Pennsylvania starts the day damp and gray, with light rain brushing across State College and wet pavement slowing early travel.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures sit near 41°F with light northeast winds around 10 mph. A few showers continue through the early morning hours, especially before mid-morning, leaving roads slick along I-99 and Route 322. Rain chances remain around 20 percent, but even light drizzle can reduce visibility and traction.
Drivers should plan extra time. Watch for ponding in low spots and reduced visibility during passing showers. Conditions gradually improve by late morning as clouds begin to break and drier air moves in.
The bigger shift unfolds through midweek. Sunshine returns Tuesday with highs near 48°F, followed by a warmer push into the upper 50s Wednesday. By Thursday, temperatures climb to the mid-60s, bringing a noticeable spring warmup across central Pennsylvania.
That warmth comes with another system. Showers redevelop Thursday afternoon, becoming more widespread Thursday night. Rain chances jump to 80 percent, with steady rainfall likely into early Friday. Wet roads and slower commutes are expected during this period.
Colder air follows behind the rain. Temperatures drop into the 20s Thursday night, raising the risk of flash freezing on untreated surfaces as moisture lingers.
