First Frosts & Freezes Expected In Parts of Pennsylvania This Weekend As Fall Air Moves In

After a record-hot summer, we deserve a nice early fall chill, right? A trough digging into the northeast US will provide just that this weekend. Temperatures will plunge 10 to 20 degrees below average Friday to Sunday. High temperatures will only reach the 50s and 60s, with lows dipping into the 30s and low 40s.

Temperatures are anticipated to stay below normal for most of the remaining days of September, and mainly dry conditions are forecast. Those two together could very well result in one of the best fall foliage displays in many years is possible this fall!




WEEKEND LOW TEMPERATURE FORECAST

Areas in dark red are at risk of seeing a frost, which may damage crops as well as sensitive outdoor vegetation. Sheltered valleys in the northern PA mountains may dip to near 32°, which could result in a killing freeze and the end of the growing season for those locations. Watch for any Frost Advisories or Freeze Warnings issued for your county.

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!
