The Central Pennsylvania region may have experienced some rain, however it has not been enough to get out of the current drought watch. According to ABC 27 Meteorologist Dan Tomaso, the region is just a quarter of an inch of rain for the entire month.

“We're just over a quarter inch of rain for the entire month, which is pretty insanely low or approaching the last ten days of the month that we haven't even gotten to a half inch yet. That will begin to change later tonight into tomorrow. So the first kind of phase of this week was the mild weather from Monday through now. When I say mild temperatures approaching the 60s in the afternoon, sunshine, but also mild at night with temperatures only dropping to their lowest in the 40s.”

The temperature for the month of November has been warm compared to previous years. The area may also see snow on Friday and Saturday of this week.

“There will be a line of showers, maybe in a few thunderstorms sometime after 8 p.m.. So, depending on where you are in the Midstate, it'll go from west to east. That rain will be heavy at times and it's the first time, I think at least in over a month and a half that I mean, we'll say it's a legitimate chance of getting over a half inch of rain, which is not a lot of rain in the grand scheme of things, but it may be the heaviest rain we've had since the beginning of October. If it all pans out the way we expect. And as that storm exits, it actually forms a coastal low, which will bring some snow to interior New England because there's cool air coming in behind this storm night. Once that happens and the cooler air settles in for Friday, we may see snow showers here locally. Now, it will likely not accumulate because temperatures won't be at or below freezing in the ground. But you heard it here first, perhaps.”
