Lancaster Area Forecast

DISCUSSION

Northeasterly winds of 10-20 mph will continue to draw moisture from the Atlantic into the Lower Susquehanna Valley this afternoon and interact with a disturbance moving eastward through the mid-Atlantic States. As a result, periods of light rain and drizzle will gradually taper off later this afternoon and evening. Most areas will receive an additional 0.05-0.20" of rain. A sprawling high pressure system over southeastern Canada will then build southward into New England during the middle of the week and force the rain farther south and west. In addition, skies should at least partially clear on Wednesday and then be partly-to-mostly sunny on Thursday. Northeasterly winds of 10-20 mph will persist each afternoon through the end of the week, and high temperatures will be around 15 degrees below normal this afternoon and 10 degrees below normal on Wednesday and Thursday.
