I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. We’re almost to the weekend folks. Time to power through. Western PA looks to stay dry overall with partly sunny skies, although a slight risk of a stray shower is possible in far SW PA. A better chance of showers and thunderstorms is expected on Friday before Saturday starts to dry out again for the most part. Highs will rise into the low to mid 70s today before mid 70s to low 80s track in on Friday and Saturday. Lows will drop into the mid 50s to low 60s tonight before upper 5s to mid 60s push in on Friday night and mid 50s to low 60s return on Saturday night. The DC Region will hold onto rain today before the chance of showers becomes spottier on Friday and conditions stay mainly dry on Saturday. Highs will climb into the mid 60s today before low to mid 70s track in on Friday and upper 70s to low 80s move in on Saturday. Lows will drop into the low to mid 60s tonight before mid to upper 60s settle in on Friday night and Saturday night. Have a good one folks! Only 1 more day after today.
