Regional Weather Summary
National Weather Service State College PA
527 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2024

Showers over the southeast will move away to the east early this
morning. Much drier air is moving in from the west, and should
help to clear the sky up for a brief time this morning, before
clouds pop back up over the northern mountains. A few of these 
clouds in the north could make a light shower late this morning 
and afternoon. But, any showers should be fleeting and should
hardly wet the ground. The west wind will become gusty with
sustain speeds increasing to 15 to 20 MPH and gusts peaking over
30 MPH, especially on the higher hills. Highs today will be in the
lower 40s close to Erie and Warren, and in the mid 60s in
Lancaster and Philadelphia.

Temperatures will drop close to or even below freezing tonight
over much of northern and western PA. There is also a potential 
for frost to form in the central mountains where temperatures will
get down into the 30s. Even though the wind does die down, 
varying cloud cover and the residual wind may make it difficult 
for frost to form there. The southeast should stay mild enough to
not have a worry for frost tonight.

The wind picks back up a bit on Sunday while a mostly cloudy 
morning will give way to a mostly sunny afternoon for most of the 
Commonwealth. Highs should be in the 50s for most. 

Frost is again possible on Monday morning thanks to a mainly 
clear sky and the diminishing wind.
