Discussion
Powerful thunderstorms that pounded western and central Pennsylvania last night fell apart by the time they reached the eastern third of the state due to the very dry air in place around here and also the overall weakening of the support in the upper atmosphere. High pressure returns to the area today as a weak cold front settles just to our south. This same frontal system will turnaround later tomorrow and lift through the area as a warm front with some shower activity and perhaps a thunderstorm. It’ll turn out quite warm and downright humid on Friday with an occasional shower and an afternoon or evening thunderstorm is possible; however, much of the day should be rain-free. More widespread shower activity is expected for Saturday as a cold front arrives and then an upper-level low form in the eastern US and produce additional unsettled weather around here during the early part of next week.
