Temperatures will peak between 80 and 90 degrees during the afternoon hours Tuesday and Wednesday, which is about 15 degrees above average for late May. The building warmth and noticeably higher humidity will fuel a marginal to slight risk of severe thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon and evening. Isolated strong to locally damaging wind gusts are the primary threat focused across the northwestern half of the Commonwealth. Showers and thunderstorms will continue into Thursday with a marginal severe weather threat shifting into far southeastern Pennsylvania. Temperatures and humidity levels will trend lower into the holiday weekend. While not expected to be a washout, the precipitation pattern will remain somewhat unsettled with at least a chance of rain in most places through Memorial Day. $$
