The Best The Fall Can Get

/in /by

Last week was very likely the Commonwealth’s last gasp of summer (for real this time). Warm and humid temperatures into the low 70s went out with a bang Friday afternoon with a strong line of thunderstorms followed by a cold front. Despite a clear day, temperatures only made it to the low 50s Saturday, and […]

Warmth Holds, But Rain Lurks

/in /by

Last week in the Commonwealth was absolutely plagued with both humidity and severe thunderstorms as part of an unusually persistent Northwest Flow pattern. A backdoor cold front on Saturday finally flushed the moisture away, and left us with a stunningly pleasant Labor Day Weekend. High temps hovered around the upper-70s, and one would have been […]

Spring Warmth (and rain) Arrives

The Commonwealth seems closer than ever to escaping this very drawn-out winter pattern.

A few showers were noted across the Commonwealth, and temperatures remained fall-like, if not a little warm given some areas of sun. For most, Monday has had a rather dreary start. With a low pressure center situated off the […]

Looking Ahead at a Dry and Cool Week

/in /by

Following the exit of Saturday’s cold front that brought rain to much of the Commonwealth, a fall-like pattern has set in. Crisp conditions, clear skies, and temperatures slightly below average were the result of high pressure to round out the weekend. Today’s weather is much the same. Notably, frost advisories were issued by the National […]
