Above Average Conditions

The past 24 hours saw a dip towards average conditions for much of the Commonwealth yesterday. Parts of Pennsylvania only saw temps a few degrees above average for this time of year, in contrast to the well above average temperatures for the past week. Still experiencing drought conditions throughout the majority of the state. We are experiencing a level 1 out of 5 drought in State College and up to a 3 out of 5 drought in parts of Western PA.

Abundant sunshine throughout the Commonwealth for today as temperatures rebound to well above average. Highs for today are set to be in the low to mid 80s throughout most of the state with the exceptions of higher elevations in Southwestern PA.

A look ahead to the weekend and the start of next week we’re continuing the trend of above average temperatures and plentiful sunshine, so enjoy some time outside as Penn State Football takes a break this weekend. Next chance that we will see precipitation will be middle of next week where we are expecting a cold front to move through the region. This will deliver some much needed rain throughout the Commonwealth.
