The past week has seen a gradual warming of temperatures. Temperatures have been consistently comfortable over the past few days with highs consistently in the upper 60s and lower 70s. Yesterday brought temperatures in the low 70s with windy conditions across the state.

Today we can expect high temperatures in the low 60s and high 50s across the state. A cold front will move across the state during the late morning and afternoon hours. This will drop temperatures across the Commonwealth with lows across the state in the high 20s and low 30s. Rain showers are expected across the region.

These cooler conditions are expected to stick around for the foreseeable future with highs expected in the low 50s for the weekend. A brief shot of rain is expected on Saturday through portions of the state. Monday will see a system move through that will bring rain to the entire state.

Over the weekend, we saw some severe thunderstorms move through the Commonwealth, bringing strong winds and even a few isolated tornadoes to spots in western PA. After the front moved through, temperatures declined and remained low headed into Monday. Clouds overtook the region as well, preventing any sunshine to help raise temperatures.

Unlike Monday, the next few days look to be very promising regarding the temperature department. Highs for Tuesday and Wednesday are slated to hit the 60 degree mark. With no clouds in sight, conditions will stay dry and above average until Wednesday night, when we’ll start to see clouds roll in ahead of our next weather maker.

Thursday will bring some clouds and rain for the entire state, with the chance for some snow over portions of eastern PA. Those above average temperatures take a slight dip, stretching into the mid 50’s Thursday before really cooling off into the 40’s heading into Friday and the weekend. If you’re a fan of the above average temperatures, don’t fret, because we’ll be hanging around the 50 degree mark heading into next week.

 

This week, we experienced warmer conditions and a couple bleak days of overcast skies. Early in the week there was a rain event that brought precipitation to much of Pennsylvania.

Today, while temperatures loom in the 40s, feels-like conditions are a lot chillier due to high wind speeds across the Commonwealth. Tomorrow, temperatures continue to drop as a cold front traverses the state. With the cold front, chances of snow are increased in the western regions.

Next week pleasant conditions for Monday and Tuesday as sunny skies prevail. Overnight Tuesday into Wednesday a new system enters the region bringing rain throughout. Early Thursday as temperatures drop to seasonal averages, western portions of the state receive a higher chance of snow showers.

 

 

After a quick shot of rain throughout the afternoon on Tuesday, Wednesday started with mostly clear skies with temperatures above average. As the day has progressed, clouds have moved into the western half of Pennsylvania ahead of our second clipper system of the week. Areas west of the Interstate 79 corridor will begin to see rain this afternoon, and the precipitation will overspread the Commonwealth throughout the evening.

This clipper system will bring mostly rain throughout the Commonwealth on Thursday, with the northern highlands seeing some morning wet snowfall before switching to rain. A quick coating to two inches of snow is possible in the highest elevations, and travel conditions for the morning commute could deteriorate as snow begins to accumulate. The rest of the Commonwealth could see up to a half inch of rainfall from this storm system.

Friday will feature cooler than average temperatures with the chance of snow showers west of the Laurel Highlands. Some of these showers could reduce visibilities, so be sure to take extra precautions when traveling. The weekend is looking to feature below average temperatures with the chance of a light wintry mix across the Commonwealth on Saturday before skies clear for Sunday.
