Thunderstorms are expected to move into the Harrisburg area on Saturday afternoon, potentially spoiling Labor Day plans, according to the National Weather Service. These storms could bring gusty winds, hail, and heavy rain that may lead to flash flooding. The storm alert covers a wide area, including counties such as Franklin, Perry, Dauphin, and York.
Before the storms hit, Saturday is set to be warm with a high of 85 and a mix of sun and clouds. The Weather Channel predicts that scattered thunderstorms are most likely after 6 p.m., so those with outdoor plans should check ahead. The last day of August could also see more scattered showers and thunderstorms across Central Pennsylvania.
The holiday weekend is expected to be a mixed bag, with rain and thunderstorms possible early Sunday afternoon but a partly sunny day overall. Labor Day, however, is forecasted to be sunny, clear, and warm. The upcoming days include a mix of cloudy and sunny weather, with temperatures reaching a high of 86 on Sunday, 80 on Monday, and 77 on Tuesday.
Overall, residents in the Harrisburg area should be prepared for potentially severe weather on Saturday afternoon but can expect a mix of sunshine and rain throughout the holiday weekend. It is advised to stay updated on the latest weather alerts and plan outdoor activities accordingly.
