Pennsylvania — A thin veil of cold morning air hangs over Centre County, leaving wet pavement shining under the early dawn light as clouds drift quietly above the ridges. The chill feels sharper than recent days, carrying the unmistakable hint of early-season winter as November deepens and travel ramps up across the region.
Residents should plan around increasing clouds and developing showers today, especially for midday errands or drives toward I-99 or campus areas. According to the National Weather Service State College, showers build after 2 p.m., with a breezy south wind helping temperatures climb toward the upper 50s. Keep jackets and umbrellas close; brief downpours may reduce visibility and leave slick roads.
Tonight brings a stronger push of moisture, with showers likely and gusts reaching 31 mph. Models hint at an early sign of winter as colder air filters in by daybreak Sunday. That sets up a Sunday Rain/Wet Snow Tease, especially during the afternoon as temperatures wobble near 40°F. Any flakes remain minor, yet quick bursts could impact travel on rural roads and higher terrain west of town.
Monday brings the most noteworthy change. NWS highlights a slight chance of snow showers early as colder northwest winds settle in. A brief mix or possible changeover may occur before skies brighten later in the day. Impacts stay limited but worth monitoring for those commuting early, especially students and staff heading to campus.
The pattern stays unsettled into Tuesday and Wednesday with additional light rain chances. While nothing major is expected yet, this stretch marks the first real Winter Tease before Thanksgiving week.
