These weather features will combine to bring plenty of clouds and slightly cooler than normal daytime temperatures. Several periods of rain will be focused across Southern and Eastern portions of Pennsylvania, while much of Central and Northwestern counties of the state will see very little or no rain. High temperatures this afternoon will range from the low to mid 60s on the ridgetops of the Laurel Highlands to the low and mid 70s in most other parts of the state. Lows tonight will vary from the mid 50s over the Northern Mountains to the low and mid 60s in the Southeastern part of the state. The areal coverage of rain will decrease across Central Pennsylvania Thursday, with the best chance of rain shifting to the Lower Susquehanna and Western Poconos. A ridge of high pressure at the surface and aloft will build east from the Ohio Valley for Friday and Saturday, accompanied by variable amounts of clouds, but generally dry conditions and a return to above normal daytime temperatures. $$ Lambert
