We’re entering a fairly moist spell here, but this is typical for the first several weeks of spring. Make sure to keep an umbrella handy—though I don’t foresee any soaking downpours or dangerously high winds in our immediate future.

[A reminder to my out-of-the-area readers: my weather forecasts cover the immediate area in which I, and my kith and kin, live and work: northern Lancaster County, central and southern Berks County.  Sometimes I comment on the weather in the Philadelphia region, Allentown, Harrisburg, and other places nearby.]

Today we’ll see overcast skies and chilly conditions with periods of rain throughout the day. This evening will bring scattered showers. High 44, low 37.

Friday looks cooler with some steadier periods of rain, but I don’t expect a great deal of precipitation. Rain will taper to scattered showers and drizzle Friday evening. High 41, low 32.

The weekend is looking a bit milder and quite windy with partly cloudy to sunny skies. Highs will be in the upper 40s to low 50s; lows in the low to mid 30s.

Monday will be cloudy and potentially rainy with a high around 48 and a low around 35.

Tuesday and Wednesday, the first two days of April, will be breezy and much milder with partly cloudy skies. Look for highs in the upper 50s and perhaps even low 60s; lows will be in the upper 30s.

Thursday, April 3^rd will see rain move in late in the day; it will continue into Friday and may be heavy at times. A strong cold front is moving through late Friday, so the possibility of isolated thunderstorms cannot be ruled out.

Next weekend will bring more below-normal temperatures after we have been tantalized with 60-degree-plus readings during the week. Highs will be in the 40s, lows in the upper 20s or low 30s.

The following week (beginning with Monday, April 7^th) will bring dry, pleasant, spring-like weather, with highs reaching into the 50s at the beginning of the week and perhaps the upper 60s by the end of the week.
