The cold front will drop south of the Mason/Dixon line later this afternoon, followed by partial clearing with notably lower humidity as the light to moderate breeze switches to the northwest. High temperatures will be a few degrees cooler than on Wednesday, ranging from the mid and upper 70s respectively across the Laurel Highlands and Northern Mountains to low 80s throughout the valleys of Central and Southern PA. Sunny and pleasantly warm conditions with low humidity will spread across much of the region for Friday, though some clouds and a stray shower is possible across the southern tier counties of the state. An uptick in clouds and humidity will bring some periods of unsettled weather as we head through the weekend and Memorial Day. $$ Lambert
