A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MIDDLE SUSQUEHANNA AND NORTH
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS THIS EVENING. A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTHEAST

OVER THE NORTHEAST CONUS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

POTENT SHORTWAVE DIVING INTO BASE OF DEEPENING UPPER TROF WILL
SWING THRU CENTRAL PA LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY. DESPITE AN
