Sunny skies and seasonal temperatures will
prevail across Pennsylvania during the next few days. A
large area of high pressure will slowly track eastward
allowing winds to become more southwesterly. This will
allow milder air to return to the region on Friday. The
next round of precipitation will occur this weekend as a
disturbance crosses the state Friday night. Temperatures
will cool slightly behind the system, and a few snow
showers are possible during the day on Sunday.

Highlight
Bitterly cold outbreaks in Pennsylvania have been rare this winter. The lowest temperature recorded so far in the commonwealth was Kane at -2 degrees. In State College, the lowest temperature so far this season has been only 13 degrees. If this stands throughout the remainder of the winter season, this will turn out to be the highest minimum temperature recorded for a season since records began.
