…Synopsis…

A cold front will be passing through late this night in most regions of Pennsylvania. A high pressure system should be making its way in for the next couple of days bringing relatively fair weather with mostly sunny skies.

….Short Term…

Most places within Pennsylvania should be experiencing relatively fair weather for most of the upcoming week. The GFS 12Z run shows a few high pressure systems moving in producing sunny skies for the next couple of days. Around Wednesday into early Thursday, the GFS also shows a low pressure system that is staying mostly within the bounds of Canada. This in turn could produce some spotty showers in the northern parts of Pennsylvania but little accumulation is expected. The 540 line seems to be hovering around most of Pennsylvania during this week, so temperatures should not be departing to far from the current normal temperatures.

….Long Term…

The main concern is for the later part of this week. Most models, including the GFS,  show a large low pressure system coming in on Friday. This in turn will produce a lot of rain and with temperatures hovering in the cooler temperatures, there is a chance for snow and mixed precipitation. The most ideal scenario at this point is rain in most regions of the state however.
