“Acey Said 10 Percent.”

Posted on
A bit of a temperature roller coaster is taking place this week as temperatures seem indecisive as to whether they want to stay down or up. Hopefully everyone stays healthy through these changes. A chance of drizzle may linger early in western PA today before partly cloudy skies move in on Thursday. A chance of a wintry mix is possible early on Friday before changing over to rain. Highs in the upper 30s to low 40s today in western PA will dip into the mid to upper 30s on Thursday before low to mid 40s move in on Friday. Lows in the 20s tonight will rise into the mid 20s to low 30s on Thursday night before Friday night bumps up into the 30s. The DC Region will see a chance of rain hold on early in the day today before conditions dry out into Thursday as mostly sunny skies settle in. A chance of rain will track in on Friday (with potential sleet early). Highs in the mid to upper 50s today will fall off into the mid to upper 40s Thursday and Friday. Lows in the 30s the next couple nights will increase into the low to mid 30s on Friday night. It’s hump day. Get over it! Enjoy yourselves!
