Cooler Temperatures Intrude Pennsylvania

Yesterday, majority of the state saw above average temperatures with a cold front moving through later in the evening. This brought rain into the overnight hours and into early morning Monday.

Today, rain is expected to clear out for most of the Commonwealth as the cold front exits the region. The cold front leaves behind below average temperatures with winds speeds about 15-20 miles per hour.

Beyond today, temperatures are expected to remain below average, failing to emerge out of the upper 50s over the next few days. Our next chance of rain doesn’t come until early next week.

A Break from Fall

Conditions have been fall like around the region throughout much of this week. A high pressure system stationed over the Commonwealth has kept it dry and cool every day. This weather pattern will only stick around for a little bit longer as the weekend kicks off.

Friday will start off chilly and gradually warm up throughout the day. The skies will remain beautiful and sunny during the afternoon and into the evening. These conditions will continue overnight and into Saturday.

Although the weekend starts off seasonable, Saturday afternoon will bring above average temperatures. A cold front will begin to move its way through the area starting early on Sunday, bringing some showers and thunderstorms. As the front moves out of the area, the start of next work week will see the return of fall to the Commonwealth.

Seasonable Conditions This Weekend

Autumn has arrived, with fall-like conditions prevalent across the Commonwealth throughout the past few days. Temperatures have been seasonable to slightly below average.

Cloud cover will continue throughout the rest of the week, with temperatures going from seasonable to slightly above average. Temperatures will continue to rise throughout the weekend.

A low-pressure system will invade the region heading into Sunday, bringing with it chances of rain. Periods of rain may continue as the work week begins.

Sunny Skies, Average Temps

Yesterday started out overcast but the sun was able to make its way back into the sky after a couple cloudy days. Although skies cleared, temperatures remained below average for this time of the year, lingering in the upper 50s and low 60s.

Today will start out with cloudy skies, but like yesterday, skies will clear for another sunny day, with a warm up and temperatures closer to average with a high of 63. It’s a perfect day to enjoy the fall weather and go leaf peeping!

Conditions will remain the same tomorrow, with clear skies and average temperatures. As we head into the weekend, we can expect a change as a cold front will bring cooler temperatures and rainy conditions.

Bye, Bye, Nor’easter!

This past weekend, a Nor’easter scaled up our coast causing cloudy conditions over much of the Eastern seaboard. Areas like the Jersey Shore, Long Island, and Boston experienced very heavy rains and flooding bringing danger to large populations. Luckily, the Nor’easter is coming to an end and moving east out to sea, alleviating these areas from previous damage.

For today, cloudy skies are still expected with seasonable temperatures across much of the Northeast. A high pressure system will drop into our area from the North, clearing out those cloudy conditions and making Wednesday and Thursday more sunny. Temperatures overnight will start to drop and will approach freezing temperatures.

For this weekend, a cold front will come through causing for clouds to build up yet again, with very rainy conditions for much of the Commonwealth. From this, temperatures will climb back into the 70’s during the day and 40’s overnight.

Coastal Storm Brings Showers, And The Week Ahead

The past weekend saw clouds slowly roll in ahead of a nor’easter off the East Coast. 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 South Jersey shore, widespread rain showers off the water have held steady this morning, and cloudy conditions are prevalent otherwise. Temperatures have stayed around the mid-50s and will remain there as this system passes.

Looking past that, we can expect high pressure to set in once again, clearing the clouds by late Tuesday and raising temperatures a bit above normal for mid-October. This should make for another solid week weather-wise, with another round of precipitation not expected until perhaps next weekend.

Temperatures Fall Into Fall

Rain showers at the beginning of the week brought with them a cold front, bringing in much cooler temperatures across the area. The wet weather ended early on Wednesday, setting up for a sunny and beautiful Thursday. As the weekend began, the first frost warning of the year was issued for much of the central Commonwealth.

Clear conditions stick around for all of Friday. Below average temperatures continue to dominate the area, making for a chilly October day. The next change in weather will start to move its way through as the weekend begins.

Saturday will see a chance for spotty rain showers throughout the day. The rainy weather will continue for much of the weekend and into Monday morning. As the next work week begins, the seasonable temperatures will persist, and we will see the return of sunny skies to the Commonwealth.

First Freeze Friday

The past few days have seen a transition to a cooler pattern, as a cold front brought periods of rain moved through the Commonwealth. Temperatures yesterday were seasonable and skies were partly cloudy.

Today, conditions are noticeably cooler than average with lots of sunshine. Tonight, the Commonwealth could see our first freeze as temperatures head way into the 30s late overnight.

Looking ahead, a system is expected to bring more rain to the region on Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures are expected to increase to near seasonal averages.

Fall Feel Returns

Yesterday brought some much needed rain across most of the state, after a two months a relatively dry conditions. Rainfall near three-quarters of an inch fell here in State College.

The cold front associated with bringing the rain passed through the Commonwealth today, dropping temperatures anywhere from 5-15 degrees lower compared to yesterday. Temperatures are hovering around average for this time of year.

The next couple days across the state look to be below average, with some low temperatures dipping to the freezing mark. Conditions will remain dry, as high pressure settles throughout the region.

High Pressure Dominates

High pressure situated to our north has been the cause of clear and sunny skies. The talks of rain this time last week are a stark contrast to what we have in store for this weekend. Overnight lows have started to slip further and further down, with the low temperature this morning hitting the high 30s across Centre County.

 

Today sees a return to the mid 70s after two days of lower high temperatures. Accompanying the higher temperatures is clear skies, with high pressure in the region resulting in sunny skies. No rain in the forecast for today also thanks to the high pressure.

 

Our current pattern is set to continue through this weekend, with temperatures expected to jump up into the low 80s in the coming days. High pressure will eventually exit the region middle of next week giving way to a cold front that will bring the chance for rain here in Happy Valley.
