455 PM EDT Mon May 18 2026



Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible this 

evening, mainly across south-central Pennsylvania. Some of these 

storms could become strong-to-severe and produce damaging wind 

gusts before weakening a couple of hours after sunset. Most of the

Commonwealth will remain dry overnight after shower/storm 

activity diminishes with any precipitation limited to the 

northwestern corner of the state closer to daybreak on Tuesday. 

Low temperatures overnight will range from the mid-60s across the 

northern tier to near 70 across far southeastern Pennsylvania. 



Another day of potentially record heat is on tap for Tuesday, 

with high temperatures ranging from the lower 80s across higher 

elevations of northern Pennsylvania to the upper 90s in the 

Philadelphia metro area. Morning shower activity will be limited 

to northwestern Pennsylvania with showers and storms expected to 

expand across the western half of the Commonwealth by the evening 

hours. Some strong-to-severe thunderstorms will be possible 

tomorrow evening, especially across northwestern Pennsylvania, 

with damaging winds being the main hazard.



A strong cold front will bring showers and scattered storms on 

Wednesday, some of which could be severe in the afternoon and 

early evening across the southeastern half of the state. Cooler, 

more seasonable conditions will follow for the end of the week and
