Central PA Fall Discussions and Obs

[Mount Joy Snowman]

Low of 42 here with .03" of rain.  Another new one today, as the national low of 15 comes from Grantsburg, WI.  Looks like that rain tomorrow night should be moving in right as the Hempfield vs Manheim Township playoff game kicks off.  Rats.  Me and a buddy were thinking of taking our boys to the game.  Not sure now.

A year ago, today we saw record high temperatures across the area with temperatures in the 80's for many spots. Today we will see readings about 30 degrees cooler than that with highs mainly in the lower 50's. Some frost and freeze potential for especially valley spots tonight before we start a gradual warming trend through the weekend. We then turn sharply colder Sunday evening with a widespread hard freeze across the area by late Monday evening. We could even see some snow flurries later Monday. Our best shower chances look to be Friday night.

We’re in NYC and hope there it holds off until midnight and is out by Saturday mid am. 
 

Sunday looks wet, unfortunately.

With the big warm up inbound later next week I'd really love to hold off on turning the heat on until we get into a more consistent colder weather pattern. Monday/Tuesday next week will be a challenge to accomplish that. Though, only one night of sub-freezing temps are expected locally.

My temp went from 57 at 6pm to 68 at it's peak as the front arrived at 8:45pm. (then plunged 16 degrees over the next 20 minutes) 

Yup. I had that spike too. Went up to 65 pre-front.

My temperature is really dropping off quickly tonight. Already down to 36 at 9:30 pm. I could be on the way to my coldest morning yet of the season.
