The past 24 hours have seen times of sun and clouds, with temperatures returning from cooler back up to more seasonable average. The region saw some scattered showers this morning, followed by clearing later this morning.

As we head throughout the rest of the day today, the Commonwealth should expect more warming temperatures to above seasonal averages. We’re also expecting mostly to partly sunny skies to continue as we head throughout the rest of the day and into tomorrow.

Looking ahead, temperatures will continue to remain considerably above average for the rest of the week, with isolated showers possible on Thursday and Friday. As for the weekend, the region should expect more sustained rain possibly followed by cooler temperatures to start the weekend.

Winter has returned to the Commonwealth for a brief period early this week, with temperatures 15 to 20 degrees below average across much of the state. These frosty conditions arrived behind a cold front this weekend, which created a large swing in temperatures from well above average at the end of last week to well below average now. Temperatures could even dip below freezing in some areas of PA tonight bringing about a chance of snow flurries.

Conditions start to return to average as the week progresses. A low pressure system will pass through the state on Tuesday evening, bringing light rain showers. After this system passes, we shouldn’t see any additional precipitation until Friday evening.

Tuesday was a warm, but unsettled day across the Commonwealth, with strong thunderstorms across the northern tier of the state. Regions that did not see these storms ended up with a gorgeous day, with plentiful sunshine and temperatures in the high 70s and 80s. It was a humid day, with dew points in the 50s and 60s, and more of the same is on the way.

Wednesday brings record challenging heat to the Commonwealth, with widespread 80s and 90s for all expect the Lake Erie lakeshore. Multiple reporting sites could break daily records for high temperatures. Dew points remain high, and strong to severe storms are possible in Western PA this evening, with widespread showers and downpours for the majority of the state tonight.

The rest of the week remains above average for temperatures, but not as warm as Wednesday, with temperatures hovering in the high 70s and low 80s through Saturday. A cold front will swing through the Commonwealth on Sunday, dropping temperatures back to near average for this time of the year.

Forget spring, summer has sprung, with temperatures across the Commonwealth between 10 and 20 degrees above average. These temperatures will persist throughout the week, bringing about our first period of extended warmth for the year.

With this heat comes a summer-like storm pattern. Slight chances of rain will be present across the state every day this week. On Tuesday and Wednesday there will be a possibility of isolated thunderstorms.

Sunshine will briefly return on Friday, before another round of showers over the weekend. Temperatures will finally return closer to average on Sunday, feeling more like April than the rest of the week.

A cold front from last weekend caused below average temperatures but relatively clear skies. After the rainy weather on Saturday, there has been no precipitation. High pressure has been settling in the past few days.

Clear skies dominating for most of today and temperatures on the rise. Cooler conditions will remain for the morning but expect temperatures to climb above the 60s. High pressure will still remain throughout the day.

On Friday there is a slight chance of rain and temperatures will once again fall from the passing cold front. On Monday and Tuesday temperatures will rise to warm and spring-like temperatures. Both Monday and Tuesday have chances of some isolated showers.
