Punxsutawney Phil’s Forecast

A few days this week brought some snow showers to the region but conditions have been very pleasant from where we have been just a week ago. Temperatures have been above average and skies have been mostly clear giving us a break from the brutal cold. While temperatures will stick to around average, it will give way to some rain as the end of the work week comes upon us.

As we start the weekend, a system will be moving through the common wealth bring with it some much needed rain. Starting off as freezing rain, it will bring some icy conditions to the northern tier the state but will transition to rain by the afternoon. Rain will continue through the evening but then will taper off over night with a few lingering rain showers overnight.

Looking ahead, a beautiful day will set up for your Saturday with sunny skies throughout the day but with clouds moving in overnight. Your Sunday outlook is not looking so nice as gusty conditions will prevail with a couple snow showers possible through the afternoon to evening. As you head into the work week, cloudy conditions will continue throughout the day Monday but will transition into pleasant day for Tuesday. While conditions will be nice to start the week, be on the look out for the next chance of rain on Wednesday as a another system will be moving through bringing showers across the region.
