According to the WGAL News 8 Storm Team, regional emergency crews and residents responded to more than 67 reports of downed trees and power lines.
The damage followed a line of storms that moved through south-central Pennsylvania the previous evening.
A cold front moving south is drawing drier air into the area, causing dew points to drop from the mid-60s into the 50s.
Meteorologist Maryellen Pann reported that northwest winds blowing at 10 to 15 mph are helping settle a more comfortable air mass into the region.
"Our live local eight scan is showing dry conditions across the area, so we'll have an opportunity to get out and clean up after storm damages," stated Maryellen Pann, Meteorologist for the WGAL News 8 Storm Team.
