Wednesday November 16th, 2011 Afternoon

Synopsis:

The rain will continue overnight as the low pressure remains stalled for a few more hours before exiting the commonwealth. Skies should begin to clear by Thursday morning as cooler temperatures set in as the 540mb line drops below the Commonwealth. The cooler temperatures may create some lake effect snow showers late Thursday and early Friday in the northwestern part of the state. Friday looks to be sunny with temperatures beginning to rise as a high pressure enters the state leaving us with dry and sunny skies. The weekend looks even brighter with above average temperatures and mostly sunny skies before a possible cold front moves in late Sunday and into Monday morning.

Short Term:

Showers will continue across the Commonwealth as a stalled low pressure system travels across the state, tapering off by Thursday morning. Temperatures across the region Thursday should be in the mid to high 40s, while at night look to be in the high 20s. With cooler temperatures in the Northwest, lake effect snow showers are possible late Thursday and early Friday morning. Friday looks to be drier as a high pressure moves into the area with overnight temperatures closer to the low 30s.

Long Term:

Mostly sunny skies with milder temperatures will take over on Saturday with the high in the low 50s. Sunday should also be very sunny with temperatures in the mid-50s. The high pressure will dominate the region keeping skies mostly clear with above average temperatures to look forward to. A possible cold front looks to move into the area late Sunday and into Monday morning.
