1036 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

Scattered showers will continue to spread eastward through the day
ahead of a cold front. A few rumbles of thunder will be possible
as well across southwestern Pennsylvania. While showers will
linger into the overnight hours over the eastern half of the
Commonwealth, rainfall totals will generally be less than a
quarter of an inch. Highs today will range from the mid 50s in 
the Poconos to near 70 degrees to the south of Pittsburgh.

A gusty west wind will direct cooler air into the Commonwealth to
start the weekend along with a few sprinkles across the northern 
tier for Saturday afternoon. The rest of the area will be partly 
sunny and only slightly cooler than normal. Lows tonight will be 
in the mid 30s in the northern valleys, and near 50 degrees in 
Philadelphia. Highs on Saturday will hold in the lower 40s off 
Lake Erie, but get into the mid 60s over the southeastern 
piedmont. Chillier nights Saturday and Sunday will pose a frost 
and freeze risk for unprotected vegetation.
