Pennsylvania’s cold air bites across Centre County this morning, with gray skies hanging low over State College and frost lining parked cars. Temperatures sit at 25 degrees at University Park Airport, with a steady west wind near 10 mph pushing wind chills into the mid-teens.
A few isolated snow showers drift through early, but steadier accumulation is not expected. Roads remain mostly wet to dry, though untreated surfaces could stay slick. This is prime flash-freeze season. When afternoon melting meets a quick temperature drop after sunset, black ice can form fast.
Clouds hold tough through midday before gradual clearing begins. Highs reach only 28 degrees, keeping the air brisk. Winds gust at times near 20 mph, adding to the chill along I-99 and Route 322.
Tonight turns sharply colder with lows near 15 degrees. Any damp pavement could refreeze. Allow extra time for the early Friday commute.
Sunshine returns Friday with highs near 32 degrees. Friday night slips to 22 under partly cloudy skies. Valentine’s Day Saturday looks milder and mostly sunny, climbing to 42 degrees. Sunday reaches 40, but a rain and snow mix becomes possible after midday, with a 30 percent chance of precipitation into Sunday night.
Early next week trends milder. Highs push into the mid-40s by Tuesday with increasing shower chances. The 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across Pennsylvania, hinting at early spring vibes building into midweek.
