Pennsylvania – Frost clings to grass and windshields this morning as temperatures sit near 27°F, creating a sharp, biting start before a fast spring warm-up takes hold.
According to the National Weather Service, highs rebound to near 58°F today with light winds, marking the beginning of a steady climb toward much warmer air early this week.
That warming trend accelerates quickly.
By Monday, temperatures rise into the mid-60s with southwest winds gusting over 20 mph. It will feel noticeably milder by midday, especially compared to the freezing start. Dress in layers early, then shed them by afternoon.
Rain chances begin to develop late in the day.
Scattered showers and a slight thunder risk arrive by Monday night, signaling a more active pattern ahead. Roads may turn damp after sunset, especially on Route 322 and I-99.
Tuesday brings the warmest air and increasing impacts.
Highs push near 75°F with gusty winds up to 24 mph. Showers remain possible through the day, but conditions stay relatively manageable for most daytime travel.
Rain becomes more persistent into Tuesday night.
Showers and thunderstorms increase in coverage, leading to wet roads and reduced visibility. Plan extra travel time and keep headlights on during heavier bursts.
Midweek turns wetter and cooler.
By Wednesday, widespread showers develop with highs falling back into the upper 60s. Rain continues into Thursday, keeping surfaces slick and conditions unsettled across central Pennsylvania.
Looking ahead, early April trends suggest above-normal temperatures returning, offering a more stable stretch after this wet pattern moves out.
