No big temperature extremes are in the offing for this week around Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, but there will be some rain to contend with on occasion.
According to Northeastern Weather Expert Dave Dombek, "Temperatures will generally be within a few degrees of average this week, which happen to range from a low in the upper 40s F to a high in the upper 60s."
A breeze will take away from the seasonable temperatures at times.
In terms of wet weather, the week will not be dry the entire time.

A couple of episodes of showers are in the offing into Tuesday night. Some areas may get a drenching thunderstorm with locally damaging winds as well. The period from Wednesday through most of Thursday will be free of rain.
According to AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Elliot Abrams, "The non-extreme weather during much of the week will provide an opportunity for leaf peeping."
Some autumn color was to be found in southern New England and the coastal mid-Atlantic with foliage approaching peak color in northern New England and a few pockets over the central Appalachians, according to YankeeFoliage.com.
Taking outdoor photos on a cloudy day versus a sunny one may yield better results, as long as it is not foggy or raining.
