Early morning low temperatures will vary from the Upper 30s throughout the perennial cold spots in the Northwest Mountains to around 60 in the Greater Philadelphia Metro Area. Variable amounts of clouds will persist across Southern Pennsylvania today with nothing more than a few light sprinkles possible. Abundant sunshine, a 5 to 10 mph North to Northeast wind, fairly low humidity in the 30s and 40s this afternoon, excellent visibility and near normal high temperatures will kick off this first weekend on October across Central and Northern PA. Mid afternoon highs will be near the 60 degree mark across the higher terrain of Northern PA and the Laurel Highlands and in the upper 60s to low 70s respectively, across the Central Ridge and Valley Region and Southeastern PA. A fast-moving and amplifying trough moving our way from the Northern U.S. and South-Central Canada will bring back clouds from the south Sunday into Sunday night across Much of Central and Southern PA with a likelihood of some light rain.
