Central PA Spring 2026 Discussion/Obs Thread

[ChescoWx]

A great stretch of weather with temperatures running at least a few degrees below normal for the end of May and the start of June. With highs in the upper 60's to lower 70's and nights in the upper 40's to lower 50's. No rain chances through the weekend.

I will be releasing my 2026 Summer and Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlooks this afternoon! The developing El Niño should temper tropical storm and hurricane activity this season, but it only takes one. Expect a “backend” summer with hotter and drier conditions from July-September.

It’s a gorgeous day. Y’all were right about the humidity going bye bye.

Seriously? You want it to be 95 and humid?

No, not 95, but low 80s. Like you all want cold and snow (winter) in November, I want 80s (summer) in late May/early June.

It's very windy and I'm sitting out in an open high school football stadium, and the temp is 64 here, so to me, and my thyroid induced chill, I'd rather it be warmer and less windy.

Well - If Elliott from MU is right, we're looking at 25-35 days of temps in the 90s from July right through September. Plenty of heat is coming. More heat than normal, actually.
