A dry cold front will drop across the state today. This will help the sky clear out from north to south later this morning and throughout the afternoon. A breezy west wind will develop with the northern half of the Commonwealth seeing gusts peak close to 30 MPH. High temperatures will range from the upper 60s right along the Erie shoreline to the upper 80s in Philadelphia. The sky will cloud up again from the southwest starting early tonight as a wave of low pressure moves along the old cold front which will be stalled out near the Mason-Dixon Line. Rain will hold off until later tonight, moving in from the southwest. The rain should spread eastward Thursday morning. Expect widespread showers and a few thunderstorms to occur in a couple of waves on Thursday and into Friday. Some heavier rain is possible in any storms, and those would be mainly south of the Turnpike. Lows tonight will be in the upper 40s in the northern tier, and close to 60 in the far south. Highs will range from the mid 50s in the northwest to lower 70s in the southeast on Thursday. $$
