Weekend Warmup (and Washout?) Expected

Yesterday brought an unwelcome sight for much of Pennsylvania, with many seeing their first flakes in a couple weeks. The much cooler temperatures are a noticeable change from the last week or so, with below freezing temperatures overnight for much of the state. Despite the cold, skies cleared out very well overnight across the state.

Fair weather is expected today, with sunny skies during the day and a slight (but welcome) warmup compared to yesterday. Despite starting the day off near or below freezing, many areas will warm into the 50s in the afternoon. Clouds will likely increase overnight.

An active weather pattern is expected going into the weekend, with a light initial round of rain associated with a warm front moving through Friday afternoon. The entire state will be much warmer than average for the weekend, with widespread 60s and 70s for both Saturday and Sunday. However, rain will also be widespread, particularly Saturday night, Sunday evening, and Monday, with thunderstorms possible in the southern parts of Pennsylvania as a cold front moves through Monday afternoon.
