After a strong cool front crosses the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, area on Saturday, a brief burst of cool air will affect the area during the balance of the weekend.
From Friday night into Saturday morning, an approaching cool front will bring periods of rain and perhaps a thunderstorm.
The rain could be heavy enough to cause travel delays.
Know when the rain will hit by using AccuWeather's MinuteCast™. It has the minute-by-minute forecast for your exact location. Type your city name, select MinuteCast, and input your street address. On mobile, you can also use your GPS location.
While the core of the chilly air will remain over the Midwest, dry, blustery and cooler conditions will follow the front Saturday afternoon through Sunday. AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures can dip to the 30s F later Saturday night and will be in the 40s for a time on Sunday.

The AccuWeather RealFeel Temperature stands apart from other indices, such as the National Weather Service's Wind Chill Index, which generally rely on two factors - such as temperature and either wind speed or humidity. RealFeel Temperatures incorporate many factors in a complex equation to provide a precise measure of how the temperature feels outdoors in a specific location. Contributing factors include temperature, wind speed and humidity, as well as additional factors including precipitation, cloud cover and sun intensity. Only the patented technology of the RealFeel Temperature lets you know what it feels like to people.
Winds will ease and temperatures will rebound to near 70 F during Monday and Tuesday of next week. Another dose of rain is possible during the middle of next week.
The episodes of rain during October follow what has been a rather dry September in the region. Less than 40 percent of the average rainfall occurred last month, which is around 4 inches.
