After a very cold start this morning, temperatures today will only rebound into the 20s and 30s throughout the state today with more sun than clouds. 

The good news for people that are looking for warmer weather, it is coming. A January “thaw” is expected beginning this weekend. Temperatures will climb well into upper 30s for Northern Pennsylvania and mid to upper 40s for Southern Pennsylvania. Instead of a pattern that keeps us under a trough allowing for cold Canadian air to sneak into our region, a ridge will begin to develop for this weekend which will allow for a warmer southwesterly flow. 

Josh has been passionate about weather as long as his memory dates! From watching the Weather Channel at age 7, to making hand-drawn hurricane maps at age 11, starting his first weather site at 13, and founding PWA at 15 and forecasting for the state for the past 9 years, Josh's interest in weather has never dwindled! As difficult as it is, he greatly enjoys forecasting for Pennsylvania due to its countless microclimates. The state is an East Coast severe weather hotspot and nearly always home to the rain/snow line during winter storms!
