REGIONAL WEATHER SUMMARY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
1057 AM EDT THU APR 16 2026
ANOTHER VERY WARM SUMMERLIKE DAY IS UNDERWAY WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO REACH THE MID 70S IN THE NORTHERN TIER
TO THE UPPER 80S IN THE SOUTH AND NEAR 90 AGAIN AROUND
PHILADELPHIA. DRY AND BREEZY CONDITIONS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE COMMONWEALTH MAY RESULT IN AN
INCREASED THREAT FOR WILDFIRE SPREAD, IF ANY FIRES DO DEVELOP.
ANOTHER ROUND OF ACTIVE WEATHER IS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE STRONG TO SEVERE, PRIMARILY
ACROSS NORTHERN AND WESTERN PA. ISOLATED INSTANCES OF DAMAGING
WINDS ARE THE PRIMARY HAZARD. THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN
AS THEY PROGRESS EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA
LATER IN THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS.
WE WILL SEE A BREAK FROM THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY FRIDAY AND
EARLY SATURDAY, WITH ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS ON FRIDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE AVERAGE, WITH ANOTHER CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS AND STORMS LATER SATURDAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE
EASTERN US, WHICH WILL PASS THROUGH MOST OF PA BY SUNDAY MORNING.
TEMPERATURES WILL TREND COOLER DURING THE START OF NEXT WEEK WITH
FROST/FREEZE POTENTIAL MONDAY & TUESDAY MORNINGS. DRIER
POSTFRONTAL WEATHER IS EXPECTED EXCEPT FOR A FEW LAKE-EFFECT AND
UPSLOPE RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE ALLEGHENY PLATEAU.
