Sharp Contrast Across Much of the State

/in /by

Yesterday was a typical winter day. Although the temperature were above average, the feels like was low due to the windy conditions across most of the state.

For today, much more moderate conditions with peeks of sunshine. Though compared to yesterday, the state is taking two different trends in conditions. To the northwest in Erie, the temperature dropped significantly with temps in the 20’s. Whereas to the southeast, the temperatures increased from yesterday’s average, peaking in the 40’s. Center of PA temps remain similar to yesterday.

For this weekend, temperatures will rise and will be in the 50’s with sunny skies on Saturday. Overnight, colder conditions will bring in a potential of precipitation, with snow possible in the upper elevations, and the northwest. Sunday will be moderate with cloudy conditions, but heading into the evening temperatures will plummet bringing in a chance of more precipitation. To start the next work week, cold conditions will be the main story.

Warming Trend on the Way!☀️

/in , /by

Last night, a warm front brought some snow showers to the area leaving little to no accumulation. It also produced gusty winds, keeping conditions cooler into the overnight hours and into today.

Today in State College a few flurries remain from the system that passed through last night. Later today, clouds will mix with periods of sunshine and will remain dry for the rest of the day. Temperatures will stay seasonably chilly, with highs hovering in the low to mid 30s.

Looking ahead, another low-pressure system is set to move through midweek, bringing the chance for mixed precipitation. By the weekend, temperatures gradually increase with highs potentially in the low 50s and clouds clearing.

Freezing cold temperatures return to the Commonwealth as we saw some light snow from the Nor’easter that took place over the weekend. Expect light snow during the early morning hours of Wednesday clearing out by around midday. Our next chance of at least minor accumulating snow is Thursday, snow will be starting midday and continuing into early Friday.

Temperatures expected to warm up for this weekend with upper-mid 50s expected for Saturday with mostly sunny conditions. This warming trend will continue throughout the weekend until some more significant snow chances return for the following week, along with cooler temperatures.

Sunday Storm Seeks Out State College

/in /by

As we draw closer to the weekend, temperatures will gradually increase during the day, with Saturday seeing temperatures in the 40s. However, it’s too early to get truly excited, because Sunday is likely to bring a storm. This storm will approach in the early hours, rising along the East coast. It starts to come inland close to 5pm, reaching State College in the late afternoon and early evening. Fortunately, this snowfall shouldn’t be excessive like the storm we saw earlier this winter, but nevertheless may throw a wrench in your evening plans, if they include going outside. The entire weekend will be cloudy. Not great for sunrises, if you’re up early/late for THON! Although you may still enjoy the remnant fog that sits low along the mountains. So until Spring’s in our grasp, bring a jacket when you head outside, and stay warm out there!

Tomorrow we could see slightly milder conditions with snow showers possible as a warm front moves through overnight. Further on, into Friday, very cold temperatures will return with wind chills near or below zero.

A Washout Weekend Ahead?

/in /by

Our area has experienced very wintry conditions in the past couple of days. Yesterday, lake-effect made its way all the way down to Central Pennsylvania from Erie. This caused bands of snowy conditions as well as very high winds creating a cold and miserable day.

For today, temperatures will begin to rise capping out in the low 40’s, still below the seasonable expectation. Overcast skies are expected throughout the Commonwealth as a low pressure system begins to roll in our area. Overnight, rains will begin to move into our area from the southwest, caused by the low and will last until the early morning hours. Areas in the northern portion of the state are expected to have a chance of mixed precipitation and snow. The low temperatures for tonight will be in the low 30’s and even the upper 20’s in the northern half of the state.

Mostly cloudy skies with similar temperatures will be the story for Wednesday. Heading into Thursday, there will be a chance of rain in the late overnight hours lasting, and continuing all throughout Friday and Saturday. Temperatures will become more seasonable on Friday and will remain for the rest of the weekend.
