Heavy Rain Expected to Pummel Region Through Friday Evening
It will be a fairly wet Friday across the area with periods of rain which will be heavy at times into the late afternoon and early evening hours. A Flood Watch is in effect for the area (except the Poconos and Schuylkill county) until the evening hours. As the storm moves through we can expect a general 1-2” of rain with locally higher amounts before the rain comes to an end this evening. The weekend looks mostly dry, but we could see a shower or two tomorrow as a disturbance moves through. Mother’s Day look to be dry during the day with rain returning at night. Highs over the weekend will be in the 60s.
In the sky tonight: The sun sits in Leo from Aug. 10 to Sept. 16, easy to find in the WSW sky at a medium height at 11:30 pm. The front of Leo is a backward question mark and the rear a triangle, of a sort. Comet 2003 KV2 does a near-Earth flyby today only 0.297 AUs away.
