It Sure Feels Like Fall

Following a bit of drizzle in the latter half of the weekend, Monday in PA was quite clear and crisp, with temperatures creeping just up into the 60s and only a few scattered clouds here and there. On top of that, dry air set in, and it looks like that will be the case for a bit of time going forward. This was about as good as fall weather can get.

Today is, for lack of a better term, the exact same. A bit extra warmth should aid in another pretty day, and even less moisture means skies should be entirely clear for most of the Commonwealth. Add in a light breeze, and one must really feel that fall has arrived.

If you enjoy the best of what autumn has to offer, you are in luck this week. This high pressure, seasonable and dry regime should hold at least through Sunday morning, with essentially no chance of precipitation until the beginning of the new work week. Fall foliage should also begin to become a factor as the week goes on: isolated pockets of moderate color exist right now at high elevations, but the rest of the Commonwealth should see color appear by the weekend. All that said, the remnants of a coastal low crossing the interior US would be our next chance at precipitation Monday and Tuesday, and this will have to be monitored as that time period draws closer.
