Sunshine will return to Central
Pennsylvania today as the slow moving storm that caused
yesterday to be rather dreary has finally moved out to
sea. Temperatures should moderate into the lower 60s as
southwest winds draw warm air into the region. The
dramatic warm up will continue on Friday as temperatures
soar to near record levels. A cold front will slowly
cross Pennsylvania late in the day Friday and into
Saturday bringing slightly cooler temperatures and the
chance of rain. Sunshine and drier air will return on
Sunday.

Highlight
The warmup that is expected later this week is reminiscent of one that occured March 13-16 , 1990. During that period four consecutive daily record high temperatures were set in State College. This warmup did not just affect our area, as 283 record highs were broken accross the central and eastern U.S. between March 11-15 of that year.
