Regional Weather Summary
National Weather Service State College PA
805 PM EDT Fri Apr 17 2026

Quiet weather conditions are expected for tonight as a high 
pressure noses in from the Northeast, with much of Pennsylvania 
remaining under mainly clear skies. An exception is across the 
eastern 1/3 of the state, where onshore flow will bring in low 
clouds and patchy mist overnight. Nighttime temperatures remain 
mild for this time of year, with lows ranging from the lower 50s 
across the Northern Tier, to the upper 50s across the Pittsburgh 
and Philadelphia metros.

Unseasonably warm temperatures are expected once again on 
Saturday as southerly winds continue to draw mild air over the 
region ahead of a cold front. A band of showers and thunderstorms 
associated with this front will develop across western 
Pennsylvania in the afternoon, with locally strong to severe 
storms being possible. The primary risk will be damaging winds, with
potential impacts including downed trees and power 
lines. These storms will weaken into rain showers after sunset as
the front moves across central and eastern PA. 

Much cooler conditions are expected in the wake of this front,
with frost/freeze potential Monday & Tuesday mornings. Drier 
postfrontal weather is expected except for a few lake-effect and 
upslope rain/snow showers over the Allegheny Plateau. A return to 
milder temperatures is expected mid-week.
