Synopsis

The remnants of Sandy are well off the northeast now, but some scattered showers, and even some winter precipitation are still sticking around. All precipitation should be over by Saturday night and skies will clear. 

Short Term (Friday Night - Sunday Night)

As the remnants of Sandy move farther and father to the northeast, the chance of precipitation will diminish. All precipitation should be out of the area by tonight for western parts of Pennsylvania, and for eastern parts of the state, by Saturday night. The pressure gradient is still pretty strong, so gusty winds will continue though Saturday. Gusts in the 20-25 mph range can be expected, but by Saturday night winds will calm to under 10 mph. Saturday and Sunday should be mostly cloudy for much of the state. Highs will be in the mid 40s for much of the state and lows around the 30 degree range. Skies will start to clear Sunday night. 

Long Term (Monday Morning - Tuesday Night)

High pressure will be building back in across the region, and sunshine will finally return. Highs can be expected to be in the 40s and lows in the upper 20s to low 30s. A low pressure system will be developing out over the Atlantic in the southeastern United State. This system will make its way up the coast and develop into a Nor'easter and has the potential to impact the Northeast United States unless it goes out over the Atlantic. It's too early to say whether it'll impact land or go out over the sea, but with many still picking and cleaning up after Sandy's destruction, let's hope it goes out over the sea. If it were to make landfall, it looks like it'll occur on Thursday as of right now. Whether it hits land or stays out over the ocean, it is definitely something to watch for.
