The Campus Weather Service currently has 10 forecast zones, consisting of the State College Area, the Ridge and Valley Region, the Laurel Highlands, Pittsburgh Metro, Northwest, North Central, Northern Susquehanna, the Capital Region, Northeast and Southeast. The counties that reside in a respective zone were grouped together, in most cases, due to frequent similarity in their weather conditions. In the future these zones may be adjusted somewhat as we try to better forecast the conditions across the state. Please take time to check the following list and/or graphic to determine in which forecast zone you reside. This will allow you to more effectively use the PA zone forecasts link in the menu on the left side of our webpage. The county by county break down of each zone is as follows:
