really nice weekend for us. next week the next chance for rain and it looks like going into monday and tuesday we have a threat for some pretty decent rain. a little rain would not be a bad thing. saturday 78 for a high. we may have a couple clouds around early in the morning, but otherwise i'm thinking lots of sunshine. only problem with tomorrow, it's not a big deal but a little breezy, winds out of the northwest 10 to 20, an occasional gust tomorrow and tomorrow afternoon. a little bit warmer sunday and we're talking about the possibility of a few late day clouds coming in sunday, but i don't think it will do much and i don't think it's a problem. here we are, clear skies for now, but this frontal system is moving on in. the front is into western sections of pennsylvania right now. you obviously can see the showers out ahead of it and real light stuff coming down across 70 back out to the west
10:50 pm
of us. tell you what we'll do. we'll use sentinel radar here, look back out to the northwest now and see if there's anything flying around. i've seen this echo the last 15 minutes or so out along 81 close to martinsburg, but still it's no big deal. it's just a sprinkle, if that, and a couple more trying to come out of western and southwestern sections of pennsylvania. the only thing we're talking about with this front moving through is the possibility and it's a very slight possibility that we may get a sprinkle or two overnight tonight out of it. this is futurecast right now at 11:00. seeing a little bit of light rain shower back out to the northwest of us. it's going to bring it through completely dry, sunshine to start for about everybody tomorrow through the day as well. so it looks real good. as we take you into sunday the only thing to see, a couple clouds come up from the spout and it does look like the -- south and it does look like the next chance of rain will be monday. look how it brings showers up by monday and monday afternoon.
10:51 pm
