Central PA Spring 2026 Discussion/Obs Thread
ChescoWx replied to Voyager's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Unfortunately, our warmth will be a bit muted for the rest of the work week along with rain much of the time. Today will likely be our "warmest" day of the work week with highs in the upper 40's. The pain of spring in the Northeast with chilly ocean water temperatures will rear its ugly head for the rest of the week as winds back off the very chilly ocean and drive temps back down into the low to mid 40's at best for both Thursday and Friday. We finally warm up for the weekend with temps into the 60's. We should see as much as 0.75" to an inch of beneficial rains over the rest of the work week. -

We will see well below average temperatures both today and tomorrow before we see about a 10-day period of well above normal temperatures. We turn colder again around the 13th of March. Some southern areas could see some light snow developing this afternoon with snow spreading northbound across the rest of the area after 1am. Expect to see some Winter Weather Advisories issued later for many areas N and W of Philly. Any snow will change to freezing rain and then all rain by no later than about 10am on Tuesday. It could be a slippery commute in spots. For the rest of the week, we warm to well above normal temperatures with solid changes of needed rain for most days with the exception of Friday. -

Today will be the warmest day of the year with highs into the mid 50's. The warmest day so far this year was 51.4 degrees on January 7th. Today will be our warmest day since the 56.6 degree reading on December 19th. To put a fine point on how unusually cold this winter has been since December 1st today will be only the 6th day to reach 50 degrees or higher. During the winter months of December through February 60 of those 90 winter days featured below normal temperatures. The warmth will be short lived as a cold front crosses the area overnight tonight. We could also see some wintry precipitation by tomorrow morning as light rain looks to transition to some freezing drizzle as temperatures fall below freezing by 7am. The freezing drizzle could end as a little light snow before ending by noon. Very cold on Monday with temperatures remaining below freezing and more snow arriving by Tuesday morning. This should change to rain by Tuesday afternoon with warmer and wet conditions through much of the upcoming work week. -

Today will tie that great winter of 1995-96 with our 42nd day with snow cover - 8th longest stretch. However, today could be the last for some spots including here in East Nantmeal where the south facing hills are now showing grass, but the majority of the property remains snow covered. A beautiful and mild next 2 days for the area with temperatures today well into the 40's and tomorrow well into the 50's for highs. But of course, in 2026 this does not last for long as a strong cold front will cross the area on Sunday morning with maybe a couple flurries and we turn much colder to start the new work week. We should see a much-needed wet week ahead as we start with some potential wintry precipitation and shift to the liquid form as we move through the week. -
