the rainfall that we recorded in July. I think we're going to get a lot more overnight and we did pretty well yesterday across most of the Susquehanna Valley, wherever you saw blue or red, you were over half an inch. Orange and red are closer to an inch. Small donuts from central Lancaster County, about a quarter of an inch. But overall, it helps the economy recover a little bit. Highs today are 86 degrees in Lancaster and Lebanon, 88 degrees in Harrisburg, 87 degrees in York, and 90 degrees in Gettysburg. Again, we're supposed to hit 87 degrees during the hottest time of the year. Last week we have been at or below average. The weather was not doing well, at least in terms of temperature. Uh, although there are some signs that it's going up in the ten-day forecast. But not for the next few days. It's muggy tonight. As we get closer to morning we will see some scattered showers and thunder overnight. By lunch time, the low was 70 to 74 and will rise to closer to 80. Those scattered showers will still occur in the early morning hours. A short break with some sunshine, then a few showers and storms in the afternoon. So I think we'll have a little more shower coverage tomorrow than we did today. And then Thursday will be a little bit more as well. The dew point here is in the 70s for a reason. This blue, this more humid air you're seeing is moving into the Susquehanna Valley. Showers followed. Now we're ranked 80 in Harrisburg and 80 in Hagerstown. We zoom in on Lancaster, 79, and Lebanon, 74. Check out our live Storm Team radar network from here heading west into Franklin County. Adams County, this time last night, they were taking showers. We have some showers moving in and they will continue to move in over the next few hours. Here, a lot of moisture is coming in from the south and west. There is a tropical humidity here. A cold front moving through the Great Lakes on Thursday will remove it from here. We'll see that in our News 8 Predictor. Let's move forward in time. This is a shower event. Moved in overnight. We will stop at 7:00 tomorrow morning and take a short break in the afternoon. Then we'd do the pop-up shower again. So the Susquehanna Valley isn't all filled with on-and-off showers. It's going to rain heavily when we go there on Thursday. The front line will move in here in the afternoon, and the timing is perfect. We may see some heavy downpours as we move into Thursday night. Friday morning I put the Wind Arrow here to show you again. The airflow out of Canada is cooler or wetter. So Friday looks like a good day. A comfortable day and a dry day. So there's a chance of rain tomorrow, scattered showers on Thursday, and good weather on Friday. Heading into the weekend on our sweltering meter. Yes, that's where we are today. Although the weather is wetter, we will continue to increase our efforts Wednesday into early Thursday. But come Friday, we'll be in that comfortable range. It won't be long, but we'll be there for at least the first part of the weekend. So we'd say it's going to stay sticky. We will see scattered showers on Thursday and more comfortable weather on Friday as we head into the weekend notice. We're heading into the weekend. We're going to have the heat and stickiness in there again with highs in the 90s and we're in the low to mid 90s as we go in

The southwesterly flow will continue into Thursday and high humidity will persist, but high temperatures will reach seasonal averages for the summer. This will allow for a few rounds of scattered showers over the next two days. A cold front will move through the state late Thursday, clearing out the moist air and setting us up for a more comfortable Friday.
