Temperatures this past week have been up up up! As high as 20 degrees above the average for this time of year in State College, with temps in Philly soaring above the 90 degree mark. The warmth did not arrive with precipitation however, with showers plaguing the Commonwealth along with severe weather. Several severe thunderstorm warnings were issued by area NWS offices and tagged with considerable damage from hail.

This weekend will take a turn for the cold as temperatures head back down to Earth just in time for Earth Day next week. Rain will arrive early Sunday morning here in Happy Valley and bring the chance for a few rumbles of thunder.

The cold front on Sunday will be the main driver of cool conditions for the start of next week. Temps will shift several degrees below average, which is around 60; a stark contrast from the theme of this past week.

As April continues, temperatures were mild throughout the past weekend. Monday saw summer-like conditions with scattered thunderstorms in the evening.

Tuesday will bring significantly above average temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s, with chances of thunderstorms heading into the evening. Expect conditions to remain mostly dry and mild overnight.

Throughout the week a similar pattern will continue with summer-like daytime highs and mild evenings, with chances of scattered showers and thunderstorms. Heading into the weekend expect it to start off very warm, with a cold front blowing through the Commonwealth on Sunday, which will bring cooler temperatures.

 

The start of this week, State College experienced milder conditions in the low 70s. However, temperature plunged on Wednesday with a low of 23 degrees with faster winds. Conditions shifted from mild to cold with mostly clear skies.

Today, expect temperatures to start warming back up to the high 60s and low 70s by this afternoon. Conditions will be noticeably warmer today than yesterday’s. There is a chance of rain in the early evening, expected to continue into the night.

This weekend, warmer conditions persist in the low to mid 60s, with partly cloudy skies and low chance of precipitation both Saturday and Sunday. Winds light and variable throughout. Next week, we can expect temperatures to exceed average in the low 80s with a chance of light rain.

Over the weekend, summer-like temperatures were well above average, and early Sunday morning a cold front moved through. Rain was associated with this cold front, leaving behind cooler temperatures and clouds for Easter Sunday.

This morning, we had some breezy conditions, making already below average temperatures feeling even cooler. Today we’re expecting below average temperatures with sunny conditions, with highs only reaching the low to mid 40s. Later this week, temperatures will rebound to the low 70s, however there is a chance of rain in the western portions of the Commonwealth.

Over the weekend, temperatures will remain mild with calm and clear conditions and highs in the mid to upper 60s, while high pressure overtakes the eastern United States.

We have had cooler conditions throughout this week with cloudy and windy conditions carrying into this morning. Highs only reached into the lower 50s yesterday and lows were in the lower 40s. Those cool and dreary conditions continued this morning, but that will change as we head into this afternoon.

We expect highs in the lower 70s this afternoon with some breaks in cloud cover starting around 3 pm, but we cannot rule out a stray shower. This evening will clear up further with lows only in the upper 50s.

For tomorrow we will experience unseasonably warm conditions with highs right around 80 degrees. It will be overcast throughout the day but dry conditions are expected. In the evening, however, we will observe rain and a possible thunderstorm. Temperatures will drop rapidly overnight leading to a chillier Easter Sunday.
