Numerous showers and a few thunderstorms are expected for the

evening. There is a chance for heavier rain over northwestern 

Pennsylvania. Rain is expected to spread across the rest of the 

state Tonight, with Wednesday bringing a soaking rain for the 

majority of the state. Rainfall totals through Wednesday night 

will range from as low as a quarter inch along and south of the PA

Turnpike to upwards of an inch and a half in northwestern PA.



Rain showers will linger across much of the state on Thursday,
