Fall Arrives

Synopsis:

We will see a beginning to fall weather here in PA after a cold front swings through tomorrow. Expect rain and windy conditions along associated with this front throughout the day tomorrow, along with the chance for a few scattered showers tonight developing ahead of the front. So, it's going to be a rainy Saturday, but all that precipitation will clear out and leave us with a beautiful, partly cloudy, and much cooler start to next week. With highs barely reaching into the 60's and lows dropping into the 30's overnight, it's definitely the start of fall!

Short Term:

Unfortunately, the front looks to sweep through central PA right around game time, at 2000Z. This timing is generally agreed upon my most models. A level of uncertainty remains, though, pertaining to the amount of expected precipitation. The more resolution the models have, the less rain they show falling here in Centre County, with most of the precipitation falling in southeastern and northwestern PA. This may be a good sign… but still expect some rain just in time for the game tomorrow.

Long Term:

After the front sweeps through, cooler temperatures will blast their way into our region. Expect lows overnight dropping into the 30's, possibly below freezing in higher elevations! This fall weather will arrive just in time for the actual season, and will dominate our weather through the middle of the week. At this point, high pressure looks to build in over our region, keeping us cool and dry through the end of next week and into the weekend.
