Regional Weather Summary
National Weather Service State College PA
558 AM EDT Fri Mar 22 2024

High pressure centered over the Commonwealth this morning
provided clear skies and light wind overnight which led to quite
cold temperatures in the 10 to 15 degree range over the Northern
Mountains and teens to mid 20s elsewhere across Central and
Southern Pennsylvania.

This high will drift Northeast to the New England states this
afternoon and a southeasterly breeze will freshen and quickly
erode the shallow cold air, allowing a warm up to seasonably mild
temperatures in most places. High temperatures this afternoon will
range from the 30s (north) and 40s to near 50F (across the
southern half of the state).

Clouds will gradually increase and thicken-up through the day,
with rain beginning over the Western Mountains of the state late
this afternoon or evening.

The rain will overspread the rest of the region tonight and
continue through Saturday morning. The rain will be mixed
with wet snow or sleet at times across the Northern Mountains
late today and early tonight, and likely end in this same
region as a brief 1 to 2 hour period of snow during the midday
hours Saturday. any snow accumulation should be less than one inch
and occur mainly on colder, grassy areas.

The rain and wet snow will taper off across the far east by
later Saturday.

High pressure building south into the state from Ontario Canada
will bring clearing skies and dry conditions for Sunday into
Tuesday.

More wet weather will be possible for the second haLf of next
week.
