Warm (Almost Hot) & Dry Weather Likely this Weekend

After a very long winter, we are finally getting a warm and dry period this weekend. Highs will run 10-20 degrees above average thanks to a system northwest of us bringing up warm air from the south.

Temperatures will be well into the 70s across many areas Friday. Here are the projected highs for Friday:

By Saturday places in Southern PA will be pushing the 80 degree mark. 

There will be a sharp contrast in temperatures along the New York border as you can see above.

Enjoy it while it lasts, because we will be right back into the 50s next week. Sunday’s highs are somewhat up in the air. Some data suggests a backdoor cold front will hold us in the 40s, while other guidance keeps us in the 60s.

While Friday and Saturday will be mainly sunny, there is a chance of showers Sunday.

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!
