Pennsylvania – Wet pavement and passing showers are already creating slick travel conditions across central Pennsylvania this afternoon, with more rain building through the day in State College.
According to the National Weather Service, a 40 percent chance of showers continues through the afternoon, with winds gusting up to 28 mph and temperatures climbing near 75°F. Conditions remain unsettled, and brief downpours could reduce visibility on roads like I-99 and Route 322.
Showers ease slightly into the evening, but the bigger concern develops into Tuesday and Wednesday. Thunderstorm chances increase, especially late Tuesday into Tuesday night, when scattered storms could bring heavier rain and isolated gusty winds.
By Wednesday, rain chances rise again to as high as 50 percent, with additional thunderstorms possible. Roads across Centre County may see repeated wet conditions, increasing the risk of minor ponding and slower commutes. Keep headlights on in rain and allow extra stopping distance.
Temperatures trend warmer midweek, peaking near 83°F before slightly easing later. That warmth will fuel instability, helping storms redevelop through midweek. By Thursday, another round of scattered showers lingers, keeping conditions unsettled.
Looking ahead, Friday offers a brief break with mostly sunny skies and highs near the upper 70s. However, more showers return by the weekend, signaling an active spring pattern.
