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.

This weekend, warmer conditions persist in the low to mid 60s, with partly cloudy skies and low chance of precipitation both Saturday and Sunday. Winds light and variable throughout. Next week, we can expect temperatures to exceed average in the low 80s with a chance of light rain.

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.

Over the weekend, summer-like temperatures were well above average, and early Sunday morning a cold front moved through. Rain was associated with this cold front, leaving behind cooler temperatures and clouds for Easter Sunday.

This morning, we had some breezy conditions, making already below average temperatures feeling even cooler. Today we’re expecting below average temperatures with sunny conditions, with highs only reaching the low to mid 40s. Later this week, temperatures will rebound to the low 70s, however there is a chance of rain in the western portions of the Commonwealth.

Over the weekend, temperatures will remain mild with calm and clear conditions and highs in the mid to upper 60s, while high pressure overtakes the eastern United States.

Last Chance for Snow?

Despite this weekend’s pleasant conditions, temperatures will sink back below average on Tuesday and into early Wednesday morning. Temperatures could reach the freezing mark, particularly in central and northwest PA. These conditions mean that some snow will be possible that night. As conditions have slowly been warming for spring, this could be the Commonwealth’s last chance to see some flakes before the warmth takes over.

Though the week will begin with clear conditions, clouds will return by Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will slowly rebound back to average.

Our next chance of precipitation will be associated with a cold front passing through PA at the end of the week. With the warmer conditions, however, this event will only bring rain.

Warm Conditions Followed by Intermittent Storms

We have had cooler conditions throughout this week with cloudy and windy conditions carrying into this morning. Highs only reached into the lower 50s yesterday and lows were in the lower 40s. Those cool and dreary conditions continued this morning, but that will change as we head into this afternoon.

We expect highs in the lower 70s this afternoon with some breaks in cloud cover starting around 3 pm, but we cannot rule out a stray shower. This evening will clear up further with lows only in the upper 50s.

For tomorrow we will experience unseasonably warm conditions with highs right around 80 degrees. It will be overcast throughout the day but dry conditions are expected. In the evening, however, we will observe rain and a possible thunderstorm. Temperatures will drop rapidly overnight leading to a chillier Easter Sunday.
